Zinc finger (CCCH type), RNA-binding motif and serine/arginine rich 2 (ZRSR2) is a gene that encodes for a member of the spliceosome, U2 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein auxiliary factor 35 kDa subunit-related protein 2. The protein coded by this gene associates with the U2 auxiliary factor, which plays an important role in RNA splicing (Gene 2014). Spliceosome mutations are observed in MDS, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), AML, and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), and these mutations can cause abnormal expression patterns of some genes involved in cancer pathogenesis (PMID: 23327988).

ZRSR2 is altered in 1.20% of all cancers with lung adenocarcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, high grade ovarian serous adenocarcinoma, breast invasive ductal carcinoma, and endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

The most common alterations in ZRSR2 are ZRSR2 Mutation (0.65%), ZRSR2 Loss (0.39%), ZRSR2 Nonsense (0.10%), ZRSR2 Amplification (0.09%), and ZRSR2 X276_splice (0.03%) [3].
