We aim to find recurrent somatic copy number alteration (CNA) regions identified from breast cancer microarray data and associate the CNA status of the genes harbored in the regions to the survival of young women with breast cancer. By using the interval graph-based algorithm we developed, and the CNA data consisting of a Discovery set with 130 young women and a Validation set with 125 young women, we identified 38 validated recurrent CNAs containing 39 protein encoding genes. CNA gain regions encompassing genes CAPN2 , CDC73 and ASB13 are the top 3 with the highest occurring frequencies in both the Discovery and Validation dataset, while gene SGCZ ranked top for the recurrent CNA loss regions. The mutation status of 9 of the 39 genes shows significant associations with breast cancer specific survival. Interestingly, the expression level of 2 of the 9 genes, ASB13 and SGCZ , shows significant association with survival outcome. Patients with CNA mutations in both of these genes had a worse survival outcome when compared to patients without the gene mutations. The mutated CNA status in gene ASB13 was associated with a higher gene expression, which predicted patient survival outcome. Together, identification of the CNA events with prognostic significance in young women with breast cancer may be used in genomic-guided treatment.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
