## Executive Summary
Aneuploidy found to drive acquisition of key genes in breast cancer progression

## Intelligence Brief
Researchers have made a breakthrough in understanding breast cancer, specifically the deadliest form of the disease.


Coverage emphasizes that aneuploidy, a condition in which cells have an abnormal number of chromosomes, selects for the acquisition of driver genes in breast cancer.
 
This discovery has been reported by multiple outlets, including Bioengineer.org, EurekAlert!, Medical Xpress, and Nature.


The study identified 90 genes driving basal-like breast cancer, with 81 of them previously unknown to be linked to the disease.
