wallycat - than you for posting this. I am going to repost this to breaking research. In Sept 2019 my DR ordered a genetic profile specific to BC, looking at 20+markers. This is the 3rd time for BC, DR thinks each incidence is a new cancer rather than recurrence, but admits theres is know way of really knowing. Fighting the denial from insurance who claims it is not relevant to diagnosis or treatment.

Do you have access to the full article? If so, can you post the names of the genes that are linked to each breast cancer subtype?

"In all, the analysis identified 32 new risk variants for breast cancer generally. Of these, 15 variants were also linked independently to one or more specific breast cancer subtypes. Seven of the 15 were linked to estrogen receptor status, seven to the tumor grade, four to HER2 receptor status and two to progesterone receptor status."
