International audience. Copy number alterations (CNA) are acquired during the evolution of cancers from their early stage to metastatic stage. This study aims at analysing the clinical value of the identified metastasis-associated CNAs both in metastatic breast cancers (mBCs) and early breast cancers (eBCs). Methods: Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-array was performed on 926 biopsies from mBC patients, enrolled in SAFIR02-BREAST prospective trial. CNA profiles of eBCs from The Cancer Genome Atlas Breast Invasive Carcinoma (n = 770), Molecular Taxonomy of Breast Cancer International Consortium (n = 1620) and PACS04 trial (n = 243) cohorts were used as references for comparing mBCs and eBCs CNA profiles. Overall survival was the considered survival endpoint. Results: Among the twenty-one genes frequently altered in ER + /HER2− mBCs: focal amplification of TERT was associated with poor outcome in the ER + /HER2− mBC population. Among the ER + /HER2− mBCs patients for whom CDK4/6 inhibitors information before biopsies collection was available: we identified seven genes on post-treatment biopsies, including the cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4), which was amplified in 9.8% of the ER + /HER2− mBCs pretreated population, as compared to 1.5% in the ER + /HER2− mBCs unpretreated population (P = 2.82E-04) as well as the 3 eBC populations. CDK4 amplification was associated with poor outcome in the ER + /HER2− eBCs. Conclusions: This study provides insights into the biology of mBCs and identifies clinically useful genomic features for future improvement of breast cancer patient management.
