CDK4 (Cyclin-dependent kinase 4) variants and mutations

CDK4 (also known as Cyclin-dependent kinase 4) is a human protein-coding gene encoding a cyclin-dependent kinase 4 protein. Together with D-type cyclins, it phosphorylates RB-family proteins and commits cells to progress from G1 toward DNA replication. Amplification or pathway activation is common in cancer, while rare activating germline variants predispose to familial melanoma. This analysis covers 1,551 CDK4 variants and mutations. Of these, 41% have computational variant effect predictions. Disease context includes melanoma, cutaneous malignant, susceptibility to, 3, breast carcinoma, and breast cancer. Example CDK4 variants include A2P, A2S, and A2T.
