Abstract
Background: Genomic abnormalities in breast cancer have been described according to diverse conceptual frameworks, including histologic subtypes, clinical molecular subtypes, intrinsic DNA, RNA, and epigenetic profiles, and activated molecular pathways.
Methods: The Cancer Genomics Consortium (CGC) Breast Cancer Workgroup performed an evidence based literature review to summarize current knowledge of clinically significant genomic alterations in breast cancer using CGC levels of evidence. Targetable or disease-defining alterations were prioritized.
Results: We summarized genomic alterations in breast cancer within a framework of existing clinical tools for diagnosis, risk stratification, and therapeutic management. Using CGC levels of evidence, we catalog copy number profiles, gene expression profiles, and mutations in clinically significant genes. We also describe emerging molecular markers such as methylation profiling and immunotherapy biomarkers.
Conclusion: A summary of currently available information on breast cancer genomics will enhance precision medicine by serving as an interpretive resource for clinical laboratory geneticists, providing a foundation for future practice guidelines, and identifying knowledge gaps to address in future research.
