ER status, as well as other tumor characteristics (tumor grade, stage, and size) were obtained from the medical records. RNA and DNA were extracted for transcriptional and genomic profiling on the Illumina Human v3 microarray and Affymetrix SNP 6.0 platforms, respectively36 (link). Tumors were classified for TP53 functional status (mutant-like/wildtype-like) using the RNA-based TP53 signature32 (link) and for PAM50 intrinsic subtype (basal-like/non-basal-like) using a research version of the PAM50 predictor30 (link),33 (link).
