Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Metastatic breast cancer is a genetically heterogeneous disease and effective therapies for advanced stage disease are limited. METHODS: In this study, distant metastases of 22 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) breast cancer samples were sequenced using the Ion Torrent PGM and the 50 gene AmpliSeq Cancer Hotspot Panel v2 from 10ng of extracted DNA using 318 chips. Data analysis was performed...
