Genomic

DNA copy number alterations: 14/18 pairs of tumors shared more than 56% copy number alterations, unsupervised hierarchical clustering showed 16/18 pairs segregated together. Recurrent changes between patient tumors and xenografts showed losses in 176 chromosomal regions and gains in 202 chromosomal regions

CGH array Agilent 244K human genome CGH microarrays. CGH results showed shared alterations between primary and xenograft tumors with more pronounced alterations in engrafted tumors, that is, TP53 patient 1 wild-type allele, xenograft LOH; ER+ tumor gained basal-like alterations

Paired-end sequencing to achieve deep coverage of patient blood, tumor, metastasis, and xenografted tumor Confirmed SNP coverage by Illumina 1M duo arrays.

The PDX retained primary tumor mutations and showed enrichment of mutations similar to patient metastasis
