1 A CANCER GENETICIST S (2 ND ) BEST FRIEND IS THEIR PATHOLOGIST Dr Alan Donaldson Consultant in Clinical Genetics St Michaels Hospital Bristol

2 Topics to be covered How pathology contributes to genetic diagnosis in: Lynch syndrome. Genodermatosis. Kidney cancer. Breast / ovarian cancer. Genetic testing 100,000 genomes project

3 Lynch Syndrome. Hereditary non polyposis colorectal cancer HNPCC Autosomal Dominant disorder. Due to mutations in one of the mismatch repair genes. MSH2 50% MLH1 40% MSH6 ~7% PMS2 <5% (TACSD1) ~1-2% Accounts for 1-5% of all colon cancers.

4 Amsterdam Criteria Three or more family members, one of whom is a first degree relative of the other two, with HNPCC-related cancers*. Two successive affected generations. One or more of the HNPCC-related cancers diagnosed before age 50 years. Exclusion of (FAP). * Colon, endometrial, small intestine, hepatobiliary, urinary tract.

5 Lynch Syndrome Cancer risks Lynch (Pop.) Colon 50-80% (5%) Endometrial 25-60% (2.7%) Ovary 4-12% (2%) Gastric 6-13% (<1%) Urinary Tract <4% (<1%) Small Bowel 3-6% (<1%) Sebaceous Neop 1-9% (<1%)

6 DNA Mismatch repair defect DNA repair system DNA Mutation(s) Cancer Mutagen Replication error

7 Mismatch repair function MSH6 MSH2 MSH3 HmutS HmutS TTT TTTT TTT TTTTT TTTTTTTT TTTTTTTTTTTTTT PMS1 HmutL? MLH3 PMS2 MLH1

8 Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining of the mismatch repair proteins MLH1 PMS2 MSH2 MSH6

9 Advantages / disadvantages of IHC Advantages. Cheap. Tells you what gene is involved. Disadvantages. Preoperative chemotherpay may give a false positive result. Still need to extract DNA for Braf / hypermethylation.

10 Microsatellite instability (MSI) 1.

11 Normal tissue Tumour tissue Arrows indicated additional peaks and microsatellite instability.

12 Sporadic loss of MLH % of all colorectal cancers. Associated with DNA methylation. Associated with BrafV600E in colonic tumours, but not endometrial.

13 Advantages / disadvantages of MSI Advantages. Better sensitivity & Specificity than IHC. Able to detect BRAFV600E mutations. Disadvantages. More expensive than IHC. Doesn t tell you what gene is involved.

14 Why do tumour analysis? To identify 1-5% of individuals whose colon cancer may be due to Lynch syndrome, for DNA analysis. ~15% of colon cancers are MSI high. Generally have a better outcome. Poorer response to 5 Fluorouracil?

15 Which Lynch related tumours to test? Colon Endometrial Ovary X Gastric X Small bowel? Urinary tract? Bowel polyps?

16 Who is ordering these tests? Dermatology Oncology Gynaecology Surgery? Pathology? Reflex testing Genetics

17 Lynch Syndrome NICE guidelines

18 Genodermatoses. Muir Torre Birt Hogg Dube Hereditary leiomyomatosis & renal cell cancer (HLRCC) Pten Hamartoma syndrome

19 What is Muir-Torre? Combination of sebaceous neoplasms of the skin. sebaceous adenomas sebaceous carcinomas epitheliomas Keratoacanthomas & one or more internal malignancies. Is this the same as Lynch syndrome?

20 Roberts et al 2013, Journal of Genetic Counselling 90 sebaceous neoplasms tested for loss of IHC MMR proteins 51 (7%) showed abnormal IHC 40 non MTS 11 suspected MTS 14 tested 8 had mutations (MSH2 6, MSH6 2) Positive predictive value 24% 16/90 post renal transplant patients 14/16 had loss of IHC Conclusion: IHC has poor diagnostic utuility

21 Roberts et al 2014, Genetics in Medicine Variable Score: Age at sebaceous neoplasm diagnosis (years) 60 or older 0 Younger than 60 1 Total number of sebaceous neoplasms or more 2 Personal history of any Lynch-related cancer No 0 Yes 1 Family history of any Lynch-related cancer No 0 Yes don t test 2+ test

22 Muir Torre syndrome without MSI / Loss of IHC. MutYH associated polyposis (MAP) Recessive >15 colonic polyps Upper GI polyps Other cancers e.g thyroid ( 2 of Roberts patients found to have MAP)

23 STK11 GI track Hamartomatous polyps small & large bowel Colon cancer Small bowel cancer Pancreatic cancer Breast cancer Peutz Jeghers

24 Clear cell VHL SDHB, SDHC CDKN2B FLCN Papillary SDHB, SDHC Met (type1) Fumarase (type 2) Pten Kidney cancer hybrid oncocytic renal cell carcinoma / oncocytoma / chromophobe renal cell carcinoma FLCN

25 Pten Hamartoma syndrome (Cowden, Ruvalcaba- Myhre syndrome) Skin lesions Trichilemmomas Papillomatous lesions Mucosal lesions Macrocephaly Cancer Kidney Breast Thyroid Endometrial Colon Learning difficulties Diffuse esophageal glycogenic acanthosis

26 Folliculin (FLCN) mutations. Skin Fibrofolliculomas Trichodiscomas Kidney Kidney cysts Kidney cancer Lung Cysts Pneumothorax Colon cancer? Birt Hogg Dube

27 Hereditary leiomyomatosis & renal cell cancer (HLRCC) Fumarase mutations. Skin Leiomyomas Uterus Leiomyomas Kidney Kidney cysts Type 2 papillary renal cancer.

28 BRCA1 & 2 P53 Hereditary breast cancer Li fraumeni syndrome Breast cancer triple +ve Sarcomas Leukemia / lymphomas Brain tumours CDH1 Lobular breast cancer Diffuse gastric cancer Palb2 Breast cancer Pancreatic cancer Pten STK11

29 BRCA1 & 2 are involved in repairing double stranded breaks.

30 But so are a lot of other genes.

31 % BRCA related lifetime cancer risks. BRCA1 BRCA2 Breast. Up to 80 Up to 80 Male breast. ~6 Ovary. Up to 63 Up to 27 Prostate Colon. - Gastric. - Pancreas. 3-5

32 BRCA related tumour pathology. Breast cancer: Triple negative tumours BRCA1 & BRCA2 ER negative BRCA1 Her2 negative BRCA1 Lobular unlikely BRCA1. Ovarian Cancer: Non Mucinous, usually high grade serous. Not borderline.

33 PARP (Poly ADP ribose polymerase) inhibitors.

34 3.2 billion base pairs ~23,000 genes a typical [individual] genome differs from the reference human genome at 4.1 million to 5.0 million sites (Usually ) requires a blood sample from an affected individual for analysis Genetic testing
