نبذة مختصرة : ER-positive/HER2-negative (ERpHER2n) breast cancer classified as PAM50 HER2-enriched (ERpHER2n-HER2E) represents a small high-risk patient subgroup. In this study, we investigate genomic, transcriptomic, and clinical features of ERpHER2n-HER2E breast tumors using two primary ERpHER2n cohorts comprising a total of 5640 patients. We show that ERpHER2n-HER2E tumors exhibit aggressive clinical features and poorer clinical outcomes compared to Luminal A and Luminal B tumors. Furthermore, ERpHER2n-HER2E breast cancer does not consist of misclassified or HER2-low cases, has little impact of ERBB2, is highly proliferative and less ER dependent than other luminal subtypes. It is not an obvious biological entity but is nevertheless associated with potentially targetable molecular features, notably a high immune response and high FGFR4 expression. Strikingly, molecular features that define the HER2E subtype in luminal disease are also consistent in HER2-positive disease, including an epigenetic mechanism for high FGFR4 expression in breast cancer.
