Genomic Alterations of Tumors in HER2-Low Breast Cancers.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to elucidate molecular profiling in HER2-low tumors based on a promising dataset. A total of 615 consecutive HER2-negative breast cancer samples were assayed. The genomic mutations in the two groups with different HER2 expression levels (HER2-0 vs. HER2-low) were compared. The mutation types obtained via next-generation targeted sequencing were correlated with the clinicopathological features of the patients with HER2-0 and HER2-low breast cancer. The results showed that there was a significantly higher percentage of receptor-positive (ER/PR) tumors and more low-level Ki-67 tumors, but a lower incidence of stage I/II tumors in the HER2-low group compared to the HER2-0 group. There was a significantly higher frequency of 17.62% (65/369) for PIK3CA_SNA in the
