Copy-number alterations are common genomic events in ductal carcinoma in situ and other papillary breast neoplasms. Recurrent chromosomal changes include gains of chromosome arms 1q and 8q, loss of 16q. Amplification of 17q12 containing the ''ERBB2'' gene contributes to HER2 overexpression in a subset of lesions and has been associated with malignancy rather than DCIS.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last=Rakha|first=Emad A.|last2=Tan|first2=Puay Hoon|last3=Raymond|first3=Wendy A.|date=2026-03|title=The spectrum of breast in situ papillary carcinomas with invasion and invasive breast carcinomas with papillary features: an overview of histological subtypes and diagnostic challenges|url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41404713|journal=Histopathology|volume=88|issue=4|pages=747–768|doi=10.1111/his.70072|issn=1365-2559|pmc=12891923|pmid=41404713}}</ref> | |||

==Epigenomic Alterations== | ==Epigenomic Alterations== | ||
Epigenetic changes in breast tumor development include alterations in DNA methylation and chromatin remodeling. Hyper-methylation of tumor suppressor gene promoters, such as RASSF1A, CDH1, and BRCA1, in breast tumor samples has been documented and is believed to lead to gene silencing. Abnormalities in histone modification and chromatin remodeling are also known to affect gene expression patterns controlling cell proliferation and differentiation. | |||

==Genetic Diagnostic Testing Methods== | ==Genetic Diagnostic Testing Methods== | ||
Genetic alterations in breast cancers can be identified through various molecular diagnostic methods. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) panel tests may be used to identify somatic mutations. Immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization (ISH) are used to identify overexpression and amplification of the ERBB2 (HER2) gene, respectively. In addition, various PCR tests and comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) may be used to identify particular mutations and copy number variations. | |||
==Familial Forms== | ==Familial Forms== | ||
While the majority of breast tumors are considered to be sporadic, some cases are linked with hereditary cancer syndromes. Germline mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2, PALB2, and CHEK2 are the most common genes associated with a hereditary predisposition to breast cancer. Additional susceptibility genes include TP53, which causes Li-Fraumeni syndrome, and PTEN, which causes Cowden syndrome. | |||
==Additional Information== | ==Additional Information== | ||
Breast tumors are a diverse group of neoplastic disorders that vary in their molecular and histopathologic characteristics. Recent advances in genomic profiling have significantly enhanced our current understanding of tumor biology and have paved the way to develop novel therapeutic strategies. Molecular classification and genetic testing are assuming a significant role in diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of breast cancer. | |||
