Randomized trial analyzes allele-specific copy number variations in breast cancer, highlighting genetic differences among tumor subtypes.

This study aims to develop a bioinformatics method to analyze allele-specific copy number changes in breast tumors.
Utilized ASCAT for allele-specific copy number analysis in breast cancer genomes.
Examined an early-stage breast carcinoma series with diverse molecular subtypes.
Aggregated ASCAT profiles to determine genomic frequency distributions of alterations.
Observed aneuploidy in 45% of cases with tumor ploidy >2.7n.
Average nonaberrant cell admixture was reported at 49%.
Basal-like breast carcinomas displayed a significantly higher frequency of loss of heterozygosity compared to other subtypes.

Loo et al. (2010) studied this question.
