1. Targetable alterations and pathways in TNBCs after NAC
Targetable alterations and pathways in TNBCs after NAC. A, most common recurrently altered genes detected by NGS, representing amplifications, deletions, rearrangements, and known somatic mutations.
Targetable alterations and pathways in TNBCs after NAC. A, most common recurrently altered genes detected by NGS, representing amplifications, deletions, rearrangements, and known somatic mutations. B, organization and representation of altered genes (n = 81 tumors) into five functional and targetable pathways. A total of 118 genomic alterations were identified across 81 tumors (1.5 alterations/tumor). C, integrated molecular analysis of residual tumors, using unsupervised clustering based on gene expression patterns (NanoString). D, scatterplots depicting the differences among the clusters identified in C for cellularity in the entire FFPE block cross-section; cellularity in the sampled (macrodissected) hotspot; Ki67 score; TGF-β response signature; MEK signature; and DUSP4 gene expression. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P <
