We read with great interest the article by Hosey et al. (1), which proposed BRCA1-mediated transcriptional activation of ESR1 in breast cancer cell lines, thus suggesting a direct link between the BRCA1 gene and estrogen response that involves OCT-1. We assessed whether these in vitro results could be clinically confirmed in an independent cohort of primary breast cancer specimens that
