Most references show data for ESR1 using immunohistochemistry or Western blotting; however, in some cases, mRNA presence was determined by RT-PCR, ribonuclease protection assay, or in situ hybridization. For some tissue, data from different laboratories may be inconsistent. Positive data are indicated by + and negative results by -. Data variation likely depends on quality of tissue preservation, antibody specificity, and variations in laboratory techniques. In cases where there are no data, the square is blank.
