FGFR2 overexpression and compromised survival in diffuse-type gastric cancer in a large central European cohort [PDF]
The significance of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) in gastric cancer (GC) has been studied predominantly in Asian patient cohorts. Data on White patients are scarce.

FGFR2 signaling and the pathogenesis of acne [PDF]
SummaryAcne in Apert syndrome and unilateral segmental acneiform nevus are associated with mutations of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2), which are likely to be involved in the pathogenesis of acne. Translational animal and cellular models, developmental biology studies and clinical observations have contributed to our understanding of FGF ...

Activating somatic FGFR2 mutations in breast cancer. [PDF]
It is known that FGFR2 gene variations confer a risk for breast cancer. FGFR2 and FGF10, the main ligand of FGFR2, are both overexpressed in 5-10% of breast tumors.

Cancer Mutations in FGFR2 Prevent a Negative Feedback Loop Mediated by the ERK1/2 Pathway
Tight regulation of signaling from receptor tyrosine kinases is required for normal cellular functions and uncontrolled signaling can lead to cancer. Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) is a receptor tyrosine kinase that induces proliferation and

Lower FGFR2 mRNA Expression and Higher Levels of FGFR2 IIIc in HER2-Positive Breast Cancer
Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) has been associated with breast cancer. We performed in silico analyses to investigate the FGFR2 mRNA expression and splice variants associated with breast cancer subtypes.

Discovery of a covalent FGFR2-selective inhibitor overcoming clinically-acquired resistance mutations [PDF]
Abnormal activation of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) drives tumorigenesis in various cancers. Clinical use of pan-FGFR inhibitors is limited due to emerging acquired resistance mutations within the FGFR2 kinase domain and adverse effects ...
