Table 1 - Clinically significant copy number alterations and regions of loss of heterozygosity in breast cancer. Table derived from Geiersbach et al., 2018 [PMID 32087595] with permission from Cancer Genetics.[1]

Alteration Relevant Gene(s) CGC Evidence Level Subgroup Association(s)
1q gain unknown 2 Most common copy number alteration, often with 16q loss; all subtypes
8p11.2 amplification FGFR1, ZNF703 2 METABRIC IntClust6, ER positive
8q24 amplification MYC 2 METABRIC IntClust9, ER positive
9p24 amplification JAK2, CD274, PDCD1LG2 2 Enriched in TNBC
10q23.3 loss or LOH PTEN 2 Enriched in TNBC and in lobular carcinoma
11q13-q14 gain / amplification CCND1, EMS1, and others 2 METABRIC IntClust2
16q loss / LOH CDH1 2 METABRIC IntClust2, ER positive
17p loss / LOH TP53 2 TNBC, basal-like intrinsic subtype
17q12 amplification ERBB2 (HER2) 1 METABRIC IntClust5, HER2-enriched
17q21 amplification TOP2A 2 METABRIC IntClust5, HER2-enriched
17q23 amplification (“17q distal amplicon”) RPS6KB, others 2 METABRIC IntClust1
19q12 CCNE1 2 METABRIC IntClust5; HER2-enriched
20q gain; 20q13 amp AURKA, GNAS, ZNF217 2 METABRIC IntClust1, ER Positive

† See table below Table 2 for CGC Evidence levels

Abbreviations: TNBC, triple negative breast cancer; LOH, loss of heterozygosity.


Table 2 - Major clinically significant genes associated with somatic sequence alterations in breast cancer.

Abbreviations: BC, breast cancer. TNBC, triple negative breast cancer.

Cancer Genomics Consortium Levels of Evidence

Tier Data Source(s) Interpretation
1 FDA approved therapies, professional guidelines, multiple large clinical studies Strong evidence supporting clinical utility of variant(s) for diagnosis, selection of therapies, or predicting disease outcome
2 One large study or multiple case reports Emerging evidence supporting clinical utility of variant(s)
3 Case reports or expert opinion Unknown clinical significance
4 Published evidence indicating lack of pathogenicity of variant(s) Benign or likely benign
