Abstract excerpt
Genomic analysis has recently identified multiple ESR1 gene translocations in estrogen receptor alpha-positive (ERα+) metastatic breast cancer (MBC) that encode chimeric proteins whereby the ESR1 ligand binding domain (LBD) is replaced by C-terminal sequences from many different gene partners. Here we functionally screened 15 ESR1 fusions and identified 10 that promoted estradiol-independent cell growth,...
