Is the data mentioned in 'brca_metabric' quantile normalized or just log transformed? #1668

I used the data_mrna_agilent_microarray.txt data from the portal brca_metabric. The information about this data are given in the file meta_mrna_agilent_microarray.txt The information is as follows:

cancer_study_identifier: brca_metabric
genetic_alteration_type: MRNA_EXPRESSION
datatype: CONTINUOUS
stable_id: mrna
show_profile_in_analysis_tab: false
profile_name: mRNA expression (microarray)
profile_description: Expression log intensity levels (Illumina Human v3 microarray)
data_filename: data_mrna_agilent_microarray.txt

The information does not tell me whether the data is normalized or not?
