Kataegis Expression Signature in Breast Cancer Is Associated with Late Onset, Better Prognosis, and Higher HER2 Levels

Kataegis is a mutational process observed in ∼55% of breast tumors that results in hypermutation in localized genomic regions. Using whole-genome sequence data of 97 tumors, we examined the distribution of kataegis loci, showing that these somatic mutations are over-represented on chromosomes 8, 17,...
