Detection of Estrogen Receptor Alpha and Beta Gene Mutations in Iraqi Women with Breast Cancer
This study was aimed to determine the mutations and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in exon 4 and 6 of estrogen receptor alpha (ESR1) gene as well as exon 3 and 7 of estrogen receptor beta (ESR2) gene in Iraqi women with breast cancer. Different group of samples (25 of blood with FFPE from the same patient, 15 of fresh tissue with blood and FFPE from the same patient, and formalin fixed
