Full textO cancro da mama é o tipo de neoplasia maligna mais incidente nas mulheres a nível mundial. Na maior parte dos casos tem origem esporádica, mas estima-se que cerca de 7% tem origem hereditária, relacionada com a herança genética de alguma mutação patogénica em genes de suscetibilidade para este cancro. A causa mais frequente de cancro hereditário da mama/ovário é a alteração de um dos genes BRCA (BRCA1 ou BRCA2). De fato as mutações germinativas destes genes são responsáveis por cerca de 50% dos casos de cancro hereditário da mama e/ou ovário. São ainda poucos os dados referentes ao perfil de mutações destes genes na população portuguesa, para além da descrição de uma mutação fundadora no gene BRCA2. Pretendeu-se com o presente estudo caracterizar, numa amostra de doentes portugueses com suspeita de cancro hereditário da mama/ovário, as mutações destes dois genes, avaliando os diferentes tipos de mutações encontradas, a prevalência de mutações comprovadamente patogénicas e, nomeadamente da mutação fundadora portuguesa. Pretendeu-se também testar o algoritmo de cálculo BRCAPro® no auxílio ao recrutamento para estudo genético de pacientes com suspeita de HBOC. Dos 121 casos estudados por DGGE/sequenciação direta/MLPA, foram detetados 42 casos (34,7%) com alterações num dos BRCA’s (excluindo polimorfismos), correspondendo a 42-45 alelos mutados. No entanto, apenas 8,3% dos casos continham mutações comprovadamente patogénicas, representando a mutação fundadora portuguesa 40% das mesmas. Comparativamente a outros estudos na população portuguesa, a prevalência de mutações patogénicas no nosso estudo foi inferior, com uma sobrerepresentação da mutação fundadora, o que poderá ser explicado por diferentes critérios de referenciação e/ou composição das amostras estudadas. O algoritmo BRCAPro® revelou-se útil como instrumento de cálculo de probabilidade de mutação patogénica nos genes BRCA1 e BRCA2, embora não permita substituir o critério médico na de seleção de pacientes para estudo genético destes genes.
Breast cancer is the type most common malignant neoplasm in women worldwide. In most cases arises sporadically, but it is estimated that about 7% have a hereditary origin, related to the genetic inheritance of some pathogenic mutation in susceptibility genes for this cancer. The most frequent cause of hereditary breast/ovarian cancer is an alteration in one of the two BRCA genes, the BRCA1 and BRCA2. Germline mutations in these two genes are responsible for about 50% of cases with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. Currently, few data is available referring to the mutation profile in the Portuguese population, besides the identification of a founder mutation in the BRCA2 gene. It was intended with this study to characterize, in a sample constituted of patients with suspicion of hereditary breast/cancer, mutations of these two genes, evaluating the different types of mutations found, the prevalence of pathogenic mutations, particularly the Portuguese founder mutation. It was also intended to test the algorithm BRCAPro®, in the aid of recruitment of patients for genetic testing with suspected HBOC. Of the 121 cases studied by DGGE/direct sequencing/MLPA, we detected 42 cases (34,7%) containing alterations in one of the BRCA genes (excluding polymorphisms), corresponding to 42-45 mutated alleles. After analysis, only 8.3% of the cases had deleterious mutations, with the founder Portuguese mutation representing 40% of those. Comparing to other studies in the Portuguese population, the prevalence of pathogenic mutations found in this study was smaller, with an overexpression of the Portuguese founder mutation. That can be explained by the use of different clinical criteria in the recruitment of patients for genetic study and/or differences in the composition of the cohort of cases. The BRCAPro® algorithm as proved useful as a tool for the calculation of mutation probability in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, although it doesn’t allow to substitute the medical criteria in the selection of patients for genetic study in this two genes.

