Coding sequences of BRCA1, BRCA2, ATM, TP53, and PALB2 genes were analyzed in 68 consecutive Chechen patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). Pathogenic BRCA1/2 variants were identified in 15 (22%) out of 68 HGSOC cases. Nine out of ten patients with BRCA1 pathogenic alleles carried the same deletion (c.3629_3630delAG), and three out of five BRCA2 heterozygotes had Q3299X allele. The analysis of 49 consecutive patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) revealed 3 (6%) additional BRCA1 heterozygotes. All women with BRCA1 c.3629_3630delAG allele also carried linked c.1067G>A (Q356R) single nucleotide polymorphism, indicating that this is a genuine founder variant but not a mutational hotspot. An ATM truncating allele was detected in one HGSOC patient. There were no women with TP53 or PALB2 germline alterations. Genetic analysis of non-selected HGSOC patients is an efficient tool for the identification of ethnicity-specific BRCA1/2 pathogenic variants.
对 68 例高级别浆液性卵巢癌(HGSOC)的切里琴患者进行了 BRCA1、BRCA2、ATM、TP53 和 PALB2 基因的编码序列分析。在 68 例 HGSOC 病例中,有 15 例(22%)确定存在致病性 BRCA1/2 变异体。携带 BRCA1 致病性等位基因的 10 名患者中有 9 名携带相同的缺失(c.3629_3630delAG),5 名 BRCA2 杂合子中有 3 名携带 Q3299X 等位基因。对 49 例连续的三阴性乳腺癌(TNBC)患者进行分析,发现另外 3 例(6%)存在 BRCA1 杂合子。所有携带 BRCA1 c.3629_3630delAG 等位基因的女性还携带连锁的 c.1067G>A(Q356R)单核苷酸多态性,这表明这是一个真正的创始人变体,而不是突变热点。在 1 例 HGSOC 患者中检测到 ATM 截断等位基因。没有发现 TP53 或 PALB2 种系改变的女性。对非选择性 HGSOC 患者进行基因分析是确定特定种族的 BRCA1/2 致病性变异体的有效工具。
