TNF receptor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2) is a gene that encodes a protein that functions in mediating TNF signal transduction by interacting with TNF receptors. The protein is also important for TNF-alpha mediated activation of NF-kappaB and MAPK8/JNK. Missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, and frameshift deletions are observed in cancers such as eye cancer, intestinal cancer, and lung cancer.

TRAF2 is altered in 0.81% of all cancers with colon adenocarcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma, cutaneous melanoma, and breast invasive ductal carcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].
