FGF20
FGF20 (Fibroblast growth factor 20) is a gene. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role.
Overview
Neurotrophic factor that regulates central nervous development and function.
Open Targets scores its association with cancer at 0.62 (direct and indirect evidence; datatypes literature 0.49, affected pathway 0.98, animal model 0.56, genetic association 0.05).

- 1 · What it is
FGF20 (Fibroblast growth factor 20) is a gene. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role.
- 2 · What goes wrong in cancer
Neurotrophic factor that regulates central nervous development and function. Location: Secreted (UniProt).
- 3 · How drugs use it
No product in this corpus aims at FGF20 yet. Drugs bind the molecule precisely: to switch it off, flag the cell for the immune system, or deliver a payload.

Notes
top- 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.
