Comprehensive functional evaluation of variants of fibroblast growth factor receptor genes in cancer
[Paper-level Aggregated] PMCID: PMC8285406
Evidence Type(s): Oncogenic, Predictive, Prognostic
Justification: Oncogenic: The text describes several FGFR mutations, including N546K, K656E, S249C, and others, as oncogenic mutations that exhibit significant transforming activities in various cancers, indicating their role in tumorigenesis. Predictive: The evidence indicates that specific FGFR mutations, such as N549D/K and K650M/N, show different sensitivities to FGFR inhibitors, suggesting that these variants can predict the response to targeted therapies. Prognostic: The text mentions that patients with FGFR mutations and fusions had a higher overall response rate to FGFR TKIs compared to those with amplifications, indicating that these mutations may serve as prognostic markers for treatment outcomes.
