Abstract:
PURPOSE:Aim of the present study was to identify the genetic heterogeneity, prevalence and frequency of germline mutations of BRCA2 gene in Hereditary Breast/Ovarian cancer patients from Kerala, South India. METHODS:We analyzed 102 Breast/Ovarian cancer patients from 96 breast and/ovarian cancer families for BRCA2 gene mutations using Conformation-Sensitive Gel Electrophoresis (CSGE) followed by sequencing. RESULTS:Sequence variations in BRCA2 gene were detected in 27 (26.4%) patients. Sixteen distinct sequence variants were detected of which 11 were (69%) in exon 11. We have identified two novel disease-causing frameshift mutations (c.4642delAA and c.4926insGACC) in two unrelated patients. Apart from this, fourteen distinct sequence variants were detected in 25 breast/ovarian cancer patients of which 8 (57%) were also novel. These include nine missense mutations, one silent mutation, one-nonsense mutation and three intronic variants. CONCLUSIONS:The results of this study suggest that germline mutations of BRCA2 gene account for rather small proportion of Hereditary Breast/Ovarian cancer in Kerala, South India.
