Differential whole-genome doubling based signatures for improvement on clinical outcomes and drug response in patients with breast cancer.

Whole genome doublings (WGD), a hallmark of human cancer, is pervasive in breast cancer patients. However, the molecular mechanism of the complete impact of WGD on survival and treatment response in breast cancer remains unclear. To address this, we performed a comprehensive and systematic analysis of WGD, aiming to identify distinct genetic alterations linked to WGD and highlight its improvement on clinical outcomes and treatment response for breast cancer.
