The microarray gene expression profiling currently used to classify breast cancers supports the paradigm that ER status is the most important phenotype in breast cancer and has led to the classification of breast cancers into luminal A (ER-positive good prognosis) and luminal B (ER-positive poor prognosis), and ER-negative myoepithelial/basal and HER2 subtypes, each with distinct differences in prognosis and response to therapy [4,5,46]. Here, ESR1 is linked to breast carcinoma.
