Germline mutations in CDH1 are infrequent in women with early-onset or familial lobular breast cancers

چکیده
BACKGROUND Germline mutations in CDH1 are associated with hereditary diffuse gastric cancer; lobular breast cancer also occurs excessively in families with such condition. METHOD To determine if CDH1 is a susceptibility gene for lobular breast cancer in women without a family history of diffuse gastric cancer, germline DNA was analysed for the presence of CDH1 mutations in 318 women with lobular breast cancer who were diagnosed before the age of 45 years or had a family history of breast cancer and were not known, or known not, to be carriers of germline mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2. Cases were ascertained through breast cancer registries and high-risk cancer genetic clinics (Breast Cancer Family Registry, the kConFab and a consortium of breast cancer genetics clinics in the United States and Spain). Additionally, Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification was performed for 134 cases to detect large deletions. RESULTS No truncating mutations and no large deletions were detected. Six non-synonymous variants were found in seven families. Four (4/318 or 1.3%) are considered to be potentially pathogenic through in vitro and in silico analysis. CONCLUSION Potentially pathogenic germline CDH1 mutations in women with early-onset or familial lobular breast cancer are at most infrequent.

Germline E-cadherin mutations in familial lobular breast cancer.
BACKGROUND The cell surface glycoprotein E-cadherin (CDH1) is a key regulator of adhesive properties in epithelial cells. Germline mutations in CDH1 are well established as the defects underlying hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC) syndrome, and an increased risk of lobular breast cancer (LBC) has been described in HDGC kindreds. However, germline CDH1 mutations have not been described in ...
متن کاملMinor role of BRCA2 mutation (Exon2 and Exon11) in patients with early-onset breast cancer amongst Iranian Azeri-Turkish women
Objective(s): Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. Every year, one million new cases are reported worldwide, representing 18% of the total number of cancer in women. Hereditary BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations account for about 60% of inherited breast cancer and are the only known causes of hereditary breast cancer syndrome. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of BRCA2 (e...
متن کاملSequence-based detection of mutations in cadherin 1 to determine the prevalence of germline mutations in patients with invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast
BACKGROUND Loss of cadherin 1 (CDH1) expression, which is normally involved in cell adhesion and maintenance of tissue architecture, is a hallmark of invasive lobular carcinoma (ILCA). Because hereditary cancers may require different risk reduction, counseling and treatment options than sporadic cancer, it is critical to determine the prevalence of germline CDH1 mutations in patients with ILCA....
متن کاملE-cadherin germline missense mutations in diffuse gastric cancer
Abstract Introduction Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer is an autosomal inherited syndrome associated with the E-cadherin germline mutations. Different types of CDH1 germline mutations have been reported; the missense alterations are rarely identified when compared with truncating mutations. The identification of missense mutation represents a clinical burden, since its pathogenicity is still u...
متن کاملGenetic aetiology of diffuse gastric cancer: so near, yet so far.
H ereditary diffuse gastric cancer (MIM#137215) is an autosomal dominant disease in which gastric cancer develops at a young age. The first report in the medical literature describing familial clustering of gastric cancer was that of Aldred Warthin in 1913, although this family (‘‘family G’’) was subsequently shown to have hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). Further reports of f...
