Gene‐panel sequencing allows comprehensive analysis of multiple genes simultaneously and is now routinely used in clinical mutation testing of high‐risk breast and ovarian cancer patients. However, only BRCA1 and BRCA2 are often analyzed also for large genomic changes. Here, we have analyzed 10 clinically relevant susceptibility genes in 95 breast or ovarian cancer patients with gene‐panel sequencing including also copy number variants (CNV) analysis for genomic changes. We identified 12 different pathogenic BRCA1, BRCA2, TP53, PTEN, CHEK2, or RAD51C mutations in 18 of 95 patients (19%). BRCA1/2 mutations were observed in 8 patients (8.4%) and CHEK2 protein‐truncating mutations in 7 patients (7.4%). In addition, we identified a novel duplication encompassing most of the RAD51C gene. We further genotyped the duplication in breast or ovarian cancer families (n = 1149), in unselected breast (n = 1729) and ovarian cancer cohorts (n = 553), and in population controls (n = 1273). Seven additional duplication carries were observed among cases but none among controls. The duplication associated with ovarian cancer risk (3/590 of all ovarian cancer patients, 0.5%, P = .032 compared with controls) and was found to represent a large fraction of all identified RAD51C mutations in the Finnish population. Our data emphasizes the importance of comprehensive mutation analysis including CNV detection in all the relevant genes.

Abstract Familial studies were among the first to indicate that breast cancer prognosis has a heritable component. Subsequently many variants associated with prognosis have been identified using a range of techniques including genome-wide association studies (GWAs). Despite these advances, much of the heritability remains unexplained. In young women, breast cancer is characterised by a higher incidence of adverse pathological features, unique tumour gene expression profiles and worse survival. In addition, the association of risk with conventional epidemiological exposures is less clear in women with early onset. We hypothesise that some of these difference between early and late onset could be influenced by germline variation. To identify additional variants that influence breast cancer prognosis we conducted a two stage meta-analysis of four GWAs consisting of 6,042 patients from the UK (POSH), Finland (HEBCS), Germany (SUCCESS-A) and Australia (ABCFS). Cox-regression analyses were used to investigate overall survival (OS, n=1,101 events) and disease-free survival (DFS, n=1,316 events) with correction for oestrogen status (ER). These survival analyses were repeated in a subset of patients with early onset (aged ≤40 at diagnosis, n=2,315 patients, OS n=604 events, DFS n=716 events). Meta-analysis identified two intronic SNPs in ADAMTSL1 that were associated exclusively with early onset DFS, rs715212 (Pmeta=3.54x10-5) and rs10963755 (Pmeta=3.91x10-4) without heterogeneity between cohorts. Multivariable Cox-regression demonstrated that the effect of these SNPs were independent of the classical prognostic factors. Most importantly, rs715212 reached genome-wide significance (Pmultivariate=5.37x10-8) in the multivariate model. ADAMTSL1 encodes a glycoprotein that forms part of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and may function in cell-cell or cell-matrix interactions or may regulate other ADAMTS proteases. Previous studies have shown that ADAMTSL1 is hypermethylated in ER positive breast cancer tumours. Using GTEx to perform eQTL analysis, we found that rs715212 is associated with the expression of several biologically relevant genes AREG (P=0.035), TNF (P=0.015), FASLG (P=0.0031) and EGF (P=0.0018) in breast mammary tissue. Interestingly, separate studies have shown that AREG is overexpressed in ER-positive breast tumours from pre-menopausal women versus post-menopausal women. Furthermore, AREG is differentially expressed between parous and non-parous mammary glands and is persistently downregulated by parity, which suggests it may contribute to the susceptibility of the nulliparous gland to breast cancer. We conclude that rs715212 is associated with an increased risk of disease progression in patients with early onset and speculate that this could be due to an interaction with the expression of AREG.

Abstract Breast cancer risks conferred by many germline missense variants in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, often referred to as variants of uncertain significance (VUS), have not been established. In this study, associations between 19 BRCA1 and 33 BRCA2 missense substitution variants and breast cancer risk were investigated through a breast cancer case–control study using genotyping data from 38 studies of predominantly European ancestry (41,890 cases and 41,607 controls) and nine studies of Asian ancestry (6,269 cases and 6,624 controls). The BRCA2 c.9104A>C, p.Tyr3035Ser (OR = 2.52; P = 0.04), and BRCA1 c.5096G>A, p.Arg1699Gln (OR = 4.29; P = 0.009) variant were associated with moderately increased risks of breast cancer among Europeans, whereas BRCA2 c.7522G>A, p.Gly2508Ser (OR = 2.68; P = 0.004), and c.8187G>T, p.Lys2729Asn (OR = 1.4; P = 0.004) were associated with moderate and low risks of breast cancer among Asians. Functional characterization of the BRCA2 variants using four quantitative assays showed reduced BRCA2 activity for p.Tyr3035Ser compared with wild-type. Overall, our results show how BRCA2 missense variants that influence protein function can confer clinically relevant, moderately increased risks of breast cancer, with potential implications for risk management guidelines in women with these specific variants.

Background The rarity of mutations in PALB2, CHEK2 and ATM make it difficult to estimate precisely associated cancer risks. Population-based family studies have provided evidence that at least some of these mutations are associated with breast cancer risk as high as those associated with rare BRCA2 mutations. We aimed to estimate the relative risks associated with specific rare variants in PALB2, CHEK2 and ATM via a multicentre case-control study. Methods We genotyped 10 rare mutations using the custom iCOGS array: PALB2 c.1592delT, c.2816T>G and c.3113G>A, CHEK2 c.349A>G, c.538C>T, c.715G>A, c.1036C>T, c.1312G>T, and c.1343T>G and ATM c.7271T>G. We assessed associations with breast cancer risk (42 671 cases and 42 164 controls), as well as prostate (22 301 cases and 22 320 controls) and ovarian (14 542 cases and 23 491 controls) cancer risk, for each variant. Results For European women, strong evidence of association with breast cancer risk was observed for PALB2 c.1592delT OR 3.44 (95% CI 1.39 to 8.52, p=7.1×10−5), PALB2 c.3113G>A OR 4.21 (95% CI 1.84 to 9.60, p=6.9×10−8) and ATM c.7271T>G OR 11.0 (95% CI 1.42 to 85.7, p=0.0012). We also found evidence of association with breast cancer risk for three variants in CHEK2, c.349A>G OR 2.26 (95% CI 1.29 to 3.95), c.1036C>T OR 5.06 (95% CI 1.09 to 23.5) and c.538C>T OR 1.33 (95% CI 1.05 to 1.67) (p≤0.017). Evidence for prostate cancer risk was observed for CHEK2 c.1343T>G OR 3.03 (95% CI 1.53 to 6.03, p=0.0006) for African men and CHEK2 c.1312G>T OR 2.21 (95% CI 1.06 to 4.63, p=0.030) for European men. No evidence of association with ovarian cancer was found for any of these variants. Conclusions This report adds to accumulating evidence that at least some variants in these genes are associated with an increased risk of breast cancer that is clinically important.
