Abstract A44: The identification of germline mutations in DNA repair genes in Brazilian individuals at-risk for hereditary breast cancer
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Hereditary breast cancer corresponds to 10-15% of all diagnosed cases of breast cancer in the world. The majority germline mutations are identified in BRCA1/2 genes, however the application of multigene panels has increased the number of pathogenic variations detected in DNA repair genes. According to the current version of NCCN Guideline, mutations in BRCA1/2, TP53 and PTEN confers high risk to develop breast cancer, and mutations in CDH1, CHEK2, PALB2, ATM and BRIP can increases over than 20% this risk. We analyzed 157 individuals from Northeastern region of Brazil with personal and/or familial breast cancer history. Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood through saline-based extraction and samples were analyzed using next-generation sequencing (NGS). We identified 15 pathogenic variants and 4 VUS (Variants of Uncertain Significance) in 27 individuals (27/157; 17%), in which three are asymptomatic. Six novel variants in 4 genes were identified: BRCA1_c.3409A>G; BRCA2_c.5800C>T; BRCA2_c.5228G>A; BRCA2_c.5305delG; ATM_c.634delT and ATR_c.3043C>T. Sixty-eight percent (13/19; 68%) of variants was detected in BRCA1/2 genes, while 32% (6/19) were identified in moderate risk genes ATM (2/19); ATR (1/19); CDH1 (1/19); MLH1 (1/19) and MSH6 (1/19). The individuals were separated in two groups for comparative analysis: high-risk genes and moderate risk genes. Among three asymptomatic individuals, two present variants in moderate risk genes ATM and MLH1. Among breast cancer individuals, eighteen patients (18/24; 75%) presents mutations in high-risk genes, while six (6/24; 25%) harbors mutations in moderate risk genes. Both groups had a high incidence of early-onset breast cancer, 83%. The group of individuals harboring variants in high-risk genes presented a greater occurrence of high-grade tumors (83% vs. 67%, P= 0.0090). In the group of individuals harboring mutation in moderate risk genes, tumors presented a more aggressive phenotype with bilateral cancer (33% vs. 11%, P= 0.0002), occurrence of metastasis (33% vs. 5.6%, P<0.0001) and incidence of deaths (33% vs. 5.6%, P<0.0001). Altogether, 1/3 of variants were identified in moderate risk genes in patients presenting a more aggressive phenotype. These results reinforce the importance of applying multigene analysis in individuals at-risk for breast cancer, especially in a heterogeneous population as Brazilian.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
