<span style="color:#0070C0">(''General Instructions – The focus of these pages is the clinically significant genetic alterations in each disease type. This is based on up-to-date knowledge from multiple resources such as PubMed and the WHO classification books. The CCGA is meant to be a supplemental resource to the WHO classification books; the CCGA captures in a continually updated wiki-stye manner the current genetics/genomics knowledge of each disease, which evolves more rapidly than books can be revised and published. If the same disease is described in multiple WHO classification books, the genetics-related information for that disease will be consolidated into a single main page that has this template (other pages would only contain a link to this main page). Use [https://www.genenames.org/ <u>HUGO-approved gene names and symbols</u>] (italicized when appropriate), [https://varnomen.hgvs.org/ <u>HGVS-based nomenclature for variants</u>], as well as generic names of drugs and testing platforms or assays if applicable. Please complete tables whenever possible and do not delete them (add N/A if not applicable in the table and delete the examples); to add (or move) a row or column in a table, click nearby within the table and select the > symbol that appears. Please do not delete or alter the section headings. The use of bullet points alongside short blocks of text rather than only large paragraphs is encouraged. Additional instructions below in italicized blue text should not be included in the final page content. Please also see'' </span><u>''[[Author_Instructions]]''</u><span style="color:#0070C0"> ''and [[Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)|<u>FAQs</u>]] as well as contact your [[Leadership|<u>Associate Editor</u>]] or [mailto:CCGA@cancergenomics.org <u>Technical Support</u>].)''</span>

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.

Breast neoplasms including ductal carcinoma in situ frequently demonstrate chromosomal instability and aneuploidy, which contribute to copy-number alterations and genomic heterogeneity. In some tumors, defects in DNA repair pathways such as homologous recombination also contribute to mutational accumulation.

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.

Individual Region Genomic Gain/Loss/LOH

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.[1]

Chr # Gain, Loss, Amp, LOH Minimal Region Cytoband and/or Genomic Coordinates [Genome Build; Size] Relevant Gene(s) Diagnostic, Prognostic, and Therapeutic Significance - D, P, T Established Clinical Significance Per Guidelines - Yes or No (Source) Clinical Relevance Details/Other Notes
1 Gain 1q P No Gain of chromosome 1q is frequently observed in early breast neoplasia including DCIS and contributes to tumor progression. In papillary lesions, 1q gains including 1q21.3-1q23.1 (including PRCC and NTRK1) have been associated with intracystic papillary carcinoma but not concurrent DCIS.[2]
8 Gain 8q22-8q24 SPAG1, RHPN1, MYC P No Gain of 8q results in MYC activation and increased cell proliferation in breast tumors. In papillary DCIS, gains on 8q including SPAG1 (8q22) RHPN1 (8q24) are associated with increased cell motility and cell adhesion programs.[2]
11 Gain 11q13 CCND1 P No Amplification of CCND1 leads to dysregulated cell cycle progression and has been reported in breast tumors.
13 Loss 13q14 RB1 P No Loss of RB1 contributes to cell cycle dysregulation in breast cancer.
16 LOH 16p13 TSC2, PKD1 D No LOH on chromosome 16p13 was present in 10 of 16 (63%) informative cases of either papillary carcinoma or carcinoma arising in a papilloma as well as in 6 of 10 (60%) informative cases of intraductal papilloma with florid epithelial hyperplasia (IDH) in a 1998 study from the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP), suggesting the presence of a tumor suppressor gene mutated early in papillary neoplasia. [3]
16 Loss / LOH 16q CDH1 P No Loss of chromosome arm 16q is commonly associated with low-grade breast tumors and ductal carcinoma in situ. In papillary lesions, 16q LOH is associated with malignancy.[4][5]
17 Amp 17q12 ERBB2 D, P, T Yes (NCCN) Amplification of ERBB2 results in HER2 overexpression and may guide targeted therapy decisions in breast cancer. In papillary lesions, ERBB2 amplification / overexpression (HER2 positive status) is primarily associated with solid papillary carcinoma and encapsulated papillary carcinoma with apocrine features.[1]

Characteristic Chromosomal or Other Global Mutational Patterns

Breast neoplasms including ductal carcinoma in situ frequently demonstrate chromosomal instability and aneuploidy, which contribute to copy-number alterations and genomic heterogeneity. In some tumors, defects in DNA repair pathways such as homologous recombination also contribute to mutational accumulation.

