Abstract excerpt
FGFR2 gene at human chromosome 10q26 encodes FGFR2b and FGFR2c isoforms functioning as FGF receptors with distinct expression domain and ligand specificity. FGFR2 plays oncogenic and anti-oncogenic roles in a context-dependent manner. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within intron 2 of FGFR2 gene are associated with breast cancer through allelic FGFR2 upregulation. Missense mutations or copy number gains of...
