Insights into BRCA1 and TP53 associated breast cancer development from integrated whole genome analysis of mouse model mammary tumors

Germline mutations in BRCA1 are a leading cause of hereditary breast cancer. We generated Brca1;Trp53 double conditional knockout (CKO) and Trp53 single CKO mouse models, both with either one or two copies of Trp53 deleted by Cre. We used whole-genome sequencing and optical genome mapping to interrogate the genomes of the resulting mammary tumors. Our comprehensive genomic analyses show that the Brca1;Trp53-CKO tumors recapitulate major genomic features of the human BRCA1 breast samples indicative of conserved fundamental mutational processes. This study also provides new insights into the genetic mechanisms of tumor development with potential implications for the treatment of BRCA1 cancers.
