Genomic alterations and evolution of cell clusters in metastatic invasive micropapillary carcinoma of the breast

Invasive micropapillary carcinoma (IMPC) is a highly metastatic rare form of breast cancer but its genomic alterations are largely unknown. Here, the authors show that monoclonal metastatic ancestors share copy-number loss of PRDM16 and IGSF9 and gain of ALDH2 in primary samples from IMPC patients.
