## TL;DR

FGF10 (Fibroblast growth factor 10) is a gene. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role.

## Summary

Plays an important role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation and cell differentiation. Required for normal branching morphogenesis. May play a role in wound healing.

Open Targets scores its association with cancer at 0.76 (direct and indirect evidence; datatypes affected pathway 0.97, literature 0.91, genetic association 0.78, somatic mutation 0.61, animal model 0.90).

## Notes

- Written by scripts/fetch-cancer-genes.ts from CIViC, Open Targets, IntOGen, HGNC and UniProt; the function text is UniProt's, condensed and in UK spelling. Roles: none stated by the sources. Evidence tier "association-only" is the strongest of those signals.
- Prevalence not recorded: none of the sources gives a positivity rate.