Chromosomal Pattern Molecular Pathogenesis Prevalence -

Common >20%, Recurrent 5-20% or Rare <5% (Disease)

Diagnostic, Prognostic, and Therapeutic Significance - D, P, T Established Clinical Significance Per Guidelines - Yes or No (Source) Clinical Relevance Details/Other Notes
Chromosomal instability (CIN) Accumulation of chromosomal gains and losses due to defects in mitotic segregation and DNA repair pathways Common (>20%) P No Chromosomal instability contributes to genomic heterogeneity and tumor evolution in breast tumors.
Aneuploidy Abnormal chromosome numbers caused by chromosomal missegregation during cell division Common (>20%) P No Aneuploidy is frequently observed in breast tumors and is associated with tumor progression.
Homologous recombination deficiency Homologous recombination deficiency Rare (<5%) P, T Yes HR deficiency may influence response to PARP inhibitor therapy in breast cancer; however, PARP inhibitor therapy is not applicable to in situ disease.

Gene Mutations (SNV/INDEL)

Breast tumors including ductal carcinoma in situ frequently harbor recurrent somatic mutations affecting pathways involved in cell proliferation, transcriptional regulation, and genomic stability. Commonly mutated genes include PIK3CA, TP53, and GATA3, among others[6]. The mutational profile of papillary DCIS largely overlaps with other luminal-type breast neoplasms. Intraductal papilloma (IDP) is a non-obligate precursor of papillary DCIS with a high frequency of PIK3CA and AKT1 mutations observed; the majority of synchronous DCIS in cases of IDP exhibit non-papillary morphology.[7][8]

PIK3CA Activating mutations Oncogene Common T Yes (NCCN) Activates PI3K–AKT signaling pathway leading to increased cell growth and survival. Targeted therapy is reserved for invasive disease.
AKT1 Activating mutations Oncogene Recurrent T Yes (NCCN) Activates PI3K–AKT signaling pathway leading to increased cell growth and survival. Targeted therapy is reserved for invasive disease.
TP53 Inactivating mutations TSG Recurrent P Yes Associated with genomic instability and aggressive tumor behavior. In papillary lesions, TP53 mutation is associated with malignancy.[9]
GATA3 Inactivating mutations Other Recurrent P No Transcription factor regulating luminal cell differentiation in breast epithelium.[10]
ERBB2 Activating mutations, amplification Oncogene Recurrent D, P, T Yes (NCCN) Drives HER2 signaling and may guide targeted therapy decisions. In papillary lesions, ERBB2 amplification is primarily associated with solid papillary carcinoma and encapsulated papillary carcinoma with apocrine features and is a marker of high risk and chemotherapy benefit.[1]
MAP3K1 Inactivating mutations TSG Recurrent P No Implicated in MAPK signaling and luminal breast cancer development.
CDH1 Inactivating mutations TSG Rare P Yes Loss of E-cadherin disrupts cell adhesion and promotes tumor progression.

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.

Genes and Main Pathways Involved

Overexpression of MET may be a key factor in papillary differentiation.[11][12]

Gene; Genetic Alteration Pathway Pathophysiologic Outcome
PIK3CA, AKT1; activating mutations / PTEN inactivating mutations PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling Increased cell proliferation and survival
MET; c-Met overexpression HGF/c-Met Cell motility, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition
TP53; inactivating mutations DNA damage response Genomic instability and tumor progression
ERBB2; amplification or activating mutations MAPK/PI3K signaling pathways Enhanced growth signaling and tumorigenesis
GATA3; inactivating mutations Estrogen signaling pathways Altered luminal epithelial cell differentiation
FOXA1; activating mutations Estrogen signaling pathways Maintains papillary phenotype
VEGFA; VEGF overexpression VEGF signaling pathway Angiogenesis, promotes cancer cell survival, proliferation, and migration

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

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

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.
