The co-occurrence of germline and somatic oncogenic alterations is frequently observed in breast cancer, but their combined biologic and clinical significance has not been evaluated. To assess the role of germline-somatic interactions on outcomes in routine practice, we developed an integrated clinicogenomic pipeline to analyze the genomes of over 4,500 patients with breast cancer. We find that germline (g)

Homologous recombination deficiency and tumor suppressor heterozygosity mediate resistance to front-line therapy in breast cancer
