Satoi Nagasawa and Yuta Kuze et al. report a multi-omic analysis of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast, including whole-exome, single-cell, and spatial transcriptome sequencing. They find that for patients under 45 years of age, HER2 amplification and GATA3 mutation are associated with higher risk of relapse, suggesting they could be used as predictive markers when deciding on a treatment course.
