FGF16（fibroblast growth factor 16），癌症关联基因，基因ID：8823，该基因编码一个蛋白质家族的成员，该家族参与多种生物学过程，包括胚胎发育、细胞生长、形态发生、组织修复、肿瘤生长和侵袭。这种基因在心脏细胞中表达，是心脏正常发育所必需的在掌骨4-5融合的个体中也观察到该基因突变[由RefSeq提供，2014年3月]This gene encodes a member of a family of proteins that are involved in a variety of biological processes， including embryonic development， cell growth， morphogenesis， tissue repair， tumor growth and invasion. This gene is expressed in cardiac cells and is required for proper heart development. Mutation in this gene was also observed in individuals with metacarpal 4-5 fusion. [provided by RefSeq， Mar 2014]。
