Common Breast Cancer Susceptibility Alleles and the Risk of Breast Cancer for BRCA1 and BRCA2 Mutation Carriers: Implications for Risk Prediction

Abstract: The known breast cancer (BC) susceptibility polymorphisms in FGFR2, TNRC9/TOX3, MAP3K1,LSP1 and 2q35 confer increased risks of BC for BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation carriers. We evaluated the associations of three additional SNPs, rs4973768 in SLC4A7/NEK10, rs6504950 in STXBP4/COX11 and rs10941679 at 5p12 and reanalyzed the previous associations using additional carriers in a sample of 12,525 BRCA1 and 7,409 BRCA2 carriers. Additionally, we investigated potential interactions between SNPs and assessed the implication… Show more

“…The association patterns in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers follow closely the associations in the general population once stratified by tumour ER status [41]. However, it is yet unclear how the SNPs are associated with ER-positive or ER-negative breast cancer for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers.…”

“…Taken together with the already observed differences in the risk of developing breast cancer by the known SNP profiles [41], they suggest that as more modifiers of risk are identified, much greater improvements in profiling of mutation carriers can be achieved. However, in the context of genetic counselling, it is important to consider how the associations of the already identified SNPs vary with family history of breast or ovarian cancer.…”

“…19,20 Only 125 individuals from 78 families (mean 1.6, range 1-6 family members) were available for consideration in this study and there may be some inflation of risks associated with the analysis of multiple members from the same family due to shared environmental factors or other genetic susceptibilities. However, there were no large families that skewed the allele frequencies.…”

“…Therefore, mutations that occur in DNA repair genes are strongly related with excessive cancer risks in human. Although great advancement has been made in the association studies of polymorphisms in repair genes and breast (Antoniou et al, 2010), colorectal ) and lung cancer (López-Cima et al, 2007), however, the research focus on liver cancer was infrequently published. Codon 399 in XRCC1 was investigated among Taiwanese population (Yu et al, 2003), and both positive association and dose-dependent relationship for early-onset HCC were observed.…”
