Signaling by FGFR2 fusions
Click the image above or here to open this pathway in the Pathway Browser
FGFR2 fusions have been identified in cancers such as lung, breast, thyroid and cholangiocarcinoma (Wu et al, 2013; Seo et al, 2012; Arai et al, 2013). Of all the FGF receptors, FGFR2 shows the broadest range of 3' fusion partners, including BICC1, AHCYL1, CIT, CCDC6, CASP7, AFF3, OFD1 and CCAR2. Many of these fusion partners contain dimerization domains, suggesting that the resulting fusions may demonstrate constitutive ligand-independent activation (Wu et al, 2013; Arai et al, 2013; Seo et al, 2012; reviewed in Parker et al, 2014).
