2 Risks Related to Breast Cancer Advancing Age! Early Menarche! Lack of Exercise! Alcohol! Overweight! Hormone! Replacement! Therapy! Gender! Late Menopause! Diet! Benign Breast Disease! Close Relative! Age at First Birth! Genetics! Education & Income! Ionizing Radiation!???! Genetics! Passive Smoke! Chemicals -Work -Home -Garden -Recreation

3 Timeline of Important Events in DNA Patenting (Top) and the Discovery and Use of Genes Conferring Susceptibility to Breast and Ovarian Cancer (Bottom) June U.S. Supreme Court rules that as nature, genes cannot be patented Kesselheim A and Mello M. N Engl J Med 2010; /NEJMp

4 BRCA1- and BRCA2-Associated Cancers: Lifetime Risk Breast cancer 50%-85% (often early age at onset) Second primary breast cancer 40%-60% Ovarian cancer 15%-45% Absolute risk likely to be higher than 10% - Prostate cancer Absolute risk 10% or lower - Male breast cancer - Fallopian tube cancer - Pancreatic cancer

5 BRCA1 and BRCA2 On chromosomes 17 and 13, respectively Autosomal dominant transmission Proteins have a role in genomic stability >2,000 different mutations, polymorphisms, and variants distributed over both genes BRCA1 Nonsense Missense Splice-site Breast Cancer Information Core

7 Inherited Genomic Rearrangements of BRCA1 and BRCA2 35/300 (12%) sequence negative high risk families Other: CHEK2 n=14 (5%) TP53 n=3 (1%) Walsh et al, JAMA 295: , 2006

8 k Comprehensive genetic testing includes full sequencing of BRCA1/BRCA2 and detection of large genomic rearrangements.

9 Influence of BRCA1 Genotype on Histopathology in Breast Cancer (BC) Less likely to express estrogen receptor or Her2/neu Have a high nuclear grade Show less tubule formation Have a higher mitotic count Medullary histology more common (~ 6%) More BRCA1 mutations in triple negative DCIS is less associated with BRCA1 than BRCA2 BRCA testing may be appropriate for triple negative BC or early onset DCIS, especially if family history of BC and/or OC Eisinger et al.

42 Cancer Screening & Prevention Program Breast and Ovarian Cancer Screening and Prevention Key advances and evidence for advice: There are advances in protocols for screening (MRI), risk reduction (RRSO, RRM), and targeted treatment Warner et al, 2004; Kriege et al, 2004; Rebbeck et al, 2002, Kauff et al, 2002; Weitzel et al, 2007 GCRA influences surgical decisions in a risk-appropriate way and should be considered for women with newly diagnosed early stage breast cancer and suspicion of BRCA gene mutation Timing of GCRA in the sequence of events in cancer diagnosis and treatment is dependent on both patient and provider variables and limitations Weitzel et al, 2003; Schwartz et al, 2004, 2005.

43 Cancer Screening & Prevention Program Breast and Ovarian Cancer Screening and Prevention Key advances and evidence for advice: BRCA testing for early onset DCIS, and for single cases of BC <50 years if limited family structure; <60 if triple negative Claus et al, 2005; Kandel et al, 2006; Weitzel et al, 2007 Large rearrangements account for a significant proportion of high risk families without sequence detected BRCA mutations Walsh et al, 2006; Weitzel et al, 2007; MGL 2012 Documented efficacy of interventions for BRCA mutation carriers drives medical necessity and liability issues, making GCRA a standard of care GCRA along with risk reduction interventions are cost-effective tools for increasing quality-adjusted life

44 Cancer Screening & Prevention Program Hereditary Cancer Risk Assessment and Management There is clearly a potential to benefit carefully selected and counseled families, with ever broader arrays of genetic tools PALB2 is among the first rare variant genes to acquire adequate data for absolute risk estimation Genetic technologic advances are changing diagnostic approaches Surveillance and prevention can improve survival in at-risk individuals Protocols will need to be adapted to lower risk
