Overview

Topoisomerase (DNA) II alpha (TOP2A) is a gene that encodes a protein that controls and alters topologic states of DNA during transcription. Missense mutations, synonymous mutations, frameshift deletions, nonsense mutations, and frameshift insertions are observed in cancers such as colon cancer, skin cancer, and endometrial cancer.
