Gene-Specific Template (Updated 9-28-21)

(General Instructions –The main focus of these pages is providing a quick reference for cancer associations and linking to internal and external resources providing genetics-related information for the gene of interest. Use HUGO-approved gene names and symbols (italicized when appropriate), HGVS-based nomenclature for variants, as well as generic names of drugs and testing platforms or assays if applicable. Please complete tables whenever possible and do not delete them. The use of bullet points rather than large paragraphs is encouraged. Additional instructions below in italicized blue text should not be included in the final page content. Please also see Author Instructions , How to Curate a Gene Page, and FAQs as well as contact your Associate Editor or Technical Support.)

Gene in Cancer Overview

(Instruction: Use a list of three bullets, targeting one to three sentences each for gene function, germline associations, and somatic associations. Include gene/protein function in cancer such as tumor suppressor, oncogene or other. The information provided can include high level clinically significant details such as if mutations in this gene confirm or exclude certain diseases. Of note, this gene page is not meant to recapitulate the very detailed content on related linked disease entity pages.)

EXAMPLE:

• TP53 is a well-described tumor suppressor gene that functions in apoptosis, genomic stability and inhibition of angiogenesis (RefSeq, Dec 2016).
• Germline loss-of-function alterations, including deletions, are associated with Li-Fraumeni cancer predisposition syndrome (LFS).  Individuals with LFS are at an increased risk of developing cancer, particularly sarcomas (PMID: 20586629, 27621308, 25896519).
• Somatic TP53 alterations are reported at a high frequency across a wide range of tumors, arising in ~30% of all cancer patients (PMID: 25400752, 27239089, cbioportal.org accessed 6/2/21).

Clinical Cancer Associations (Somatic)

(Instruction: include references and links to related internal CCGA pages)

Tumor Type	Alteration Type(s)	Diagnostic Significance (Yes, No or Unknown)	Prognostic Significance (Yes, No or Unknown)	Therapeutic Significance (Yes, No or Unknown)

Clinical Cancer Associations (Germline)

(Instruction: include references and links to related internal CCGA pages)

Tumor Type	Alteration Type(s)	Diagnostic Significance (Yes, No or Unknown)	Prognostic Significance (Yes, No or Unknown)	Therapeutic Significance (Yes, No or Unknown)
