While breast cancer incidence in the Asia Pacific region is rising, the molecular basis remains poorly characterized. Here the authors perform genomic screening of 187 Korean breast cancer patients and find differences in molecular subtype distribution, mutation pattern and prevalence, and gene expression signature when compared to TCGA.
