FGFR2 (fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 gene) encodes the fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 protein, a receptor tyrosine kinase. FGFR2 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 FGFR2 has been reported in breast cancer and gastric cancer (PMID: 22731805). FGFR2 mutations have been observed in endometrial cancer and breast cancer (PMID: 18552176; PMID: 22731805; PMID: 23527311).

 

FGFR2 is altered in 2.02% of all cancers with endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma, breast invasive ductal carcinoma, cutaneous melanoma, colon adenocarcinoma, and lung adenocarcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

FGFR2 GENIE Cases - Top Diseases

The most common alterations in FGFR2 are FGFR2 Mutation (1.49%), FGFR2 Amplification (0.37%), FGFR2 Fusion (0.32%), FGFR2 S252W (0.17%), and FGFR2 Loss (0.11%) [3].
