The most common cause of Angelman syndrome is a deletion of the maternal chromosome region 15q11-q13, which includes the UBE3A gene. Importantly, mutations and deletions of the UBE3A gene are sufficient to cause Angelman syndrome, making UBE3A the single gene responsible for the core symptoms of the disorder. Two major deletion classes known as class I and class II deletions in the 15q11-q13 region both cause Angelman syndrome.
1 ER+/PR+: About 65% of estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancers are also progesterone-receptor-positive. 2  This means that the cells have receptors for both hormones, which could be supporting the growth of the breast cancer.
Estrogen receptors are a group of proteins found inside cells. They are receptors that are activated by the hormone estrogen. Two classes of ER exist: nuclear estrogen receptors, which are members of the nuclear receptor family of intracellular receptors, and membrane estrogen receptors, which are mostly G protein-coupled receptors. This article refers to the former. Once activated by estrogen, the ER is able to translocate into the nucleus and bind to DNA to regulate the activity of different g
