Pathogenic BRCA1 mutations are usually inherited. Constitutional low-level BRCA1 mosaicism has never been reported.
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) of cancer gene panel of germline and tumour DNA in a patient with early onset, triple-negative breast cancer.
Constitutional de novo mosaicism (5%) for a pathogenic (c.1953dupG; p.Lys652Glufs*21) BRCA1mutation was detected in leukocytes, buccal tissue and normal breast tissue DNA, with ∼50% mutation in tumorous breast tissue.
This is the first reported case of low-level, multiple tissue, constitutional mosaicism in BRCA1, and highlights the need to consider deep sequencing in affected individuals clinically suspected of having cancer predisposition whose tumours display a BRCA mutation.
致病性BRCA1突变通常是遗传性的。从未报道过先天性低水平BRCA1嵌合体。
对一名早发性三阴性乳腺癌患者的生殖系和肿瘤DNA进行癌症基因panel的二代测序(NGS)。
在白细胞、颊黏膜组织和正常乳腺组织DNA中检测到致病性(c.1953dupG;p.Lys652Glufs*21)BRCA1突变的先天性新发嵌合体(5%),肿瘤性乳腺组织中约有50%的突变。
这是首次报道的BRCA1低水平、多组织、先天性嵌合体病例,并强调对于临床上怀疑有癌症易感性且其肿瘤显示BRCA突变的个体,需要考虑进行深度测序。
