Mutation screening of germline TP53 mutations in high-risk Chinese breast cancer patients.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Germline TP53 mutations are associated with Li-Fraumeni syndrome, a severe and rare hereditary cancer syndrome. Despite the rarity of germline TP53 mutations, the clinical implication for mutation carriers and their families is significant. The risk management of TP53 germline mutation carriers is more stringent than BRCA carriers, and radiotherapy should be avoided when possible. METHODS:TP53 gene mutation screening was performed in 2538 Chinese breast cancer patients who tested negative for BRCA mutations. RESULTS:Twenty TP53 mutations were identified with high next-generation sequencing concerning for germline mutations in Chinese breast cancer families. The majorities of the TP53 carriers had early-onset, hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, and had strong family history of cancer. Among all, 11 patients carried a germline mutation and 6 of which were likely de novo germline mutations. In addition, 1 case was suspected to be induced by chemotherapy or radiation, as this patient had no significant family history of cancer and aberrant clonal expansion can commonly include TP53 mutations. Furthermore, we have identified one mosaic LFS case. Two novel mutations (c.524_547dup and c.529_546del) were identified in patients with early-onset. CONCLUSIONS:In view of the high lifetime risk of malignancy, identification of patients with germline TP53 mutations are important for clinicians to aid in accurate risk assessment and offer surveillance for patients and their families.

Project description:ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of BRCA1/2 gene variants and evaluate the clinical and pathological characteristics associated with these variants in Chinese Hakka breast cancer patients.MethodsA total of 409 breast cancer patients were analyzed based on next-generation sequencing results, with 337 categorized as non-carriers and 72 as carriers of BRCA1/2 variants. Data on the patients' BRCA1/2 gene mutation status, clinical and pathological characteristics, as well as menstrual and reproductive information, were collected, analyzed, compared, and tabulated. Logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the relationship between clinical characteristics and pathogenic variants.ResultsAmong the patients, 72 were identified as carriers of pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in BRCA1/2, while 337 had likely benign or benign mutations. The BRCA1 c.2635G > T (p. Glu879*) variant was detected at a high frequency, accounting for 12.5% (4/32) of the BRCA1 mutations, while the c.5164_5165del (p.Ser1722Tyrfs*4) variant was common among the BRCA2 mutations, accounting for 17.5% (7/40). It was observed that a higher proportion of BRCA1 carriers had the triple-negative breast cancer subtype, whereas more BRCA2 carriers exhibited estrogen receptor (ER) + and progesterone receptor (PR) + subtypes. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that a family history of cancer (OR = 2.36, 95% CI = 1.00-5.54), bilateral cancer (OR = 4.78, 95% CI 1.61-14.20), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)- (OR = 8.23, 95% CI 3.25-20.84), and Ki67 ≥ 15% (OR = 3.88, 95% CI 1.41-10.65) were associated with BRCA1/2 mutations, with the age at diagnosis, age at menarche, and premenopausal status serving as covariates.ConclusionsThe most common pathogenic variant of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 in breast cancer patients was c.2635G > T and c.5164_5165del, respectively. Additionally, a family history of cancer, bilateral cancer, HER2-, and Ki67 ≥ 15% were identified as independent predictors of BRCA1/2 pathogenic variants.
