Unraveling metastatic progression of breast cancer

To reconstruct the trajectories of BC progression, we performed exome sequencing (Illumina HiSeq2000, Truseq DNA sample preparation kit v2 and Exome Enrichment Kit v2; alignement done with BWA, substitutions and indels called with GATK and DINDEL respectively) coupled to validation by Sequenom and deep re-sequencing (ongoing), as well as copy number (CN) analyses (Oncoscan, Affymetrix) on DNA from matched primary (n=1-6/pt), axillary lymph node (ALN, n=1-6 for 4 pts), local recurrence (for 1 pt) and distant metastatic (n=1-5/pt) FFPE samples obtained from an autopsy series of 10 BC pts.
