Abstract
The 5-10% of breast cancers (BC) are hereditary, and BRCA1/2 are causative in 25% of those inherited. It was aimed to examine the BRCA1/2 genotype-BC phenotype relationship. In 170 female patients with BC, BRCA1/2 genes were investigated using Next Generation Sequencing. Demographic and clinicopathological characteristics of the patients and correlations of pedigree analysis with BRCA1/2 mutation status were analysed. BRCA1/2 carriage was found to be 9.4%. When the patients were grouped as ≤ 40 and > 40 according to the age at diagnosis of BC, the tumour grade was higher in the ≤ 40 groups. In the study, BRCA1/2 carriage and tumour grade were higher in patients with triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC). The risk of TNBC was 5.560 times higher in BRCA1/2 carriers than in non-carriers. There is a significant relationship between BRCA1/2 carrier and BC hormone receptor negativity, tumour grade, and BC diagnosis age.
期刊介绍:
Polish Journal of Pathology is an official magazine of the Polish Association of Pathologists and the Polish Branch of the International Academy of Pathology. For the last 18 years of its presence on the market it has published more than 360 original papers and scientific reports, often quoted in reviewed foreign magazines. A new extended Scientific Board of the quarterly magazine comprises people with recognised achievements in pathomorphology and biology, including molecular biology and cytogenetics, as well as clinical oncology. Polish scientists who are working abroad and are international authorities have also been invited. Apart from presenting scientific reports, the magazine will also play a didactic and training role.
