    Identification of a Comprehensive Spectrum of Genetic Factors for Hereditary Breast Cancer in a Chinese Population by Next-Generation Sequencing

    <div><p>The genetic etiology of hereditary breast cancer has not been fully elucidated. Although germline mutations of high-penetrance genes such as BRCA1/2 are implicated in development of hereditary breast cancers, at least half of all breast cancer families are not linked to these genes. To identify a comprehensive spectrum of genetic factors for hereditary breast cancer in a Chinese population, we performed an analysis of germline mutations in 2,165 coding exons of 152 genes associated with hereditary cancer using next-generation sequencing (NGS) in 99 breast cancer patients from families of cancer patients regardless of cancer types. Forty-two deleterious germline mutations were identified in 21 genes of 34 patients, including 18 (18.2%) BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations, 3 (3%) TP53 mutations, 5 (5.1%) DNA mismatch repair gene mutations, 1 (1%) CDH1 mutation, 6 (6.1%) Fanconi anemia pathway gene mutations, and 9 (9.1%) mutations in other genes. Of seven patients who carried mutations in more than one gene, 4 were BRCA1/2 mutation carriers, and their average onset age was much younger than patients with only BRCA1/2 mutations. Almost all identified high-penetrance gene mutations in those families fulfill the typical phenotypes of hereditary cancer syndromes listed in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines, except two TP53 and three mismatch repair gene mutations. Furthermore, functional studies of MSH3 germline mutations confirmed the association between MSH3 mutation and tumorigenesis, and segregation analysis suggested antagonism between BRCA1 and MSH3. We also identified a lot of low-penetrance gene mutations. Although the clinical significance of those newly identified low-penetrance gene mutations has not been fully appreciated yet, these new findings do provide valuable epidemiological information for the future studies. Together, these findings highlight the importance of genetic testing based on NCCN guidelines and a multi-gene analysis using NGS may be a supplement to traditional genetic counseling.</p></div

    <p>This figure consisted of two aspects. The left column presented the overview of characteristics of the 99 probands and their families. It provided the numbers and proportions of each subgroup. The right color lumps reflected the proportions of probands with different gene mutations in each subgroup. The numbers on the right side of the color lumps represented the proportions. Proportions of probands with one gene mutation are shown in pure color squares, and proportions of probands with mutations in two or more genes are shown in two-color squares. Abbreviations and definitions are as follows: HR, hormone receptor; Her-2, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2; BC, breast cancer; HBOCS, hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome; LFS, Li-Fraumeni syndrome; LS, Lynch syndrome; FA, Fanconi anemia genes, including <i>RAD50</i>, <i>PALB2</i>, <i>FANCD2</i>, <i>FANCI</i>, <i>SLX4</i>, and <i>RAD51C</i>. <i>MMR</i>, mismatch repair genes, including <i>MLH1</i>, <i>MLH3</i>, and <i>MSH3</i>. OTHER, other genes, including <i>RGSL1</i>, <i>CDKN2A</i>, <i>SPINK1</i>, <i>TNFRSF13B</i>, <i>FGFR3</i>, <i>WRN</i>, <i>MUTYH</i>, and <i>CYP17A1</i>.</p
