FGFR1
Overview
FGFR1 (fibroblast growth factor receptor type 1) encodes the fibroblast growth factor receptor type 1 protein, a receptor tyrosine kinase. FGFR1 and other FGFR TKs play crucial roles in development and have been shown in cancers to be deregulated by amplification, point mutation, or translocation (PMID: 20094046). Amplification or activation of FGFR1 has been reported in many cancers, including oral squamous cell carcinoma (PMID: 16807070), breast cancer (PMID: 20179196), esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (PMID: 12147242), ovarian cancer (PMID: 17699850), bladder cancer (PMID: 11389083), prostate cancer (PMID: 14614009), and lung cancer, predominantly in the squamous subtype (PMID: 21666749; PMID: 17982442; PMID: 21160078).
