Exploratory Next Generation Sequencing to Identify Causative Variants for Bevacizumab-Induced Hypertension From Breast Cancer Study E5103 Germline DNA Samples
This research trial studies whole exome sequencing in finding causative variants in germline deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) samples from patients with hypertension receiving bevacizumab for breast cancer. Studying samples of germline DNA in the laboratory from patients with hypertension receiving bevacizumab for breast cancer may help doctors learn about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to hypertension.
• European American patients with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) available and designated case or control
• Patients who developed grade 3-4 bevacizumab-induced hypertension during their treatment with bevacizumab
• Patients who did not develop hypertension following a full course of treatment with bevacizumab
