NCIt definition : Human FGFR2 wild-type allele is located within 10q26 and is approximately 875 kb in
length. This allele, which encodes fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 protein, plays
a role in mitogenesis and differentiation by mediating the binding interactions of
keratinocyte growth factor. Mutations in the gene are associated with Crouzon syndrome,
Pfeiffer syndrome, Craniosynostosis, Apert syndrome, Jackson-Weiss syndrome, Beare-Stevenson
cutis gyrata syndrome, Saethre-Chotzen syndrome, and syndromic craniosynostosis.;
NCIt note : Five SNPs for the FGFR2 gene (rs2981582, rs11200014, rs2981579, rs1219648 and rs2420946)
have been linked to increased breast cancer incidence. (Nature Genetics 2007; 39:870-874
