Expression profiling of peripheral blood gene expression of women with hereditary breast cancer and controls (set 1)
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We obtained peripheral blood samples for women from Utah (USA) and Ontario (Canada) who had a family history of breast cancer (or did not), who carried a BRCA1/2 mutation (or did not), and who had developed breast cancer (or had not). We classified the women into two groups: [1] those who had a family history of breast cancer (irrespective of BRCA1/2 mutation status) and had developed an early-onset breast tumor and [2] those who had a family history of breast cancer but had not developed a breast tumor or who did not have a family history of breast cancer (some of whom had developed sporadic breast cancer and and others who had not). We then used machine-learning methods to assess how well we could classify these women into either group. The Utah samples served as a training set, and the Ontario samples served as an independent validation set from a geographically distinct population.
