Gene Description | FGFR3, fibroblast growth factor receptor 3, is a receptor tyrosine kinase activated upon binding of the FGF ligand, which activates RAS-MAPK and PI3K-AKT pathways (PMID: 22508544). Altered function of FGFR3 in cancer may lead to increased cell proliferation and decreased apoptosis (PMID: 22508544) and mutations and fusions are commonly observed in bladder cancer (PMID: 30975452, PMID: 23175443), while FGFR3 overexpression only in bladder cancer may have different treatment implications (PMID: 32682615). | ||||||||||

Variant | Impact | Protein Effect | Variant Description | Associated with drug Resistance |
---|---|---|---|---|
act mut | unknown | gain of function | FGFR3 act mut indicates that this variant results in a gain of function in the Fgfr3 protein. However, the specific amino acid change has not been identified. | |
fusion | fusion | unknown | FGFR3 fusion indicates a fusion of the FGFR3 gene, but the fusion partner is unknown. | |
inact mut | unknown | loss of function | FGFR3 inact mut indicates that this variant results in a loss of function of the Fgfr3 protein. However, the specific amino acid change has not been identified. | |
mutant | unknown | unknown | FGFR3 mutant indicates an unspecified mutation in the FGFR3 gene. | |
rearrange | unknown | unknown | FGFR3 rearrangement indicates an unspecified rearrangement of the FGFR3 gene. | |
G66fs | frameshift | no effect - predicted | FGFR3 G66fs results in a change in the amino acid sequence of the Fgfr3 protein beginning at aa 66 of 806, likely resulting in premature truncation of the functional protein (UniProt.org). G66fs results in proliferation similar to wild-type Fgfr3 in a competition assay and transformation activity similar to wild-type Fgfr3 in cultured cells (PMID: 34272467), and therefore, is predicted to have no effect on Fgfr3 protein function. | |
H284fs | frameshift | gain of function - predicted | FGFR3 H284fs results in a change in the amino acid sequence of the Fgfr3 protein beginning at aa 284 of 806, likely resulting in premature truncation of the functional protein (UniProt.org). H284fs results in proliferation similar to wild-type Fgfr3 in a competition assay but increased transformation activity in cultured cells (PMID: 34272467), and therefore, is predicted to lead to a gain of Fgfr3 protein function. | |
K403fs | frameshift | no effect - predicted | FGFR3 K403fs results in a change in the amino acid sequence of the Fgfr3 protein beginning at aa 403 of 806, likely resulting in premature truncation of the functional protein (UniProt.org). K403fs results in proliferation similar to wild-type Fgfr3 in a competition assay and transformation activity similar to wild-type Fgfr3 in cultured cells (PMID: 34272467), and therefore, is predicted to have no effect on Fgfr3 protein function. | |
L794fs | frameshift | unknown | FGFR3 L794fs results in a change in the amino acid sequence of the Fgfr3 protein beginning at aa 794 of 806, likely resulting in a premature truncation of the functional protein (UniProt.org). L794fs has not been characterized in the scientific literature and therefore, its effect on Fgfr3 protein function is unknown (PubMed, Mar 2023). | |
S400fs | frameshift | loss of function - predicted | FGFR3 S400fs results in a change in the amino acid sequence of the Fgfr3 protein beginning at aa 400 of 806, likely resulting in a premature truncation of the functional protein (UniProt.org). Due to a loss of the protein kinase domain (UniProt.org), S400fs is predicted to lead to a loss of Fgfr3 protein function. | |
T311fs | frameshift | no effect - predicted | FGFR3 T311fs results in a change in the amino acid sequence of the Fgfr3 protein beginning at aa 311 of 806, likely resulting in premature truncation of the functional protein (UniProt.org). T311fs results in proliferation similar to wild-type Fgfr3 in a competition assay and transformation activity similar to wild-type Fgfr3 in cultured cells (PMID: 34272467), and therefore, is predicted to have no effect on Fgfr3 protein function. |
