Women carrying pathogenic/likely pathogenic (P/LP) variants in moderate- or high-penetrance genes have an increased risk of developing breast cancer. However, most P/LP variants associated with breast cancer risk show incomplete penetrance. Age, gender, family history, polygenic risk, lifestyle, reproductive, hormonal, and environmental factors can affect the expressivity and penetrance of the disease.

As multigene panel testing is becoming routine in clinical care, there are recommendations at national and international level, as to which genes should be analyzed in the context of a hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). However, the individual composition of gene panels offered by testing laboratories vary, resulting in a different variant diagnostic rate. Therefore, we performed a retrospective NGS dataset analysis of suspected HBOC patients who had been tested at different German diagnostic laboratories that are part of the NASGE network.

BRCA functional domains associated with high risk of multiple primary tumors and domain-related sensitivity to olaparib: the Prometheus Study.

ESMO Open

Department of Biomedicine, Neuroscience and Advanced Diagnostics (Bind.), Section of Medical Oncology, University of Palermo, Palermo, Italy.

Background: Germline pathogenic variants (gPVs) in the breast cancer susceptibility gene 1/2 (BRCA1/2) genes confer high-penetrance susceptibility to breast cancer (BC) and ovarian cancer (OC). Although most female BRCA carriers develop only a single BRCA-associated tumor in their lifetime, a smaller subpopulation is diagnosed with multiple primary tumors (MPTs). The genetic factors influencing this risk remain unclear.

Prostate cancer (PCa) ranks among the most prevalent malignancies in men, with notable associations to Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (HBOC) and Lynch Syndrome, both linked to germline likely pathogenetic variant/pathogenetic variant (LPV/PV) in genes involved in DNA repair. Among these genes, BRCA2 in PCa patients is the most frequently altered. Despite progresses, challenges in BRCA carriers detection persist, with a quarter of PCa cases lacking family history.
