Fibroblast growth factor 4 (FGF4) is a gene that encodes a protein with mitogenic activity that functions in embryonic development and cell growth. Missense, nonsense, and silent mutations are observed in cancers such as intestinal cancer, ovarian cancer, and skin cancer.

FGF4 is altered in 3.95% of all cancers with breast invasive ductal carcinoma, invasive breast carcinoma, breast invasive lobular carcinoma, bladder urothelial carcinoma, and lung adenocarcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

The most common alterations in FGF4 are FGF4 Amplification (4.05%), FGF4 Mutation (0.40%), FGF4 Loss (0.06%), FGF4 D101A (1.92%), and FGF4 A52V (0.01%) [3].
