MED12 protein expression in breast fibroepithelial lesions: correlation with mutation status and oestrogen receptor expression

Abstract

Positive associations observed between MED12 and ERα, ERβ immunohistochemical expression suggest a biological interplay between the proteins. The lack of significant association of MED12 mutation with ER protein expression indicates a need to further explore the functional impact of MED12 mutations on the ER signalling pathway in breast fibroepithelial lesions.
