Research based PAM50 Signature from the Women's Healthy Eating and Living (WHEL) Study
Intrinsic molecular subtypes defined by mRNA expression of 50 genes (PAM50) are prognostic in hormone-receptor positive postmenopausal breast cancer. This study used archived 1253 FFPE breast samples with high quality reads to test the long-term prognostic value of the PAM50 signature in pre- and post-menopausal breast cancer, and to investigate if the PAM50 model could be improved by addition of other mRNAs implicated in oncogenesis. It was concluded that PAM50 intrinsic subtypes were independently prognostic for long-term breast cancer survival, irrespective of menopausal status.
