2 DISCLOSURE n No real or apparent financial relationship to disclose related to the topic of this activity.

3 Genetic Testing Predictive of Prostate Cancer Risk. NEJM - Feb 28, 2008

4 Genetic Testing Predictive of Prostate Cancer Risk. n Risk Ratio s of 16 tested SNPs were between 1.07 and 1.65 n If one adds family history, age and five of five selected at-risk SNP s the RR is This applied to 1.4% of the population. Comment by Edward P. Gelmann, NEJM - Feb 28, 2008

5 Genetic Testing Predictive of Prostate Cancer Risk. n If a positive family history and 4 of 5 SNPs are positive then the RR is 4.5. n This applied to 5.4% of the men with prostate cancer and 2.2% of the controls. n No association was found with cancer aggressiveness. Comment by Edward P. Gelmann, NEJM - Feb 28, 2008

6 There is a well known genetic basis for normal tissue radiosensitivity. American Journal of Diseases of Children (1968) 116: 392

7 Radiation Mechanism 1.)Physical Interaction n Radiation ionizes molecules in human cells. DNA has been known for some time to be the primary target.

8 Radiation Mechanism 2.) Biological Interaction n It is biologically and physically predictable. (there is a target and a measurable dose-volume effect) n Specialty Techniques and Outcomes should be reproducible from one facility to the next. n Regardless unpredictable side effect do manifest.

9 The Number and Type of Ionizing Radiation Induced Lesions in DNA per Gray/per Cell! TYPE OF LESION NUMBER /Gy /diploid cell double strand break single strand break base damage sugar damage DNA-DNA crosslinks DNA-protein crosslinks

10 Our Molecular DNA Repair Mechanisms are Extremely Effective and Efficient Though Not Always Successful. DNA DAMAGE RESPONSE ACCURATE REPAIR MIS-REPAIR FAILED REPAIR SURVIVAL GENETIC MUTATION DEATH DYSFUNCTION

11 There are two approaches to finding candidate genes in order predict sideeffects prior to radiotherapy 1. Theoretical. 2. Practical. Shiloh Y. ATM and related protein kinases: safeguarding genome integrity. Nat Rev Cancer Mar;3(3):

12 At Mount Sinai we have taken a practical approach.

13 Many candidate genes have been described. TGFB1 multifunctional cytokine causes fibrosis SOD2 encodes important anti-oxidant enzyme XRCC3 homologous recombination of DSB XRCC1 single strand break recombination

14 A connection was made between mutations in the ATM gene and prostate radiotherapy side effects in There was an overrepresentation of diabetes in the sequenced population. Cancer J Sc Am (1998) 4:

15 We have used Prostate Brachytherapy as a model for developing a predictive test for side effect incidence.

16 Prostate Brachytherapy as a Model 1.) Very high doses. 2.) Variable patient dosimetry. 3.) Toxicity does happen. 4.) Multiple toxicities can be measured. 5.) Patients live to have late effects. 6.) Toxicities have clinical meaning. 7.) There are few local failures.

17 Pilot study was positive in 37 patients. International J Radiation Oncol Bio Phys (2005) 61:

18 A validation study has been completed in 108 patients. n 108 patients n Age (median) 64 (range 48-79) n Stage T1c 59% T2a-20% T2b-15% n Gleason 5-5% 6-81% 7-12% n PSA % % % n Diabetes, Type II 6/108 6% n Smoking, any 37/108 34% Cesaretti JA, Stock RG, Atencio DP, et al.

44 Conclusions n Multiple SNPS can affect normal tissues response to radiation. n GWAS studies and high powered statistical modeling allow the identification of those SNPS n Further studies with greater number of patients will hopefully allow the creation of predicitve models to screen patients for specific radiation side effects
