DCIS fresh frozen fragmentomics dataset

Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a non-obligate precursor lesion of breast cancer (BC). Often detected by mammography, most cases are managed through surgical and/or radiotherapy approaches. Today, it is not possible to predict which patients will progress to invasive disease. Here, we evaluated high-depth whole-genome sequenced (WGS) DCIS, enriched for highgrade clinical lesions, to understand whether deep WGS could reveal biological insights and/or personalized therapeutic vulnerabilities that may be targetable. We find genomic locations that are likely susceptible to producing the initiating lesion for structural variations (SVs) prone to subsequent evolution, termed SHOREs (Susceptibility HOtspots for Rearrangements and ongoing Evolution). We additionally highlight individualized therapeutic potential that would otherwise not be appreciable without WGS. We posit that holistic WGS profiling could offer a more precise stratification approach, discerning higher-risk cases for prospective clinical studies on personalized therapies, from truly low-risk cases suitable for active monitoring. To substantiate our WGS findings, we also performed RNAseq on the same samples, this EGA study contains the RNAseq data.