Sabe-se que os genes p53, BRCA1 e BRCA2 apresentam a característica em comum de serem considerados supressores tumorais. Eventos genéticos e epigenéticos são frequentes ao longo de todo o genoma humano. Mutações somáticas são passíveis de ocorrer nas regiões codificantes de genes específicos, alterando sua sequência e gerando proteínas mutantes, as quais resultam numa alteração de sua capacidade funcional ou até mesmo a perda dela. Este trabalho objetivou avaliar alterações epigenéticas nas regiões promotoras dos genes BRCA1 e BRCA2 através da técnica de PCR para Metilação Específica (MSP) e correlacionar mutações pontuais nos exons 4 e 7 do gene p53 como fator de risco para o carcinoma ductal invasivo (CDI) de mama na população feminina do Recife atendida no Hospital das Clínicas (HCUFPE). Cinquenta biópsias de mama diagnosticadas com CDI fixadas em formalina e embebidas em parafina foram obtidas do Setor de Anatomia Patológica do HC-PE e cinco amostras de tecido mamário de mulheres submetidas à mastectomia estética foram usadas como controle normal. O DNA das amostras foram extraídos e, então, amplificados por MSP. Para avaliação do perfil mutacional utilizou-se a técnica de PCR-RFLP (Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism) com as enzimas BstUI e HaeIII para verificação dos polimorfismos nos exons 4 e 7, respectivamente. A frequência no padrão de metilação para o gene BRCA2 foi de 46,9% enquanto a frequência de mutações pontuais nos códons 72 (exon 4) e 249 (exon 7) do gene p53 foram de 91,8% e 8,1%, respectivamente. Para o BRCA1 os resultados obtidos foram inconsistentes quanto ao seu padrão de metilação. Os resultados mostraram que o polimorfismo do códon 72 apresentou-se estatisticamente significante para metástase podendo ser utilizado como um potencial biomarcador auxiliar no diagnóstico de carcinoma ductal invasivo de mama humana.

Introduction: Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in the world, and the most common among women, only 5% to 10% are hereditary and half of them are caused by hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) , caused by variations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. Objectives: The present study aimed to identify the prevalence of deletions and duplications in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes in breast cancer patients in Goiás, Brazil. Materials and methods: We evaluated 46 breast cancer patients who met National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) criteria for HBOC syndrome screening. A 4 ml blood sample was collected for DNA extraction using commercial kit and the MLPA (Multiplex Ligation Dependent Probe Amplification) technique was performed using the SALSA MLPA P002 BRCA1 and SALSA MLPA P045 BRCA2 / CHECK2 kits. Results and discussion: The majority of the patients were female (97.83%) and the mean age of the patients was 37.52 years. In this group, 43.47% of the patients were younger than 35 years at the time of diagnosis and 35% of them were diagnosed with triple negative tumors. The most common molecular subtype was luminal A (46.2%) followed by triple negative tumors (28.20%). No patient was found with rearrangements in BRCA1. In the BRCA2 gene, one patient (2.12%) presented a false positive result for the heterozygous deletion of exon 27, which may have been caused by the presence of a small change in the probe binding region. Conclusion: This was the first study performed to analyze large deletions and duplications in patients from the central-western region of Brazil. We can conclude that the frequency of large deletions and duplications in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes in the Goian population is low.
Introdução: O câncer de mama é o segundo tipo de câncer mais freqüente no mundo, e o mais comum entre as mulheres, apenas 5% a 10% são hereditários e metade deles são causados pela síndrome do câncer de mama e ovário hereditário (HBOC), causada por variações nos genes BRCA1 e BRCA2. Objetivos: O presente estudo teve como objetivo identificar a prevalência de deleções e duplicações nos genes BRCA1 e BRCA2 em pacientes com câncer de mama no estado de Goiás, Brasil. Materiais e métodos: Avaliamos 46 pacientes com câncer de mama que atenderam aos critérios do National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) para pesquisa da síndrome HBOC. Foi coletada uma amostra de sangue de 4 ml para extração de DNA usando kit comercial e a técnica MLPA (Multiplex Ligation Dependent Probe Amplification) foi realizada usando os kits SALSA MLPA P002 BRCA1 e SALSA MLPA P045 BRCA2 / CHECK2. Resultados e discussão: A maioria dos pacientes era do sexo feminino (97.83%) e a idade média dos pacientes era de 37,52 anos. Neste grupo 43.47% dos pacientes possuíam idade inferior a 35 anos no momento do diagnóstico sendo que 35% destes foram diagnosticados com tumores triplo negativo. O subtipo molecular mais comum foi o luminal A (46.2%) seguido de tumores triplo negativos (28.20%). Nenhum paciente foi encontrado com rearranjos no gene BRCA1. No gene BRCA2, um paciente (2,12%) apresentou um resultado falso positivo para a deleção em heterozigoze do éxon 27, fato que pode ter sido ocasionado pela presença de uma pequena alteração na região de ligação da sonda. Conclusão: Este foi o primeiro estudo realizado para análise de grandes deleções e duplicações em pacientes da região centro-oeste do Brasil. Podemos concluir que a frequência de grandes deleções e duplicações nos genes BRCA1 e BRCA2 na população goiana é baixa.

