Metadata and data files supporting the published article: The therapeutic response of ER+/HER2- breast cancers differs according to the molecular Basal or Luminal subtype

Here, the authors performed an in-silico analysis on a meta-dataset including gene-expression data from 5,342 clinically defined estrogen receptor-positive/ human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (ER+/HER2-) breast cancers (BC), and DNA copy number/mutational and proteomic data, to determine whether the therapeutic response of ER+/HER2- breast cancers differs according to the molecular basal or luminal subtype.<br><b>Data access</b>: The dataset Breast_cancer_classifications.csv supporting figure 1, table 1, and supplementary tables 1-3 is publicly available in the figshare repository as part of this data record. This study used and analysed 36 publicly available datasets that are all listed in Supplementary table 8 and are cited from the data availability statement of the published article.<br><b>Study aims and methodology</b>: To evaluate the response and/or potential vulnerability to hormone treatment (HT) and other systemic therapies of BC, and to assess the degree of difference between basal and luminal breast cancer subtypes, the authors performed an in-silico analysis of a meta-dataset including gene expression data from 8,982 non-redundant BCs and DNA copy number/mutational and proteomic data from TCGA. The aim was to compare the Basal versus Luminal samples. Out of the 8,982 samples of the database, 6,563 were defined as ER+ (5,342 according to immunohistochemistry (IHC) and 1,221 according to inferred stratus).The authors analysed breast cancer gene expression data pooled from 36 public datasets (the publicly available datasets are listed in supplementary table 8), comprising 8,982 invasive primary BCs. The pre-analytic data processing was done as described previously in <b>https://doi.org/10.1038/s41416-018-0309-1</b>.
