FOXA1 and neoplasm: LAR tumours are frequently classified as luminal A or B but rarely as basal-like tumours by gene expression profiling.1 In a previous study, we found that AR + /FOXA1 + TNBC seemed to behave like luminal tumours with a morphological profile distinct from other TNBC, including AR + /FOXA1- tumours.9 In this independent series, we confirmed these data and added the notion of a lower frequency of basal-like phenotype and BRCA1 promoter methylation in this population.
