CDK6 (Cyclin-dependent kinase 6) variants and mutations

CDK6 (also known as Cyclin-dependent kinase 6) is a human protein-coding gene encoding a cyclin-dependent kinase 6 protein. It works with D-type cyclins to relieve RB-mediated cell-cycle restraint and also has lineage-specific transcriptional functions in hematopoietic cells. Excess activity contributes to many cancers and is therapeutically targeted together with CDK4. This analysis covers 1,406 CDK6 variants and mutations. Of these, 52% have computational variant effect predictions. Disease context includes breast cancer, small cell lung carcinoma, and breast carcinoma. Example CDK6 variants include M1?, E2*, and E2Q.
