Abstract Text Somatic hotspot mutations and structural amplifications and fusions that affect fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (encoded by FGFR2) occur in multiple types of cancer1. However, clinical responses to FGFR inhibitors have remained variable1-9, emphasizing the need to better understand which FGFR2 alterations are oncogenic and therapeutically targetable. Here we apply transposon-based screening10,11 and tumour modelling in mice12,13, and find that the truncation of exon 18 (E18) of Fgfr2 is a potent driver mutation. Human oncogenomic datasets revealed a diverse set of FGFR2 alterations, including rearrangements, E1-E17 partial amplifications, and E18 nonsense and frameshift mutations, each causing the transcription of E18-truncated FGFR2 (FGFR2ΔE18). Functional in vitro and in vivo examination of a compendium of FGFR2ΔE18 and full-length variants pinpointed FGFR2-E18 truncation as single-driver alteration in cancer. By contrast, the oncogenic competence of FGFR2 full-length amplifications depended on a distinct landscape of cooperating driver genes. This suggests that genomic alterations that generate stable FGFR2ΔE18 variants are actionable therapeutic targets, which we confirmed in preclinical mouse and human tumour models, and in a clinical trial. We propose that cancers containing any FGFR2 variant with a truncated E18 should be considered for FGFR-targeted therapies.

Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Use simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
  • Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
  • Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.

FGFR2 E768* nonsense gain of function - predicted FGFR2 E768* results in a premature truncation of the Fgfr2 protein at amino acid 768 of 821 (UniProt.org). E768* is predicted to lead to a gain of Fgfr2 protein function as a corresponding mouse variant (E673*) activates FGFR2 signaling and promotes colony formation in cell culture, and leads to tumor formation in a mouse model (PMID: 35948633).
FGFR2 L776Rfs*6 frameshift gain of function - predicted FGFR2 L776Rfs*6 indicates a shift in the reading frame starting at amino acid 776 and terminating six residues downstream causing a premature truncation of the 821 amino acid Fgfr2 protein (UniProt.org). L776Rfs*6 is predicted to lead to a gain of Fgfr2 protein function as a corresponding mouse variant (L681Rfs*6) promotes colony formation in cell culture and leads to tumor formation in a mouse model (PMID: 35948633).
FGFR2 P781* nonsense gain of function - predicted FGFR2 P781* results in a premature truncation of the Fgfr2 protein at amino acid 781 of 821 (UniProt.org). P781* is predicted to lead to a gain of Fgfr2 protein function as a corresponding mouse variant (P686*) promotes colony formation in cell culture and leads to tumor formation in a mouse model (PMID: 35948633).
FGFR2 S782Rfs*3 frameshift gain of function - predicted FGFR2 S782Rfs*3 indicates a shift in the reading frame starting at amino acid 776 and terminating 6 residues downstream causing a premature truncation of the 821 amino acid Fgfr2 protein (UniProt.org). S782Rfs*3 is predicted to lead to a gain of Fgfr2 protein function as a corresponding mouse variant (S687Rfs*3) promotes colony formation in cell culture and leads to tumor formation in a mouse model (PMID: 35948633).
FGFR2 S789* nonsense gain of function - predicted FGFR2 S789* results in a premature truncation of the Fgfr2 protein at amino acid 789 of 821 (UniProt.org). S789* is predicted to lead to a gain of Fgfr2 protein function as a corresponding mouse variant (S694*) promotes colony formation in cell culture and leads to tumor formation in a mouse model (PMID: 35948633).
FGFR2 S792Ffs*4 frameshift unknown FGFR2 S792Ffs*4 indicates a shift in the reading frame starting at amino acid 792 and terminating four residues downstream causing a premature truncation of the 821 amino acid Fgfr2 protein (UniProt.org). S792Ffs*4 (corresponding to S697Ffs*4 in a mouse isoform) leads to limited increase in FGFR2 signaling and colony formation in cell culture but promotes tumor formation in a mouse model (PMID: 35948633), and therefore, its effect on Fgfr2 protein function is unknown.
FGFR2 V797* nonsense unknown FGFR2 V797* results in a premature truncation of the Fgfr2 protein at amino acid 797 of 821 (UniProt.org). V797* (corresponding to V702* in a mouse isoform) leads to limited increase in FGFR2 signaling and colony formation in cell culture but promotes tumor formation in a mouse model (PMID: 35948633), and therefore, its effect on Fgfr2 protein function is unknown.
FGFR2 Y769* nonsense gain of function - predicted FGFR2 Y769* results in a premature truncation of the Fgfr2 protein at amino acid 769 of 821 (UniProt.org). Y769* is predicted to lead to a gain of Fgfr2 protein function as a corresponding mouse variant (Y674*) promotes colony formation in cell culture and leads to tumor formation in a mouse model (PMID: 35948633).
FGFR2 Y812* nonsense unknown FGFR2 Y812* results in a premature truncation of the Fgfr2 protein at amino acid 812 of 821 (UniProt.org). Y812* (corresponding to Y717* in a mouse isoform) leads to limited increase in FGFR2 signaling and colony formation in cell culture but promotes tumor formation in a mouse model (PMID: 35948633), and therefore, its effect on Fgfr2 protein function is unknown.
