| Gene Description | POLR2A, RNA polymerase II subunit A, encodes for the largest RNA polymerase II subunit, which is responsible for the transcription of RNA and thus, required for cell survival (PMID: 8990153). POLR2A mutations have been identified in several types of cancer including menigiomas (PMID: 27548314) and colorectal cancer, where POLR2A loss is often linked to hemizygous loss of TP53 (PMID: 25985938). | ||||||||||
