Abstract excerpt
Breast cancer tissue has been shown to contain alternatively spliced estrogen receptor (ER) mRNA variants which may result in alternate ER proteins. These ER variants lack specific functional domains and may alter breast cancer cells responses to both estrogen and antiestrogens. Specifically, ER variants might play a role in Tamoxifen resistance in breast cancer patients, as well as the development of endometrial...
