Investigation of germline variants in Bahraini women with breast cancer using next-generation sequencing based-multigene panel

Germline variants in BRCA1 and BRCA2 (BRCA1/2) genes are the most common cause of hereditary breast cancer. However, a significant number of cases are not linked to these two genes and additional high-, moderate- and low-penetrance genes have been identified in breast cancer. The advent of next-gene...

description Germline variants in BRCA1 and BRCA2 (BRCA1/2) genes are the most common cause of hereditary breast cancer. However, a significant number of cases are not linked to these two genes and additional high-, moderate- and low-penetrance genes have been identified in breast cancer. The advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) allowed simultaneous sequencing of multiple cancer-susceptibility genes and prompted research in this field. So far, cancer-predisposition genes other than BRCA1/2 have not been studied in the population of Bahrain. We performed a targeted NGS using a multi-panel covering 180 genes associated with cancer predisposition to investigate the spectrum and frequency of germline variants in 54 women with a positive personal and/or family history of breast cancer. Sequencing analysis revealed germline variants in 29 (53.7%) patients. Five pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants in four DNA repair pathway-related genes were identified in five unrelated patients (9.3%). Two BRCA1 variants, namely the missense variant c.287A>G (p.Asp96Gly) and the truncating variant c.1066C>T (p.Gln356Ter), were detected in two patients (3.7%). Three variants in non-BRCA1/2 genes were detected in three patients (1.85% each) with a strong family history of breast cancer. These included a monoallelic missense variant c.1187G>A (p.Gly396Asp) in MUTYH gene, and two truncating variants namely c.3343C>T (p.Arg1115Ter) in MLH3 gene and c.1826G>A (p.Trp609Ter) in PMS1 gene. Other variants of uncertain significance (VUS) were also detected, and some of them were found together with the deleterious variants. In this first application of NGS-based multigene testing in Bahraini women with breast cancer, we show that multigene testing can yield additional genomic information on low-penetrance genes, although the clinical significance of these genes has not been fully appreciated yet. Our findings also provide valuable epidemiological information for future studies and highlight the importance of genetic testing, and an NGS-based multigene analysis may be applied supplementary to traditional genetic counseling.

However, a significant number of cases are not linked to these two genes and additional high-, moderate- and low-penetrance genes have been identified in breast cancer. The advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) allowed simultaneous sequencing of multiple cancer-susceptibility genes and prompted research in this field. So far, cancer-predisposition genes other than BRCA1/2 have not been studied in the population of Bahrain. We performed a targeted NGS using a multi-panel covering 180 genes associated with cancer predisposition to investigate the spectrum and frequency of germline variants in 54 women with a positive personal and/or family history of breast cancer. Sequencing analysis revealed germline variants in 29 (53.7%) patients. Five pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants in four DNA repair pathway-related genes were identified in five unrelated patients (9.3%). Two BRCA1 variants, namely the missense variant c.287A&gt;G (p.Asp96Gly) and the truncating variant c.1066C&gt;T (p.Gln356Ter), were detected in two patients (3.7%). Three variants in non-BRCA1/2 genes were detected in three patients (1.85% each) with a strong family history of breast cancer. These included a monoallelic missense variant c.1187G&gt;A (p.Gly396Asp) in MUTYH gene, and two truncating variants namely c.3343C&gt;T (p.Arg1115Ter) in MLH3 gene and c.1826G&gt;A (p.Trp609Ter) in PMS1 gene. Other variants of uncertain significance (VUS) were also detected, and some of them were found together with the deleterious variants. In this first application of NGS-based multigene testing in Bahraini women with breast cancer, we show that multigene testing can yield additional genomic information on low-penetrance genes, although the clinical significance of these genes has not been fully appreciated yet. Our findings also provide valuable epidemiological information for future studies and highlight the importance of genetic testing, and an NGS-based multigene analysis may be applied supplementary to traditional genetic counseling.</abstract><cop>San Francisco</cop><pub>Public Library of Science</pub><doi>10.1371/journal.pone.0291015</doi><tpages>e0291015</tpages><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8397-3689</orcidid><oa>free_for_read</oa></addata></record>
