Stats by Source

Total = all mutations for this gene across every source.

Cell line = COSMIC Cell Lines Project + DepMap + PubMed.

Tissue = COSMIC primary-tissue (patient tumour) samples.

Total can exceed cell line + tissue: COSMIC tissue-derived models sit only in global, and a peptide can be shared across both.

Function

FREM1 · FRAS1 related extracellular matrix 1

The products of this gene play important roles both in embryonic development and as a modulator of the innate immune responses and inflammation. This gene encodes an extracellular matrix protein that is restricted to the dermis. It is secreted and forms complexes with FREM2 and FRAS1 gene products and is required to maintain epidermal adhesion during embryonic development. Pathogenic mutations in this gene have been implicated in Manitoba oculotrichoanal (MOTA) syndrome, bifid nose with or without anorectal and renal anomalies (BNAR syndrome), and congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). A 715 aa isoform of this gene known as TILRR (Toll-like interleukin-receptor regulator) is expressed from an alternate promoter and is involved in controlling the inflammatory process. The encoded protein is a cell surface proteoglycan that is a co-receptor for IL-1 receptor type I (IL1RI). TILRR increases IL1R1 expression levels and regulates receptor function, leading to amplified activation of NF-kappaB and inflammatory responses. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2026].

Isoforms & Proteins

2 transcripts · UniProt mapping is sequence-verified (AA-safe)

About the isoform mapping
Isoforms & Proteins

Each Ensembl transcript (ENST) this gene is mutated on, with its matched UniProt accession.

The mapping is sequence-verified: the UniProt sequence is identical to the transcript translation, so amino-acid positions line up exactly. A * marks an unreviewed (TrEMBL) entry.

Counts are mutations and unique mutant peptides on each transcript.

What this lollipop shows
Recurrent Mutations

A lollipop / needle plot – the standard way to show recurrent mutations along a protein (as used by cBioPortal and MutationMapper).

X-axis = amino-acid position in the protein.

Needle height & head size = how often that exact amino-acid change was observed (its recurrence). Tall/large heads are mutational hotspots.

The most recurrent changes are labelled; hover any needle for the change, position and counts.

Mutation frequency across cancer types

% of samples with a missense/complex mutation in FREM1 · cell line vs tissue

How this frequency is counted
Cancer-type mutation frequency

For each cancer type, the fraction of samples that carry at least one missense/complex mutation anywhere in FREM1 – counted as distinct samples (a sample counts once no matter how many mutations it has).

Split into cell line and tissue; each cell shows mutated / total and the percentage. Cohorts with <20 samples are omitted. Ordered by combined frequency.

GTEx Expression

Median gene expression (TPM) in normal, non-cancer human tissues from the GTEx project.

Useful for judging tumour specificity – a strong neoantigen target ideally comes from a gene with low expression in healthy tissues.
