ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Comprehensively analyzing the prevalence of BRCA1/2 germline pathogenic variants (PVs) in a large cohort of unselected Chinese patients with breast cancer has great clinical importance.METHODS:
Germline pathogenic variants in full-length BRCA1/2 genes were determined through next-generation sequencing and/or Sanger sequencing assays in 8627 unselected Chinese patients with breast cancer who were treated at the Breast Center of Peking University Cancer Hospital. The prevalence of BRCA1/2 PVs was further stratified by age at diagnosis, family history of cancer and molecular subtype.RESULTS:
We found that the overall prevalence of BRCA1/2 PVs was 6.0% in the entire cohort, 2.4% in BRCA1 and 3.7% in BRCA2. The prevalence of BRCA1/2 PVs in patients with early-onset breast cancer (age at diagnosis ≤ 40 years) was significantly higher than that in patients over the age of 40 (9.7% vs. 5.1%). The prevalence rates of BRCA1/2 PVs in patients with a family history of breast, ovarian, pancreatic, and prostate cancer were 19.5%, 39.0%, 11.1%, and 12.8%, respectively. Moreover, the number of relatives affected by breast cancer was associated with a higher prevalence of BRCA1/2 PVs. Molecular subtypes were associated with the prevalence of BRCA1/2 PVs. Patients with the triple-negative phenotype had the highest prevalence of BRCA1/2 PVs (13.3%) among the three molecular groups, followed by the HR + and HER2- group (5.9%), and the lowest was in the HER2 + group (2.5%).CONCLUSION:
Our study provides the most comprehensive information to date on the prevalence of BRCA1/2 PVs in unselected Chinese patients with breast cancer.Palavras-chave
