Abstract excerpt
Several members of the ETS family of transcription factors contribute to tumorigenesis in many different tissues, including breast epithelium. The ESX gene is an epithelial-specific Ets member that is particularly relevant to breast cancer. ESX is amplified in early breast cancers, it is overexpressed in human breast ductal carcinoma in situ, and there may be a positive feedback loop between the HER2/neu...
