Association of FGFR3 and FGFR4 gene polymorphisms with breast cancer in Chinese women of Heilongjiang province

Abstract: BackgroundThe fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor pathway is activated in many tumors. FGFR2 has been identified as a breast cancer susceptibility gene. Common variation in other FGF receptors might also affect breast cancer risk. We carried out a case-control study to investigate associations of variants in FGFR3 and FGFR4 with breast cancer in women from Heilongjiang Province.MethodsSNP rs2234909 and rs3135848 in FGFR3 and rs1966265 and rs351855 in FGFR4 were successfully genotyped in 747 breast cancer p… Show more

“…SNP rs351855 corresponds to the Gly388Arg substitution, whereas SNP rs1966265 corresponds to the Ile10Val substitution. Their effects on protein structure and function may differ, and in the present study, there was no significant association between rs1966265 and FGFR4 protein expression. Moreover, rs1966265 had no obvious effect on breast cancer prognosis.…”

“…The FGFR4 SNP rs351855, corresponding to the Gly388Arg substitution, is an important polymorphism that is biologically functional and can affect the transmembrane domain of the protein . FGFR4 is overexpressed in many cancers, including gastric cancer, non‐small cell lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and breast cancer .…”

“…18,38 Furthermore, functional germline mutation such as FGFR4-G388R has been described in lung cancer and predicted poor survival in lung adenocarcinoma patients 39,40 and recent genome-wide association studies have suggested that FGFR genes polymorphisms are associated with an increased risk of developing breast cancer. 41,42 The germline mutations that we identified were mostly localized to the tyrosine kinase and extracellular ligand binding domains, indicating likely pathogenicity as has been observed for other germline mutation of proto-oncogenes, for example RET mutations causing multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2. 43 To date, few studies have comprehensively evaluated the relationships of FGFR mutations with patient features and clinical outcomes in SQCC.…”

“…Emerging studies on different kinds of cancers have provided abundant evidence for SNPs serving as predicting roles [4,5]. Further studies on SNPs in osteosarcoma will also be valuable in identifying potential prognostic biomarkers.…”
