GATA3 mRNA expression, but not mutation, associates with longer progression-free survival in ER-positive breast cancer patients treated with first-line tamoxifen for recurrent disease

Highlights • GATA3 mutations were identified among 14% of ER-positive breast cancer patients • GATA3 mutations did not predict the response to tamoxifen for advanced disease • GATA3 mutations associate with an increased expression of GATA3 mRNA • GATA3 mRNA level is an independent predictor of longe...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • GATA3 mutations were identified among 14% of ER-positive breast cancer patients • GATA3 mutations did not predict the response to tamoxifen for advanced disease • GATA3 mutations associate with an increased expression of GATA3 mRNA • GATA3 mRNA level is an independent predictor of longer PFS during tamoxifen therapy • Other mechanisms, besides GATA3 mutations, exist that underlie high GATA3 levels