Full textIntroduction: Mutation in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are responsible for more than 50% of hereditarian breast and ovarian cancer cases. Nowadays, we still dont know the Brazilian mutation profile for these genes, except when founder mutations occur in specific ethnic groups. Objetives: Detection of mutation and polymorphisms in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes in 73 breast cancer patients selected for genetic testing. Casuistic and methods: we have realized direct sequencing of BRCA1 and BRCA2 in 73 patients, whose 63 have had breast cancer and showed at least 10% of risk according to Frank, Evans and BRCAPRO, two patients with ovarian cancer and eight healthy individuals of strong family history of cancer linked to mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2. Results: We have found 60 mutations in BRCA1: 13 missense mutations (including the deleterious R71G), seven synonymous mutations, one frameshift mutation (the deleterious 5382insC), one nonsense mutation (the deleterious R1751X), one in-frame deletion, one 3UTR mutation and 36 intronic variants. In BRCA2 we have found 57 mutations: 26 missense mutations, one 5UTR mutation, 11 synonymous mutations, 14 intronic variants, two nonsense mutations (the deleterious R2318X and R3128X) and three frameshift mutations (5844del5, 6610insTT and 6633del5). No mutation was detected by MLPA technique. Discussion and final considerations: Nine of 73 studied individuals carry deleterious mutations. Among them, the Ashkenazi founder mutation 5382insC has been found in two unrelated patients and it was previously reported by another research group for its high prevalence on a population from São Paulo. Alterations of unknown clinical significance have been found all over BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene extension and are countless. Some of them are shown only in one patient, leading us to think that maybe one or a few might have a pathogenic effect, like 6610insTT, which leads to a BRCA2 incomplete protein and was shown in 3 generations of a family. MLPA technique have not detected large genomic rearrangements in both genes, showing that this kind of mutation is not frequent on our cohort and maybe this genetic alteration characterizes less miscigenated populations. So, we emphasize the importance of enlarge this study and stimulate future researches, aiming an efficient genetic counseling, decreasing inconclusive cases generated by unknown clinical significance variants, and follow up of affected families

Full textThere is an increased risk of developing breast- or ovarian cancer if a woman carries the deleterious mutation in BReastCAncer gene1 or BReastCAncer gene2. The woman faces severe decisions that will affect her health over time. The aim of this literature review was to investigate how women experience living with a genetic mutation in BReastCAncer gene1 or BReastCAncer gene2. After a systematic literature search, 15 results were found, in which two categories were identified with associated subcategories, uncertainty: fear of cancer and changed body perception, and manageability: thoughts about the future, support and acceptance. By carrying the genetic mutation women find themselves in a life-threatening condition where their increased risk of cancer creates uncertainty. The decisions are complex, which increases the information needs of the women. It was found that the information was considered to be insufficient. In this process it of great importance that the nurse sees the woman behind the genetic mutation and applies person-centered nursing. Further research on women's experience is required, since the needs were not considered to be met. This would provide better conditions for nurses to offer a person-centered care.

