Hereditary cancer syndromes Flashcards
How many ovarian cancers are attributed to genetic mutations?
30%
What chromosomes are BRCA mutations on?
BRCA1- 17q21
BRCA2- 13q12-13
What kind of gene is BRCA?
tumor suppressor gene, 80% of patients have a frameshift mutation, which causes a defect in double stranded DNA repair and E3 ubiquitination
How is BRCA inherited?
Autosomal dominant
What is the lifetime risk of HGSTOC for BRCA?
BRCA1- 25-40%
BRCA2- 18-27%
Penetrance ranges from 41-90%
What is the risk of a BRCA mutation in the ashkenazi jewish population?
1/40, compared to general population risk of (BRCA1- 1/300, BRCA2 1/800)
When is BSO recommended for BRCA patients?
BRCA1- 35-40yo
BRCA2- 40-45yo or when childbearing is complete
How many patients have fallopian tube cancer found at time of RR-BSO?
2-17%
How much is the risk reduction with rr-BSO?
> 80%, but still risk of primary peritoneal cancer due to an unrecognized STIC (2-4.3%)
How much do OCPs reduce risk of HGSTOC for BRCA patients?
60% risk reduction if taken for at least 6 years
How much is breast cancer risk reduced with BSO in BRCA patients?
BRCA1- 56%
BRCA2-46%
What is SEE-FIM pathological protocol for RR-BSO
examined at 5 micrometer sections per 2mm thick tissue block; an occult STIC may measure 1mm or less
What is the lag time from diagnosis of STIC to invasive disease?
4 years
Which genes are considered high penentrance?
BRCA1, BRCA2, CDH1, PALB2, PTEN, TP53
EOC genetic testing criteria
-Personal hx of EOC at any age
-A FamHx of EOC: only needed if first or second degree relative had EOC at any age
-Family member with a probability of >5% of a BRCA1/2pv based on probability models
