A Prognostic Model for Breast Cancer Based on Cancer Incidence-Related DNA Methylation Pattern.

ABSTRACT: Breast cancer (BC) is the most diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women. The purpose of this study was to develop a prognostic model based on BC-related DNA methylation pattern. A total of 361 BC incidence-related probes (BCIPs) were differentially methylated in blood samples from women at high risk of BC and BC tissues. Twenty-nine of the 361 BCIPs that significantly correlated with BC outcomes were selected to establish the BCIP score. BCIP scores based on BC-related DNA methylation pattern were developed to evaluate the mortality risk of BC. The correlation between overall survival and BCIP scores was assessed using Kaplan-Meier, univariate, and multivariate analyses. In BC, the BCIP score was significantly correlated with malignant BC characteristics and
