BRCA1 4153delA founder mutation in Russian ovarian cancer patients

Abstract: The BRCA1 4153delA allele is frequently referred to as the Russian founder mutation, as it was initially detected in several cancer families from Moscow. Our earlier studies have demonstrated 1% occurrence of BRCA1 4153delA heterozygosity in familial and/or early-onset and/or bilateral Russian breast cancer (BC) patients. Since literature data suggest that the 4153delA variant is more associated with ovarian cancer (OC) than with BC, we expected to reveal a highly elevated frequency of this genotype in Russian… Show more

“…For high risk families of this origin, the rates of the predominant mutations in BRCA1 in the present study are 1.1% (C61G) and 0.7% (4153delA). These data are in line with data reported on non Jewish high risk families from Russia [16] Poland [14,15] and the Baltic republics [17,18]. Thus, for these unique non Jewish high risk families, these two mutations should be offered in the course of oncogenetics counseling and testing in Israel, prior to offering full mutational analysis of both genes.…”

“…A sizeable portion of these immigrants (estimated at 50%) are of Russian non Jewish origin. Two recurring mutations in BRCA1 in Russian and Baltic region high risk families have been reported: 5382InsC and 4153delA in BRCA1 [14][15][16][17][18]. In addition, the C61G is a mutation frequently detected in non Jewish Polish high risk families [14,15] and rarely in non Ashkenazi Jews [19].…”

“…The most frequently observed is BRCA1 c.4035delA mutation, which is more frequent in families of Baltic (Lithuanian) origin rather than Slavic [ 53 , 54 , 161 ], and was detected in 16.3% (7/43) of unrelated ovarian cancer patients unselected for family history in one study [ 159 ]. Among BRCA1 positive patients in a single population, this particular mutation has the highest proportion identified to date (53%), where in neighbouring countries (Latvia, Poland, Belarus and Russia) it accounts for around 40% [Tihomirova, personal communication], 10% [ 40 ], 9% [ 49 ] and 9% [ 41 ] respectively of all BRCA1 mutations.…”

“…The BRCA1 4153delA frequency in Russian patients, however, is an order of magnitude lower than that of the BRCA1 5382insC mutation, which complicates the study of the BRCA1 4153delA epidemiology. Polish scientists had reported on the preferential association of BRCA1 4153delA with OC [ 14 , 32 ]; however, their observations could not be confirmed in later studies [ 21 ].…”
