Genomic alterations associated with CTCs. Genomic alterations in ESR1, GATA3, CCND1, and CDH1 were significantly associated with higher number of CTCs (P < 0.05, Mann-Whitney U test). In contrast, alterations in CDKN2A were more commonly observed in samples with low CTC count (P < 0.05, Mann-Whitney U test). In the validation cohort, significant associations were confirmed for ESR1 (P < 0.005) and GATA3 (P < 0.05)
