Published in&nbsp;<em>Nature<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Nature Communications<\/em>, two studies from the Wellcome Genome Campus pinpoint where genetic variations in breast cancers occur. The findings provide insights into the causes of breast tumours and demonstrate that breast-cancer genomes are highly individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">Each patient\u2019s cancer genome provides a complete historical account of the genetic changes that person has acquired throughout life. As they develop from a fertilised egg into full adulthood, a person\u2019s DNA gathers genetic changes along the way. Human DNA is constantly being damaged, either by things in the environment or simply from regular wear and tear in the cell. These mutations form patterns\u2013mutational signatures\u2013that can be detected, and give us clues about the causes of cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"vf-blockquote\"><p class=\"p1\">Unpicking the genetic variations between cancers is crucial to developing improved therapies.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">An international collaboration, led by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute with contributions from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ebi.ac.uk\/about\">EMBL-EBI<\/a>, analysed 560 breast cancer genomes from cancer patients from the US, Europe and Asia. The team hunted for mutations that encourage cancers to grow and looked for mutational signatures in each patient\u2019s tumour. They found that women who carry mutations in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene, who therefore have increased risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer, had whole-cancer genome profiles that were very different to other breast cancers and highly distinctive from one other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">This discovery could be used to classify patients more accurately for treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cIn the future, we\u2019d like to be able to profile individual cancer genomes so that we can identify the treatment most likely to be successful for a woman or man diagnosed with breast cancer,\u201d says <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sanger.ac.uk\/people\/directory\/nik-zainal-serena\">Nik-Zainal<\/a> of the Sanger Institute. \u201cIt is a step closer to personalised healthcare for cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"p1 wp-block-heading\">Location, location, location<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">Exactly where mutations occur in breast cancer genomes is important, too. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ebi.ac.uk\/about\/people\/ewan-birney\">Ewan Birney<\/a>, Senior Scientist and Director of EMBL-EBI, used new computational techniques to analyse the sequence of genetic information held in each of the sample genomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWe know that genetic changes and their position in the cancer genome influence how a person responds to a cancer therapy,\u201d he explains. \u201cFor years we have been trying to figure out if parts of DNA that don\u2019t code for anything specific have a role in driving cancer development. This study gave us the first large-scale view of the rest of the genome, uncovering some new reasons why breast cancer arises. It also gave us an unexpected way to characterise the types of mutations that happen in certain breast cancers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cUnpicking the genetic variations between cancers is crucial to developing improved therapies,\u201d says Mike Stratton, Director of the Sanger Institute. \u201cThis huge study, the largest of any one cancer type to date, gives insights into which genetic variations exist, and where they are in the genome. This has implications for other types of cancer, too. The study itself shows it is possible to sequence individual cancer genomes and this should lead to benefits for patients in the long term.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"vf-divider\"\/>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"p3 wp-block-heading\">Funding<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">The work for both papers has been funded through the ICGC Breast Cancer Working group by the Breast Cancer Somatic Genetics Study (BASIS), a European research project funded by the European Community&#8217;s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7\/2010-2014) under the grant agreement number 242006; the Triple Negative project funded by the Wellcome Trust (grant reference 077012\/Z\/05\/Z) and the HER2+ project funded by Institut National du Cancer (INCa) in France (Grants N\u00b0 226-2009, 02-2011, 41-2012, 144-2008, 06-2012).
