Cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) is a gene that encodes a protein that is a member of the serine/threonine kinase family. The protein functions in the progression of the cell cycle at from G1 to S phase and the activation of RB1. Missense and silent mutations are observed in cancers such as endometrial cancer, intestinal cancer, and skin cancer.
CDK4 is altered in 2.17% of all cancers with lung adenocarcinoma, dedifferentiated liposarcoma, conventional glioblastoma multiforme, glioblastoma, and well differentiated liposarcoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].
CDK4 GENIE Cases - Top Diseases
The most common alterations in CDK4 are CDK4 Amplification (1.95%), CDK4 Mutation (0.41%), CDK4 Fusion (0.08%), CDK4 R24L (0.04%), and CDK4 Loss (0.03%) [3].
