Abstract

Copy number loss of the PGR gene and decreased expression of progesterone receptor (PR) may account for worse clinical outcomes in some individuals with estrogen receptor α (ERα)-positive breast cancer. A recent report shows that PR activation inhibits estrogen-driven breast tumor growth by altering ERα chromatin binding and transcriptional activity.