Full textApproximately up to 5 %-10% of all cases of breast and ovarian cancers exhibit a familial pattern of incidence. During the 90s, reserchers discovered that this familial predisposition was caused by germline mutations in two tumor suppressor genes called BReast CAncer susceptibility gene 1 and 2, or BRCA1 and BRCA2. Mutations in these genes are associated with a dominant autosomic genetic predisposition at high penetrance. It is now widely accepted that individuals, that inherit a germline mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2, have a significantly increased lifetime risk of developing breast or/and ovarian cancer. Our study aims to evaluate the presence of germline mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 both in patients with breast and / or ovarian cancer both in their relatives. In the study, candidates identification was based on familial history and on the results provided by computer programs such as BRCAPRO and Manchester Scoring System. The approach used was based on BRCA1 and BRCA2 sequence screening by direct sequencing methods, while the study of large gene rearrangements was carried out by MLPA (Multiplex Ligation Probe Amplification). To date, 741 patients were selected, 692 were women and 49 were men, with a mean age of onset disease of 44 years (range 16-84). BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutational analysis was completed on 725 patients. 191 mutations have been totally identified, 52 of which in BRCA1: - 19 frameshift, 17 missense, 3 nonsense, 2 splice site mutations, 7 intronic variants and 4 gene rearrangements; and 57 in BRCA2: II - 21 frameshift, 4 nonsense, 20 missense, 5 silent, intronic variants 5 and 2 in the splice site. Then the study was extended to 256 healthy subjects, relatives of analyzed patients. The analysis was completed on 181 subjects. A total of 77 mutations have been found: 22 in BRCA1 and 17 in BRCA2. The collected data confirm the possibility of detect predisposing mutations in high risk patients. Individuals carrying the mutation, will benefit from a prevention program.

Full textGermline mutations in major breast cancer susceptibility genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 are responsible for the disease for high-risk patients (patients with early onset and familial history of breast cancer). Around 15% of screened women for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations carry one clearly pathogenic mutation in one of those two genes. However, variants of uncertain clinical significance (VUS) are detected in 5% to 15% of tested patients. To assess clinical significance of VUS, the Breast cancer Information Core (BIC) has developed a Bayesian integrated model, based on observational data. Align-GVGD, an algorithm evaluating damage of missense substitutions based on the evolutionary history of the protein, is providing the prior probability of the model. However, whenever a silent substitution arise, it is firstly treated as neutral by the in silico assessment. Indeed, a mutation at the mRNA level can disrupt the splicing machinery by two main means: damaging wild-type splice sites, or creating exonic de novo splice sites. Our first goal is to be a central repository of already published variants, to re-analyze them using the unified integrated evaluation model. We would like to extract the most variants from the original published status of VUS to a more informative status, with associated clinical recommendations. Then we would like to extend the model to be able to evaluate more variants more precisely by adding the splicing damages assessment in the integrated evaluation. In the end, we will be able to provide these informations freely on Internet, via a widely use web interface, a Leiden Open Variation Database (LOVD)

Full textThe potential risk of cancer induced by radiation mammography is a major public health issue, medical and scientific interest. The purpose of this study was to quantify the double-strand break (DSB) DNA in exact terms of mammographic radiation. This quantification was performed on untransformed mammary epithelial cells from ultrasound-guided biopsies in healthy tissue using fluorescent protein phosphorylated histone H2AX (γH2AX) before, 10 min and 24 h after irradiation. Two patient populations were included in the study : 19 with no family history of breast cancer and/or ovarian cancer (low risk, LR) and 11 high-risk identified by the geneticist with or without mutation (high risk, HR). Indeed, mutated tumor suppressor genes (BRCA1, BRCA2, CHK2, ATM, p53, PTEN) are also involved in signaling and/or repair of DSBs. Spontaneously, patients showed significantly higher HR of DSBs that spontaneous LR. Three major radiobiological effects were highlighted : 1) A dose low effect, higher in HR; 2) A significant increase in the number of γH2AX foci from 10 min to 24 h after irradiation; 3) An effect of repeated doses more pronounced in HR. These findings should lead to re-evaluate mammographics procedures in screnning in populations where the benefit in term of mortality has not been proved, as women with high familial risk, in the age of group of 40-49 years, and in women treated with chest radiation for childhood, adolescent, or young adult cancer. A single mammographic view could be indicated. Further works assessing the possible carcinogenesis effects of mammographic irradiations will be necessary
