Gene Description | FGFR2, fibroblast growth factor receptor 2, is a receptor tyrosine kinase activated upon binding of the FGF ligand, which activates RAS-MAPK and PI3K-AKT pathways (PMID: 22508544). Altered function of FGFR2 through activating mutations, fusions, and amplification increases cell proliferation and tumorigenesis (PMID: 22508544) and is observed in prostate (PMID: 30761180), breast, lung, uterine, and ovarian cancers (PMID: 29104507), while FGFR2 amplification (PMID: 31076567) and overexpression (PMID: 30662521) is commonly observed in gastric cancer. | ||||||||||
