Aging causes molecular changes that manifest as stereotypical phenotypes yet aging-associated diseases progress only in certain individuals. At lineage-specific resolution, we show how stereotyped and variant responses are integrated in mammary epithelia. Age-dependent directional changes in gene expression and DNA methylation (DNAm) occurred almost exclusively in luminal cells and implicated genome organizers SATB1 and CTCF. DNAm changes were robust indicators of aging luminal cells, and were either directly (anti-)correlated with expression changes or served as priming events for subsequent dysregulation, such as demethylation of ESR1-binding regions in DNAm-regulatory CXXC5 in older luminal cells and luminal-subtype cancers. Variance-driven changes in the transcriptome of both luminal and myoepithelial lineages further contributed to age-dependent loss of lineage fidelity. The pathways affected by transcriptomic and DNAm changes during aging are commonly linked with breast cancer, and together with the differential variability found across individuals, influence aging-associated cancer susceptibility in a subtype-specific manner.
