Abstract excerpt
The FGF/FGFR-system plays an important role in embryogenesis, tissue homeostasis and carcinogenesis. Mutational activation of FGFR2 resulting in aberrant FGFR2 signaling activation is known from both hereditary germ line alterations and somatic mutations in various malignancies (e.g. breast, gastric or ovarian cancer). FGFR2 mutations are mainly located within the hinge between Ig-like domains (exon 7), around...
