X-ray repair complementing defective repair in Chinese hamster cells 2 (XRCC2) is a gene that encodes a protein that is involved in maintenance of chromosome stability and DNA damage repair. Missense mutations, silent mutations, frameshift deletions, and frameshift insertions are observed in cancers such as testicular cancer, colon cancer, and stomach cancer.

XRCC2 is altered in 0.62% of all cancers with lung adenocarcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma, cutaneous melanoma, and prostate adenocarcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].
