X-Chromosome loss of heterozygosity (LOH) occurs in approximately 40% of ovarian cancers. We have previously demonstrated an association between nonrandom X-chromosome inactivation and germline BRCA1 mutation. The current study examines the association between X-chromosome LOH and BRCA1 mutation.
Ninety tumor DNA (81 ovary, 5 fallopian tube, 4 primary peritoneal) and matched peripheral blood mononuclear cell DNA samples were examined for LOH with 11 X-chromosome microsatellite DNA markers.
Tumor DNA demonstrated frequent LOH at the Xp22.2-3 region (37.7% at DXS6807). Loss of heterozygosity on Xp was twice as common in tumor DNA from germline BRCA1 mutation carriers (9/14 vs 19/67, P = 0.02). In four evaluable samples, Xp22.2-3 LOH preferentially occurred from the active X allele.
Our data support the hypothesis that an Xp22.2-3 gene product interacts with or modifies the expression of BRCA1 in some hereditary ovarian cancers.
X染色体杂合性缺失(LOH)发生于约40%的卵巢癌中。我们之前已证实非随机X染色体失活与种系BRCA1突变之间存在关联。本研究检测X染色体LOH与BRCA1突变之间的关联。
采用11个X染色体微卫星DNA标记,对90份肿瘤DNA(81份卵巢、5份输卵管、4份原发性腹膜)及匹配的外周血单个核细胞DNA样本进行LOH检测。
肿瘤DNA在Xp22.2 - 3区域显示出频繁的LOH(DXS6807处为37.7%)。种系BRCA1突变携带者的肿瘤DNA中Xp杂合性缺失的发生率是其他肿瘤DNA的两倍(9/14 vs 19/67,P = 0.02)。在4份可评估样本中,Xp22.2 - 3 LOH优先发生于活性X等位基因。
我们的数据支持这样的假说,即在某些遗传性卵巢癌中,Xp22.2 - 3基因产物与BRCA1相互作用或修饰其表达。
