FGFR2 gene

A gene that makes a protein called fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2). The FGFR2 protein is involved in cell division, cell maturation, formation of new blood vessels, wound healing, and bone growth and development. A mutation (change) in the FGFR2 gene may cause the FGFR2 protein to become over-active in certain bone disorders, genetic conditions, and cancers. Also called fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 gene.
