JCO Glob Oncol 2024; 10:e2300454. [PMID: 38905575 DOI: 10.1200/go.23.00454] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2023] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/23/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Genetic variants of ovarian cancer (OV) show ethnic differences, but data from the Chinese population are still insufficient. Here, we elucidate the inheritance landscape in Chinese patients with OV and examine the functional implications of a Chinese-enriched RAD51D variant. METHODS Between 2015 and 2018, 373 consecutive patients with OV were prospectively enrolled. Variants of BRCA1/2, other homologous recombination repair (HRR) genes, and DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes were analyzed using next-generation sequencing. An enriched RAD51D variant was identified, and its functional effects were examined using Cell Counting Kit-8, colony formation, transwell migration, and drug sensitivity assays. RESULTS Overall, 31.1% (116/373) of patients had at least one pathogenic or likely pathogenic germline variant. BRCA1 and BRCA2 accounted for 16.09% and 5.36%, respectively, with one patient having both variants. In addition, 32 (8.58%) patients carried other HRR gene variants, whereas three (0.8%) patients had MMR gene variants. The RAD51D variant ranked third (8/373, 2.1%), and its rate was much higher than that in other populations. Remarkably, all eight patients harbored the RAD51D K91fs variant (c.270_271dup, p.Lys91Ilefs*13) and demonstrated satisfactory platinum response and favorable prognosis. This variant confers enhanced sensitivity to poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors in OV cells. However, the effects on platinum sensitivity were inconsistent across different cell lines. Against the background of the TP53 variant, RAD51D K91fs variant showed increased sensitivity to cisplatin. CONCLUSION Our study revealed the inheritance landscape of OV and identified an enriched RAD51D variant in Chinese patients with OV. This can serve as an important reference for OV management and a potential therapeutic target.

Germline findings in cancer predisposing genes from a small cohort of chordoma patients. J Cancer Res Clin Oncol 2024; 150:227. [PMID: 38700789 PMCID: PMC11068663 DOI: 10.1007/s00432-024-05706-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2024] [Accepted: 03/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chordoma is a rare slow-growing tumor that occurs along the length of the spinal axis and arises from primitive notochordal remnants (Stepanek et al., Am J Med Genet 75:335-336, 1998). Most chordomas are sporadic, but a small percentage of cases are due to hereditary cancer syndromes (HCS) such as tuberous sclerosis 1 and 2 (TSC1/2), or constitutional variants in the gene encoding brachyury T (TBXT) (Pillay et al., Nat Genet 44:1185-1187, 2012; Yang et al., Nat Genet 41:1176-1178, 2009). PURPOSE The genetic susceptibility of these tumors is not well understood; there are only a small number of studies that have performed germline genetic testing in this population. METHODS We performed germline genetic in chordoma patients using genomic DNA extracted by blood or saliva. CONCLUSION We report here a chordoma cohort of 24 families with newly found germline genetic mutations in cancer predisposing genes. We discuss implications for genetic counseling, clinical management, and universal germline genetic testing for cancer patients with solid tumors.

Spectrum and Frequency of Germline FANCM Protein-Truncating Variants in 44,803 European Female Breast Cancer Cases. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:3313.

Abstract
FANCM germline protein truncating variants (PTVs) are moderate-risk factors for ER-negative breast cancer. We previously described the spectrum of FANCM PTVs in 114 European breast cancer cases. In the present, larger cohort, we report the spectrum and frequency of four common and 62 rare FANCM PTVs found in 274 carriers detected among 44,803 breast cancer cases. We confirmed that p.Gln1701* was the most common PTV in Northern Europe with lower frequencies in Southern Europe. In contrast, p.Gly1906Alafs*12 was the most common PTV in Southern Europe with decreasing frequencies in Central and Northern Europe. We verified that p.Arg658* was prevalent in Central Europe and had highest frequencies in Eastern Europe. We also confirmed that the fourth most common PTV, p.Gln498Thrfs*7, might be a founder variant from Lithuania. Based on the frequency distribution of the carriers of rare PTVs, we showed that the FANCM PTVs spectra in Southwestern and Central Europe were much more heterogeneous than those from Northeastern Europe. These findings will inform the development of more efficient FANCM genetic testing strategies for breast cancer cases from specific European populations.
