Abstract:
1526 Background: 24% of familial breast cancer (BC) and/or ovarian cancer (OC) cases analyzed within the framework of the German Consortium for Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (GC-HBOC) are due to pathogenic mutations in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes. The population-specific mutation prevalence of non- BRCA1/2 genes associated with familial BC and/or OC is largely unknown and was determined in a large German cohort. Methods: Here, we present next-generation sequencing (NGS) data established from TruRisk (GC-HBOC-designed) or TruSight cancer gene panels. A cohort of 6,507 BRCA1/2-negative index cases fulfilling the inclusion criteria of the GC-HBOC for germline testing was analyzed. Illumina sequencing platforms were used and data analysis was carried out at each individual center using different analysis pipelines. Analysis of copy number variations (CNV) was not included in the present data evaluation. Results: By focusing on 8 confirmed BC/OC risk genes ( ATM, CDH1, CHEK2, NBN, PALB2, RAD51C, RAD51D, TP53), the 6,507 cancer patients revealed 165 different deleterious variants in 378 unrelated mutation carriers (5.8%). We found a high prevalence of CHEK2 (n = 150, 2.3%), ATM (n = 89, 1.4% ), and PALB2 (n = 72, 1.1%) mutations while RAD51C (n = 21, 0.3%), TP53 (n = 16, 0.2%), NBN (n = 15, 0.2%), CDH1 (n = 10, 0.2%), and RAD51D (n = 5, 0.1%) were less frequently mutated. Conclusions: The high frequency of pathologic mutations in the genes ATM, CDH1, CHEK2, NBN, PALB2, RAD51C, RAD51D, and TP53, together accounting for almost 6% of familial BC/OC risk, highlights the importance of these genes to be included in BC/OC routine diagnostics. The relevance of these mutations in a clinical setting for early detection of breast and ovarian cancer needs to be established.
