The NM_000141.5(FGFR2):c.755C>G (p.Ser252Trp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The gene FGFR2 is a tumor suppressor gene (CancerMine: 5 TSG, 46 oncogene, 36 driver citations). The gene FGFR2 is a known oncogene (CancerMine: 5 TSG, 46 oncogene, 36 driver citations). The gene FGFR2 is a cancer driver gene (CancerMine: 5 TSG, 46 oncogene, 36 driver citations). The variant is absent from the gnomAD population database at sites with sufficient sequencing coverage. In-silico predictor (REVEL) classifies this variant as likely damaging/oncogenic. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. The affected nucleotide is highly conserved across species (PhyloP 100-way vertebrate score: 9.99). Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000883242: PS3 upgraded in strength to Very Strong (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14499350) (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24489893) (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15975938)." and additional evidence is available in ClinVar. A different missense at the same amino acid position has been reported as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic in ClinVar: p.S252F: Likely_pathogenic (ClinVar VariationId 13279, 1 star) Other variants at the same amino acid position have been reported in ClinVar (not pathogenic): p.S252L: Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity (ClinVar VariationId 549484); p.S252= (synonymous): Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 1113095, 1 star); p.S252Y: Uncertain_significance (ClinVar VariationId 4724910, 1 star) This exact variant is established as oncogenic in: ClinVar, CGI (Cancer Genome Interpreter). The variant position is a cancer hotspot (cancerhotspots.org): 22 samples carry this exact amino acid change out of 66 samples with a variant at this residue. The variant has been observed in cBioPortal in 393 samples across 27 studies and 28 cancer types; somatic enrichment level: MODERATE (Observed in many cases across multiple studies/cancer contexts.). This exact variant is curated in the UniProt human variants database as Uncertain Significance; it is also listed as a COSMIC curated somatic variant.

Genes affected
FGFR2 (HGNC:3689): (fibroblast growth factor receptor 2) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the fibroblast growth factor receptor family, where amino acid sequence is highly conserved between members and throughout evolution. FGFR family members differ from one another in their ligand affinities and tissue distribution. A full-length representative protein consists of an extracellular region, composed of three immunoglobulin-like domains, a single hydrophobic membrane-spanning segment and a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domain. The extracellular portion of the protein interacts with fibroblast growth factors, setting in motion a cascade of downstream signals, ultimately influencing mitogenesis and differentiation. This particular family member is a high-affinity receptor for acidic, basic and/or keratinocyte growth factor, depending on the isoform. Mutations in this gene are associated with Crouzon syndrome, Pfeiffer syndrome, Craniosynostosis, Apert syndrome, Jackson-Weiss syndrome, Beare-Stevenson cutis gyrata syndrome, Saethre-Chotzen syndrome, and syndromic craniosynostosis. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2009]

Classification according to ACGS-UK Somatic Oncogenicity v2025

Classification was made for transcript:

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 19 points.

O1Established oncogenic variant
ClinVar oncogenic AND CGI oncogenic — two independent sources, Very Strong (O1); ClinVar oncogenic/SCI T1 (multiple submitters, ★★) — Strong (O1); ClinVar oncogenic/SCI T1 (single/no review, ★0–1) — Moderate (O1); TSG gene: ClinVar germline P/LP ★★+ — Moderate (O1); O1 contributing sources (8.0 pts): ClinVar (somatic oncogenic/LO (★★)), CGI (Cancer Genome Interpreter), ClinVar germline P/LP in TSG (★★)
O3Absent or very rare in population
Absent or extremely rare in gnomAD (AC ≤ 2) — O3 moderate; GnomAD: AF = absent, AC = 0 — absent/extremely rare (O3 moderate [+2])
O4Enriched in somatic variant database
Enriched in cBioPortal (pre-computed score ≥ 2.0) — Moderate (O4); cBioPortal: samples=393 | studies=27 | cancer types=28 | level=MODERATE | points=2.0 | reason: Observed in many cases across multiple studies/cancer contexts.

O6Computational evidence supports deleterious effect
Computational evidence supports a deleterious/oncogenic effect; Missense variant — primary computational scorer supports an oncogenic/deleterious effect
O7Mutational hotspot or critical domain
Strong hotspot (cancerhotspots.org): >50 total samples, ≥10 same AA change; Note: exclude MSK/TCGA-derived samples from cancerhotspots count to avoid double-counting with O4; cancerhotspots.org: total samples at AA position = 66, same AA change = 22; Exclude MSK/TCGA-derived samples from count to avoid double-counting with O4; UniProt domain: 0 pathogenic, 0 benign.; ±8 AA neighbourhood: 4 pathogenic, 0 benign (OR vs. background: 45.0); Variant does not impact splicing — splice-hotspot path not applicable
O8Missense constraint in gene or region
Missense in gene/domain constrained for missense variation where missense is common disease mechanism (O8 supporting); Gene/disease mechanism: missense is a common mechanism of oncogenesis; gnomAD missense Z-score: 4.45 (threshold ≥3.09 for constraint); Domain-level constraint: variant is in a critically constrained functional domain (IS_AT_CRITICAL_DOMAIN)
