Abstract excerpt
Somatically generated mutations in the estrogen receptor (ER) have been found at the mRNA/cDNA level in human breast cancer biopsies and in established breast cancer cell lines. Aberrantly spliced ER mRNA causes the appearance of truncated or internally deleted ER protein forms. Studies on the functional activity of the ER variants in expression systems have revealed dominant-positive receptors that are...
