In germline BRCA1 mutated and BRCA wild-type patients, TNBC shows a branching evolutionary pattern of mutations with a single founding clone, are polyclonal throughout their disease course, and have widespread copy-number aberrations. This evolutionary pattern may be associated with treatment resistance or sensitivity and could be therapeutically exploited.
