Abstract excerpt
Estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) mutations have been identified in hormone therapy-resistant breast cancer and primary endometrial cancer. Analyses in breast cancer suggest that mutant ESR1 exhibits estrogen-independent activity. In endometrial cancer, ESR1 mutations are associated with worse outcomes and less obesity, however, experimental investigation of these mutations has not been performed. Using a unique...
