Abstract excerpt
ERαΔ7 is one of the most frequently observed splice variants of the ESR1 gene in breast cancer but its functions remain largely unknown. Here we report that ERαΔ7 predicted poor survival in luminal A type breast cancer from TCGA data. ERαΔ7 occurred more frequently in luminal type breast cancer, with expression inversely correlating with ESR1 expression. Functionally, ERαΔ7-expressing MCF-7 cells were found to...
