Fibroblast growth factor 3 (FGF3) is a gene that encodes a protein with mitogenic activity that functions in embryonic development and cell growth. Missense mutations, silent mutations, and frameshift insertions are observed in cancers such as endometrial cancer, intestinal cancer, and skin cancer.

FGF3 is altered in 4.08% of all cancers with breast invasive ductal carcinoma, invasive breast carcinoma, breast invasive lobular carcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, and bladder urothelial carcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

The most common alterations in FGF3 are FGF3 Amplification (3.95%), FGF3 Mutation (0.60%), FGF3 Loss (0.06%), FGF3 R181H (0.02%), and FGF3 R212W (0.02%) [3].
