FGFR2
Overview
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).
