| Gene Description | SMAD2, SMAD family member 2, is also known as mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 2 and is a tumor suppressor (PMID: 30562755) and receptor-activated Smad protein that acts as a transcription factor to transduce TGF-beta signaling (PMID: 17340614). SMAD2 germline mutations are common in juvenile polyposis (PMID: 30562755) and somatic mutations in Smad2 have been associated with several solid tumor types (PMID: 22204491, PMID: 10822381). | ||||||||||
