Abstract
Objective
Hereditary cancer syndromes constitute 5–10% of all cancers. The development of next-generation sequencing technologies has made it possible to examine many hereditary cancer syndrome-causing genes in a single panel. This study's goal was to describe the prevalence and the variant spectrum using NGS in individuals who were thought to have a hereditary predisposition for cancer.
Material and method
Analysis was performed for 1254 who were thought to have a familial predisposition for cancer. We excluded 46 patients who were carrying BRCA1/2 variants in this study, for focusing on the rare gene mutations. Sequencing was performed using the Sophia Hereditary Cancer Solution v1.1 Panel and the Qiagen Large Hereditary Cancer Panel. The Illumina MiSeq system was used for the sequencing procedure. The software used for the data analyses was Sophia DDM and QIAGEN Clinical Insight (QCITM) Analyze. The resulting genomic changes were classified according to the current guidelines of ACMG/AMP.
Results
Pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants were detected in 172 (13.7%) of 1254 patients. After excluding the 46 BRCA1/2-positive patients, among the remaining 126 patients; there were 60 (4.8%) breast cancer, 33 (2.6%) colorectal cancer, 9 (0.7%) ovarian cancer, 5 (0.4%) endometrium cancer, 5 (0.4%) stomach cancer, 3 (0.2%) prostate cancer patients. The most altered genes were MUTYH in 27 (2.1%) patients, MMR genes (MLH1, MSH6, MSH, MSH2, PMS2 and EPCAM) in 26 (2%) patients, and ATM in 25 (2%) patients. We also examined the genotype-phenotype correlation in rare variants. Additionally, we identified 11 novel variations.
Conclusion
This study provided significant information regarding rare variants observed in the Turkish population because it was carried out with a large patient group. Personalized treatment options and genetic counseling for the patients are therefore made facilitated.
期刊介绍:
Mutation Research (MR) provides a platform for publishing all aspects of DNA mutations and epimutations, from basic evolutionary aspects to translational applications in genetic and epigenetic diagnostics and therapy. Mutations are defined as all possible alterations in DNA sequence and sequence organization, from point mutations to genome structural variation, chromosomal aberrations and aneuploidy. Epimutations are defined as alterations in the epigenome, i.e., changes in DNA methylation, histone modification and small regulatory RNAs.
MR publishes articles in the following areas:
Of special interest are basic mechanisms through which DNA damage and mutations impact development and differentiation, stem cell biology and cell fate in general, including various forms of cell death and cellular senescence.
The study of genome instability in human molecular epidemiology and in relation to complex phenotypes, such as human disease, is considered a growing area of importance.
Mechanisms of (epi)mutation induction, for example, during DNA repair, replication or recombination; novel methods of (epi)mutation detection, with a focus on ultra-high-throughput sequencing.
Landscape of somatic mutations and epimutations in cancer and aging.
Role of de novo mutations in human disease and aging; mutations in population genomics.
Interactions between mutations and epimutations.
The role of epimutations in chromatin structure and function.
Mitochondrial DNA mutations and their consequences in terms of human disease and aging.
Novel ways to generate mutations and epimutations in cell lines and animal models.
