Carriers of pathogenic variants in both BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes as a double mutation (BRCA1/2 DM) have been rarely reported in women with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).
We reviewed the English literature and interrogated three repositories reporting EOC patients carrying BRCA1/2 DM. The clinicopathological parameters of 36 EOC patients carrying germline BRCA1/2 DM were compared to high-grade serous EOC women of the COEUR cohort with known germline BRCA1/BRCA2 mutation carrier status (n = 376 non-carriers, n = 65 BRCA1 and n = 38 BRCA2). Clinicopathological parameters evaluated were age at diagnosis, stage of disease, loss of heterozygosity, type of mutation, immunohistochemistry profile, progression occurrence and survival.
Median age at diagnosis of BRCA1/2 DM patients was 51.9 years, similar to BRCA1 mutation carriers (49.7 years, p = .58) and younger than BRCA2 mutation carriers (58.1 years, p = .02). Most patients were diagnosed at advanced stage (III-IV; 82%) and were carriers of founder/frequent mutations (69%). Tissue immunostainings revealed no progesterone receptor expression and low intraepithelial inflammation. The 5-year survival rate (60%) was significantly lower than that of BRCA2 mutation carriers (76%, p = .03) but not of BRCA1 mutation carriers (51%, p = .37).
Our data suggests some co-dominant effect of both mutations but the outcome of these patients more closely resembled that of BRCA1 mutation carriers with poor prognosis factors.
BRCA1 和 BRCA2 基因致病变异携带者(双突变,BRCA1/2 DM)在患有上皮性卵巢癌(EOC)的女性中很少见。
我们查阅了英文文献,并对三个报告携带 BRCA1/2 DM 的 EOC 患者的数据库进行了查询。将 36 例携带种系 BRCA1/2 DM 的 EOC 患者的临床病理参数与 COEUR 队列中已知种系 BRCA1/BRCA2 突变携带者状态的高级别浆液性 EOC 女性(无携带者 376 例,BRCA1 携带者 65 例,BRCA2 携带者 38 例)进行比较。评估的临床病理参数包括诊断时的年龄、疾病分期、杂合性丢失、突变类型、免疫组织化学特征、进展发生和生存。
BRCA1/2 DM 患者的中位诊断年龄为 51.9 岁,与 BRCA1 突变携带者(49.7 岁,p=0.58)相似,且比 BRCA2 突变携带者年轻(58.1 岁,p=0.02)。大多数患者诊断为晚期(III-IV 期;82%),并携带常见/频发突变(69%)。组织免疫染色显示孕激素受体表达缺失和上皮内炎症程度低。5 年生存率(60%)明显低于 BRCA2 突变携带者(76%,p=0.03),但与 BRCA1 突变携带者(51%,p=0.37)无差异。
我们的数据表明,这两种突变存在一定的共显性效应,但这些患者的预后与 BRCA1 突变携带者相似,具有不良预后因素。
