Abstract 3175
Background
PALB2 is a well-known gene for hereditary breast cancer (BC). However, PALB2-driven BCs are less studied as compared to BRCA1/2-related malignancies, due to rarity of PALB2 deleterious alleles.
Methods
PALB2 germ-line mutation analysis was performed using blood-derived DNA.
Results
Sequencing of the entire coding region of PALB2 gene in 190 BC patients, who had evident clinical features of hereditary disease, but lacked BRCA1/2 germ-line mutations, led to the identification of 5 PALB2 mutation carriers. In addition, we considered 4 PALB2 heterozygotes, which were identified in our earlier study [Sokolenko et al., 2015]. The mutation spectrum was represented by 7 distinct pathogenic alleles (с.1317delG, c.172-175delTTGT, c.509-510delGA, R414X (n = 2), Q921X, c.1592delT and Y1055X (n = 2)). These 7 mutations were further screened in 1126 consecutive BC cases. This analysis revealed 8 additional instances of PALB2 mutations (c.509-510delGA (n = 5), c.172-175delTTGT (n = 2), c.1592delT (n = 1)). None of the above mutations was detected in 638 elderly tumor-free controls. Among 18 patients with PALB2-related BC, only 8 women were younger than 50 years; 6 patients reported family history of BC disease and 4 suffered from bilateral BC. IHC data were available for 10 tumors: 1 case was triple-negative, 1 BC demonstrated HER2 activation coupled with negative staining for hormone receptors (HR), and the remaining 8 cases were HR+. Loss-of-heterozygosity (LOH) analysis of 8 chemonaive BCs revealed somatic deletion of the remaining PALB2 allele in 5 tumors and retention of heterozygosity in 3 cases. In addition, we analysed 2 residual BC samples obtained after neoadjuvant therapy and revealed the intact PALB2 wild-type allele in both cases.
Conclusions
PALB2 germ-line mutations contribute to a fraction of BC morbidity in Russia, with PALB2 c.509-510delGA allele being the most frequent pathogenic variant. Interpatient variability with regard to somatic inactivation of the wild-type PALB2 allele deserves attention, given that intratumoral PALB2 status is likely to influence the drug sensitivity of BC.
