FGD1 (FYVE, RhoGEF and PH domain-containing protein 1) is a gene that drives cell growth when it is altered. The public catalogues list it as an oncogene driver, and it is called a cancer driver by mutation analysis of patient cohorts. Tied to Prostate cancer.
Activates CDC42, a member of the Ras-like family of Rho- and Rac proteins, by exchanging bound GDP for free GTP. Plays a role in regulating the actin cytoskeleton and cell shape.
IntOGen calls it a driver in 1 cohort (1 activating, 0 loss-of-function), covering Prostate Adenocarcinoma.
