NFE2L2 (Q16236) variants and mutations

NFE2L2 (also known as Q16236) is a human protein-coding gene encoding a nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 protein. It activates antioxidant, detoxification, and metabolic genes when released from KEAP1-mediated degradation. Somatic activating variants can lock cancer cells into a persistent stress-resistant state and promote therapy resistance. This analysis covers 1,568 NFE2L2 variants and mutations. Of these, 48% have computational variant effect predictions. Disease context includes immunodeficiency, developmental delay, and hypohomocysteinemia, hepatocellular carcinoma, and squamous cell lung carcinoma. Example NFE2L2 variants include M1?, M2I, and M2L.
