These were models of Trp53-mutated breast cancer Brcal- and Brca2-associated hereditary breast cancer and E-cadherin Cdh1 mutated lobular breast cancer. Results We show that although Brcal- and Brca2-deficient mouse mammary tumors have a defect in the homologous recombination pathway there is no apparent difference in the type or frequency of somatic rearrangements found in these cancers when compared to other mouse mammary cancers and tumors from all genetic backgrounds showed evidence of microhomology-mediated repair and non-homologous end-joining processes. Importantly mouse mammary tumors were found to carry fewer structural rearrangements than human mammary cancers and expressed in-frame fusion genes. Like the fusion genes found in human mammary tumors these were not recurrent. One mouse tumor was found to contain an internal deletion of exons of the Lrplb gene which led to a smaller in-frame transcript. We found internal in-frame deletions in the human ortholog of this gene in a significant number of human cancer cell lines. Conclusions Paired-end sequencing of mouse mammary tumors revealed that they display significant heterogeneity in their profiles of somatic rearrangement but importantly fewer rearrangements than cognate human mammary .
