CDK6 gene
Term · Oncology and biomedicine · MLC-T-ONC-001539
A gene that makes a protein involved in the cell cycle (the process a cell goes through each time it divides). Mutations (changes) in the CDK6 gene may cause cells to divide too quickly or in an uncontrolled way. This may cause abnormal cells, including cancer cells, to grow. CDK6 gene mutations have been found in some types of cancer.
