TRPS1 (Tricho-rhino-phalangeal syndrome type 1) - a transcription factor of the GATA family, has recently emerged as a promising immunohistochemical marker for breast cancer. This review summarizes current data on the diagnostic, prognostic, and potential therapeutic relevance of TRPS1, as well as its molecular functions and expression patterns across different breast cancer subtypes. TRPS1 demonstrates high sensitivity, including in diagnostically challenging cases such as triple-negative and poorly differentiated carcinomas, where traditional markers (GATA3, mammaglobin) may be absent or weakly expressed. The advantages of TRPS1 in the differential diagnosis of metastatic lesions and its possible role in prognostic panels are highlighted. Methodological limitations of the using marker, standardization needs and future perspectives for clinical implementation are also discussed in article.
