"[To gain insight into the possible biological role of variant estrogen receptor (ER) expression in human breast cancer, we have undertaken a study to determine if the expression of the clone 4 variant ER mRNA was associated with markers of either reduced endocrine sensitivity [i.e., progesterone receptor (PgR) negativity] or a poor prognosis (node positivity, large tumor size, and high percentage S-phase fraction). mRNA levels of clone 4 variant ER and wild-type (WT) ER were assayed by RNase protection assay in 106 breast cancer specimens.].
