Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is the most common special type of breast cancer, and is characterized by functional loss of E-cadherin, resulting in cellular adhesion defects. ILC typically present as estrogen receptor positive, grade 2 breast cancers, with a good short-term prognosis. Several large-scale molecular profiling studies have now dissected the unique genomics of ILC. We have undertaken an integrative analysis of gene expression and DNA copy number to identify novel drivers and prognostic biomarkers, using in-house ( n  = 25), METABRIC ( n  = 125) and TCGA ( n  = 146) samples. Using in silico integrative analyses, a 194-gene set was derived that is highly prognostic in ILC ( P  = 1.20 × 10 −5 )—we named this metagene ‘LobSig’. Assessing a 10-year follow-up period, LobSig outperformed the Nottingham Prognostic Index, PAM50 risk-of-recurrence (Prosigna), OncotypeDx, and Genomic Grade Index (MapQuantDx) in a stepwise, multivariate Cox proportional hazards model, particularly in grade 2 ILC cases ( χ  2 ,  P  = 9.0 × 10 −6 ), which are difficult to prognosticate clinically. Importantly, LobSig status predicted outcome with 94.6% accuracy amongst cases classified as ‘moderate-risk’ according to Nottingham Prognostic Index in the METABRIC cohort. Network analysis identified few candidate pathways, though genesets related to proliferation were identified, and a LobSig-high phenotype was associated with the TCGA proliferative subtype ( χ  2 ,  P  &lt; 8.86 × 10 −4 ). ILC with a poor outcome as predicted by LobSig were enriched with mutations in  ERBB2 ,  ERBB3 ,  TP53 ,  AKT1  and  ROS1 . LobSig has the potential to be a clinically relevant prognostic signature and warrants further development.
