Thirteen pairs of tumor and blood DNAs from breast cancer patients with estrogen receptor (ER) negative and progesterone receptor (PgR) positive tumors were screened for mutation analysis using SSCP method. Although neither germline nor somatic mutation of the ER gene in this series was detected, we found two types of sequence variants in exon 1 and exon 4, indicating two silent mutations in codon 10 (TCT to TCC) and codon 325 (CCC to CCG), respectively. These variants were recognized as polymorphic sites. Although the frequency of these polymorphic sites was not correlated with hormone receptor status, the variant in codon 325 tended to be seen more frequently in breast cancer patients than in non-cancer control cases (P = 0.057).

D010641 Phenotype The outward appearance of the individual. It is the product of interactions between genes, and between the GENOTYPE and the environment. Phenotypes
D011110 Polymorphism, Genetic The regular and simultaneous occurrence in a single interbreeding population of two or more discontinuous genotypes. The concept includes differences in genotypes ranging in size from a single nucleotide site (POLYMORPHISM, SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE) to large nucleotide sequences visible at a chromosomal level.

D011960 Receptors, Estrogen Cytoplasmic proteins that bind estrogens and migrate to the nucleus where they regulate DNA transcription. Evaluation of the state of estrogen receptors in breast cancer patients has become clinically important.

D011980 Receptors, Progesterone Specific proteins found in or on cells of progesterone target tissues that specifically combine with progesterone. The cytosol progesterone-receptor complex then associates with the nucleic acids to initiate protein synthesis. There are two kinds of progesterone receptors, A and B. Both are induced by estrogen and have short half-lives.
