Abstract:
:Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positive (HER2+) breast cancer (BC) is an aggressive BC subtype characterized by HER2 overexpression/amplification. Genomic alterations of HER2 and others have been reported to be associated with, HER2 overexpression and prediction of trastuzumab-response. Here, we aimed at identifying germline and somatic alterations associated with HER2+ BC and evaluating their association with clinical outcome in response to trastuzumab therapy given to HER2+ BC patients. Global Sequencing Array (GSA) and polymerase chain reaction-restriction length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) techniques were used to determine alterations in HER2 and other HER2-interacting as well as signaling-related genes in HER2+ BC. In addition, 20 formalin fixed paraffin-embedded tissue samples were also evaluated by GSA for identifying significant variations associated with HER + BC as well as response to trastuzumab therapy. A germline variant in HER2 (I655V) was found to be significantly associated with the risk of the disease (p < 0.01). A nonsense mutation in PTPN11 (K99X), a pathogenic CCND1 splice site variant (P241P), a hotspot missense mutation in PIK3CA (E542K) and a hotspot missense mutation in TP53 (R249S); were observed in 25%, 75%, 30% and 40% of the HER2+ BC tissue samples, respectively. Mutant CCND1 (P241P) and PIK3CA (E542K) were found to be significantly associated with reduced disease-free survival (DFS) in patients treated with trastuzumab (p: 0.018 and 0.005, respectively). These results indicate that HER2, PTPN11, CCND1 and PIK3CA genes are important biomarkers in HER2+ BC. Moreover, the patients harboring mutant CCND1 and PIK3CA exhibit a poorer clinical outcome as compared to those carrying wild-type CCND1 and PIK3CA.
