A Novel Neoplastic Fusion Transcript, RAD51AP1-DYRK4, Confers Sensitivity to the MEK Inhibitor Trametinib in Aggressive Breast Cancers

Abstract

Luminal B breast tumors are more aggressive estrogen receptor–positive (ER+) breast cancers characterized by aggressive clinical behavior and a high risk of metastatic dissemination. The underlying pathologic molecular events remain poorly understood with a paucity of actionable genetic drivers, which hinders the development of new treatment strategies.
