Up to 20% of familial cases are attributable to pathogenic mutations in high-penetrance (BReast CAncer gene 1 [BRCA1], BRCA2, tumor protein p53 [TP53], partner and localizer of breast cancer 2 [PALB2]) or moderate-penetrance (checkpoint kinase 2 [CHEK2], Ataxia-telangiectasia mutated [ATM], RAD51C, RAD51D) breast-cancer-predisposing genes. Most of the breast-cancer-predisposing genes are involved in DNA damage repair via homologous recombination pathways. Understanding these pathways can facilitate the development of risk-reducing and therapeutic strategies. The number of breast cancer patients undergoing testing for pathogenic mutations in these genes is rapidly increasing due to various factors. Advances in multigene panel testing have led to increased detection of pathogenic mutation carriers at high risk for developing breast cancer and contralateral breast cancer. However, the lack of long-term clinical outcome data and incomplete understanding of variants, particularly for moderate-risk genes limits clinical application. In this review, we have summarized the key functions, risks, and prognosis of breast-cancer-predisposing genes listed in the National Health Service (NHS) England National Genomic Test Directory for inherited breast cancer and provide an update on current management implications including surgery, radiotherapy, systemic treatments, and post-treatment surveillance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10403,"journal":{"name":"Clinical oncology","volume":"38 ","pages":"Article 103631"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142145311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
