Abstract
Abstract Background The identification of individuals at elevated risk for hereditary cancers has allowed the development of consensus recommendations for cancer screening and prevention. The introduction of multigene panels may identify more individuals with breast cancer gene mutations than does testing for BRCA1/2 alone. Therefore, the multigenerational panel increase the need for genetic counseling suggesting preventive approach or cancer-specific screening to patients and family members. The rapid clinical introduction of multigene panel testing, however, have several issues such as low- to moderate-risk gene mutations and clinical recommendations. We collect the mutation results and clinical recommendations after testing with multigene panel and giving genetic counseling. Methods We had developed multigene panel consisted of 64 genes related to hereditary cancer through previous study and prospectively enrolled 104 individuals who were appropriate candidates for hereditary breast cancer evaluation. The patients were tested with 64-gene panel(Celemics) and results were provided by us 4˜10 weeks later. We checked the family history of cancer and made a pedigree before testing. Result Among 104 participants, 26 patients harbored deleterious mutations, most commonly in high to moderate-risk breast/ovarian cancer genes (BRCA1/2, BRIP, RAD51 and RAD51D), Lynch syndrome gene(MSH6) and other genes(FH, SPINK1). We recommended the cancer-specific screening and/or preventive approach for mutation-positive patients and suggested additional genetic test for the family members. Among them, 6 (23%) patients received Risk reducing procedures (Prophylactic mastectomy or oophorectomy) and most of them(19 patients(73%)) received cancer specific screening. Conclusion We demonstrate the use of multigene panel testing for hereditary breast cancer and will suggest the process of the genetic counseling including indication and results analysis with multigene panel testing.
