Three proteins involved in cell survival, MCL1, BCL-XL, and BCL2, were up-regulated in confluent cells expressing all types of mutant FGFR3 (Figure 2d, Supplementary Figure 3b). Surprisingly, there was no difference in t

Evidence Type(s): Functional, Oncogenic
Justification: Functional: The passage discusses the expression of proteins involved in cell survival and suggests that the K652E variant may alter the viability of cells, indicating a change in molecular function. Oncogenic: The context implies that the K652E variant contributes to tumor behavior by affecting cell viability, which is a characteristic of oncogenic variants.
