pubmed:abstractText
Structural variants of nuclear hormone receptors have been found in tumour tissues. Experimental evidence suggests two ways in which these variants may have oncogenic potential: 1. by suppressing the action of the normal hormone receptor, thereby acting as dominant negative oncogenes; 2. by activating hormone-responsive genes in a hormone-independent manner. These mechanisms may not only contribute to oncogenesis but also to the development of hormone resistance in tumours, e.g. breast and prostate cancer.
