    Abstract: BRCA1/2 mutations increase the risk of breast and prostate cancer in men. Common genetic variants modify cancer risks for female carriers of BRCA1/2 mutations. We investigated—for the first time to our knowledge—associations of common genetic variants with breast and prostate cancer risks for male carriers of BRCA1/ 2 mutations and implications for cancer risk prediction. Materials and Methods We genotyped 1,802 male carriers of BRCA1/2 mutations from the Consortium of Investigators of Modifiers of BRCA1/2 by using the custom Illumina OncoArray. We investigated the combined effects of established breast and prostate cancer susceptibility variants on cancer risks for male carriers of BRCA1/2 mutations by constructing weighted polygenic risk scores (PRSs) using published effect estimates as weights. Results In male carriers of BRCA1/2 mutations, PRS that was based on 88 female breast cancer susceptibility variants was associated with breast cancer risk (odds ratio per standard deviation of PRS, 1.36; 95% CI, 1.19 to 1.56; P = 8.6 × 10 −6 ). Similarly, PRS that was based on 103 prostate cancer susceptibility variants was associated with prostate cancer risk (odds ratio per SD of PRS, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.35 to 1.81; P = 3.2 × 10 −9 ). Large differences in absolute cancer risks were observed at the extremes of the PRS distribution. For example, prostate cancer risk by age 80 years at the 5th and 95th percentiles of the PRS varies from 7% to 26% for carriers of BRCA1 mutations and from 19% to 61% for carriers of BRCA2 mutations, respectively. Conclusion PRSs may provide informative cancer risk stratification for male carriers of BRCA1/2 mutations that might enable these men and their physicians to make informed decisions on the type and timing of breast and prostate cancer risk management.

    Abstract: To provide precise age-specific risk estimates of cancers other than female breast and ovarian cancers associated with pathogenic variants (PVs) in BRCA1 and BRCA2 for effective cancer risk management. METHODS We used data from 3,184 BRCA1 and 2,157 BRCA2 families in the Consortium of Investigators of Modifiers of BRCA1/2 to estimate age-specific relative (RR) and absolute risks for 22 first primary cancer types adjusting for family ascertainment. RESULTS BRCA1 PVs were associated with risks of male breast (RR = 4.30; 95% CI, 1.09 to 16.96), pancreatic (RR = 2.36; 95% CI, 1.51 to 3.68), and stomach (RR = 2.17; 95% CI, 1.25 to 3.77) cancers. Associations with colorectal and gallbladder cancers were also suggested. BRCA2 PVs were associated with risks of male breast (RR = 44.0; 95% CI, 21.3 to 90.9), stomach (RR = 3.69; 95% CI, 2.40 to 5.67), pancreatic (RR = 3.34; 95% CI, 2.21 to 5.06), and prostate (RR = 2.22; 95% CI, 1.63 to 3.03) cancers. The stomach cancer RR was higher for females than males (6.89 v 2.76; P = .04). The absolute risks to age 80 years ranged from 0.4% for male breast cancer to approximately 2.5% for pancreatic cancer for BRCA1 carriers and from approximately 2.5% for pancreatic cancer to 27% for prostate cancer for BRCA2 carriers. CONCLUSION In addition to female breast and ovarian cancers, BRCA1 and BRCA2 PVs are associated with increased risks of male breast, pancreatic, stomach, and prostate (only BRCA2 PVs) cancers, but not with the risks of other previously suggested cancers. The estimated age-specific risks will refine cancer risk management in men and women with BRCA1/2 PVs.

    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.

    Abstract: 26 Background: Early detection is crucial to improve the survival rate and quality of life of breast cancer (BC) patients. Changes in DNA methylation in peripheral blood could be associated with malignancy at early stage. We aim to identify BC-associated DNA methylation signatures in peripheral blood. Methods: We identified a BC-associated differentially methylated locus by genome-wide investigation using Illumina 27K Methylation Assay. Two validation studies and replications in leucocytes and T cells were carried out using MassARRAY. The RNA expression levels were measured by real-time PCR. Results: The methylation level of CpG site cg27091787 in hyaluronoglucosaminidase 2 gene (HYAL2) in peripheral blood was significantly lower in BC cases than in controls (discovery round, 72 BC case and 24 controls, p = 2.61 × 10 -9 adjusted for cell-type proportions; first validation round,338 BC case and 507 controls, p 〈 0.0001; second validation round,189 BC case and 189 controls, p 〈 0.0001). Compared to the highest quartile, the lowest quartile of cg27091787 methylation was associated with a more than 40-fold increased risk of BC (p 〈 0.0001). In addition to cg27091787, the decreased methylation of a 650 bp CpG island shore of HYAL2 was also associated with BC. Moreover, the expression and methylation of HYAL2 in leucocytes were inversely correlated (p = 0.006). To note, the BC-associated decreased HYAL2 methylation was replicated in T cell fraction (p = 0.034). The cg27091787 methylation level enabled a powerful discrimination of early stage BC cases from healthy controls (area under curve (AUC) = 0.88), and was also robust for the detection of BC in younger women (AUC = 0.87). Conclusions: Validating the epigenome-wide study by independent cohorts, we have revealed a strong association between decreased HYAL2 methylation in peripheral blood and BC. Our results have given an answer to the debate on the origin of BC-associated differential methylation in blood, which is not only because of the change of cell type proportions, but more importantly due to altered methylation in specific blood cell fragments, like in T cells. And thus, we provide a promising blood-based marker for the detection of early BC.
