Abstract Purpose: The first comprehensive analysis of the detailed clinico-genomic landscape of the breast cancer (BC) cohort of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Project Genomics Evidence Neoplasia Information Exchange (GENIE) Biopharma Collaborative (BPC). Methods: We analyzed 1, 045 BC patients treated at three GENIE-participating institutions. Breast cancer patients in the GENIE registry aged 18-56 at sequencing and with tumor(s) sequenced between 2013 and 2018 were randomly chosen for curation using the PRISSMM framework. Sites of distant metastasis were captured from imaging and pathology reports. A previously published cohort of older patients was used as a point of comparison in identifying age-related differences. Overall survival (OS) was estimated for patients with advanced disease. Results: Clinical and genomic features were compared across the four subtypes HR+/ HER2 - (N=660), HR+/HER2+ (N=138), HR-/HER2+ (N= 74), and TNBC (n = 173). The age distribution was similar across subtypes, HR+/HER2+ had the highest percentage of patients ages 18-39 (HR+/HER2-: 28%, HR+/HER2+: 39%, TNBC: 33%, HR-/HER2+ 35%). The most frequently altered genes in the cohort were TP53 (HR+/HER2-: 33%, HR+/HER2+: 58%, TNBC: 95%, HR-/HER2+ 80%), PIK3CA ( HR+/HER2-: 35%, HR+/HER2+: 33%, TNBC: 8%, HR-/HER2+ 15%), and ERBB2 (HR+/HER2-: 3%, HR+/HER2+: 71%, TNBC: 2%, HR-/HER2+ 84%). Analysis of patients with metastatic disease (n=818) revealed robust associations with OS and TP53 (HR = 1.87, SF = 100%), ERBB2 amplification (HR = 0.61, SF = 98%), MYC (HR = 1.09, SF = 52%), FGFR2 (HR=0.89, SF = 49.3%), MAP3K1 (HR = 0.94, SF = 35%), DDR2 (HR = 1.09, SF = 33%) and ESR1 (HR=1.07, SF = 32.7%). In a comparison of older and younger patients with HR+/HER2- subtype, we found that mutations in TP53 (18-39: 35% vs &amp;gt;60: 22%), GATA3 (18-39: 21% vs &amp;gt;60: 10%), and MAP2K4 (18-39: 10% vs &amp;gt;60: 4%) were significantly (q&amp;lt;0.1) more prevalent among younger patients. Conversely, PIK3CA (18-39: 31% v &amp;gt;60: 48%), CDH1 (18-39: 3% v &amp;gt;60: 21%), and MAP3K1 (18-39: 5% v &amp;gt;60: 12%) showed higher alteration rates in seniors. These trends were consistent at pathway level with higher alteration of p53 (18-39: 44% vs &amp;gt;60: 29%) and PI3K (18-39: 46% vs &amp;gt;60: 62%). In patients with any distant metastases, we calculated the metastatic burden, or the number of distant metastases reported in key sites of interest. Patients with a history of adrenal Metastasis had a higher metastatic burden (49/61, 80.3% with at least 4 distinct sites recorded) than those with no adrenal metastasis recorded (326/764, 42.6% with at least 4 distinct sites recorded). Conclusions: The GENIE BPC cohort provides a comprehensive clinico-genomic dataset enriched with younger patients with BC, providing a valuable source to improve our understanding of age-related clinical and genomic characteristics and their impact on real-world patient outcomes.
