Abstract

There are 18 lysine deacetylases, also known as histone deacetylases (HDACs), that remove acetyl groups from histone and non-histone proteins, thereby playing critical roles in numerous biological processes. In many human cancers, HDACs are dysregulated through mutation, altered expression, or inappropriate recruitment to certain loci. However, knowledge of the genomic and transcriptomic alterations and the clinical significance of most HDACs in breast cancer remain incomplete. We used TCGA and METABRIC datasets to perform comprehensive, integrated genomic and transcriptomic analyses of 18 HDAC genes in approximately 3000 primary breast cancers and identified associations among recurrent copy number alteration, gene expression, clinicopathological features, and patient survival. We found distinct patterns of copy number alteration and expression for each HDAC in breast cancer subtypes. We demonstrated that
