Abstract Background The data on prevalence and clinical relevance of TP53 germline mutations in early onset Middle-Eastern breast cancer (BC) is limited. Methods We determined TP53 germline mutations in a cohort of 464 early onset BC patients from Saudi Arabia using capture sequencing based next generation sequencing. Results Germline TP53 pathogenic mutations were found in 1.5% (7/464) of early onset Saudi BC patients. A total of six pathogenic missense mutations, one stop gain mutation and two variants of uncertain significance (VUS) were detected in our cohort. No TP53 pathogenic mutations were detected among 463 healthy controls. TP53 mutations carriers were significantly more likely to have bilateral breast cancer (p = 0.0008). At median follow-up of 41 months, TP53 mutations were an unfavorable factor for overall survival in univariate analysis. All the patients carrying TP53 mutations were negative for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations. Majority of patients (85.7%; 6/7) carrying TP53 mutation had no family history suggestive of Li-Fraumeni Syndrome (LFS) or personal history of multiple LFS related tumors. Only one patient had a positive family history suggestive of LFS. Conclusions TP53 germline mutation screening detects a clinically meaningful risk of early onset BC from this ethnicity and should be considered in all early onset BC regardless of the family history of cancer, especially in young patients that are negative for BRCA mutations.

30 Background: Worldwide, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. Susceptibility is thought to be polygenic and the risk tends to increase in women with positive family history of breast cancer. Methods: We proposed an ambitious Middle Eastern-based study that entailed exome sequencing of approximately 50 women from the Middle East (M.E) with moderate family history of any cancer. DNA from tumor samples with matching lymphocytes from the same subjects and 50 normal Middle Eastern women without history of familial or sporadic cancers in the family, were subjected to whole-exome sequencing on the HiSeq 1000/2000 Illumina platforms to map major breast cancer–activating genetic defects. Results: Several unique to the M.E region and novel germline mutations in non-BRCA1/2 genes were identified in this cohort. Germline mutations in TP-53, BARD1 and mismatch repair genes were more frequent than expected by chance. More importantly, the breast cancers showed interesting copy number and mutations variants that may aid our understanding of breast cancer initiations. Conclusions: The M.E. breat cancer may be caused by a unique set of germline variants and that the M.E breast cancers may represent an entity that may aid in our understanding of this common disease.

Abstract Background Germline TP53 mutations are associated with Li-Fraumeni syndrome, a severe and rare hereditary cancer syndrome. Despite the rarity of germline TP53 mutations, the clinical implication for mutation carriers and their families is significant. The risk management of TP53 germline mutation carriers is more stringent than BRCA carriers, and radiotherapy should be avoided when possible. Methods TP53 gene mutation screening was performed in 2538 Chinese breast cancer patients who tested negative for BRCA mutations. Results Twenty TP53 mutations were identified with high next-generation sequencing concerning for germline mutations in Chinese breast cancer families. The majorities of the TP53 carriers had early-onset, hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, and had strong family history of cancer. Among all, 11 patients carried a germline mutation and 6 of which were likely de novo germline mutations. In addition, 1 case was suspected to be induced by chemotherapy or radiation, as this patient had no significant family history of cancer and aberrant clonal expansion can commonly include TP53 mutations. Furthermore, we have identified one mosaic LFS case. Two novel mutations (c.524_547dup and c.529_546del) were identified in patients with early-onset. Conclusions In view of the high lifetime risk of malignancy, identification of patients with germline TP53 mutations are important for clinicians to aid in accurate risk assessment and offer surveillance for patients and their families.

Abstract Background To date, the contribution of BRCA1/2 mutations in Moroccan early onset breast cancer patients remains unknown. Here we assess these genetic alterations for the first time in a cohort from North of Morocco. Methods Thirty-three patients diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of ≤40 years were recruited irrespective of breast and/or ovarian cancer family history. Coding regions and intron-exon boundaries of BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes were sequenced from peripheral blood DNA using Ion Proton (Thermo Fisher Scientific) next generation sequencing platform. Results Overall, five BRCA germline mutations were identified (15.1%). The frequency of mutations among patients with family history of breast cancer was 16.7%. Three mutations were found in BRCA1 (9%) and two within the BRCA2 gene (6%). These are three frameshift mutations (c.798_799del, c.2125_2126insA, c.5116_5119delAATA), one missense (c.116G > A) and one nonsense mutation (c.289G > T). The mutation c.5116_5119delAATA has a founder effect in North Africa. Moreover, one variant of unknown significance was identified in BRCA2 (c.4090A > G). Most BRCA mutations carriers (80%) had no family history of breast cancer. Conclusion Our data do not support the hypothesis that BRCA mutations alone explain the higher frequency of breast cancer in Moroccan young women. The young age (≤40 years) for breast cancer diagnosis seems to be strongly predictive of BRCA mutation status in Moroccan patients. These results will help in decision making with regard to genetic counseling and testing in the national scale.

20 Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women of Middle Eastern origin. Epidemiologically, breast cancer in the Middle East clusters in families and usually affects women a decade younger than Western women. This dilemma is compounded by the lack of curated databases and ambitious studies that address the roles genetic or genomic may play in breast cancer. Methods: We have exome sequenced 60 Middle Eastern women with moderate and strong family history of cancer or young women without significant family history of cancer. DNA extracted from peripheral blood of patients and matching normal Middle Eastern women without history of familial or sporadic cancers, were subjected to whole-exome sequencing using the HiSeq 2500 Illumina platform and MLPA to map major breast cancer–activating genetic defects. Results: Several novel BRCA1/2 mutations were identified in the minority of these women. However, other complex mutations in non-BRCA1/2 genes appear to play a more subtle role in breast cancer in the Middle Eastern women. Germline mutations in TP-53, BARD1 and mismatch repair genes were more frequent than expected by chance. Conclusions: BRCA1/2 gene mutations are not a significant cause of heritable cancers in the Middle East. The region may benefit from a well-curated region-specific database accessible to clinicians and scientists where clinical and variants information can be deposited from all over the Middle East.

11042 Background: Invasive lobular breast carcinoma (LBC) is part of the hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC) syndrome, associated with germline mutations in the E-cadherin (CDH1) gene. CDH1 mutations can be identified in 80% of families ascertained by DGC. The risk of DGC in CDH1 mutation carriers is 67% in males, and 83% in females; the estimated risk of LBC in women is 39–50% to age 80. Management of HDGC includes prophylactic gastrectomy. In this study, we estimated the prevalence of germline CDH1mutations among women with LBC who were either diagnosed at young age or had family history of breast cancer (BC). Methods: Germline DNA was collected from 383 women with LBC or mixed, lobular/ductal, BC from breast cancer programs, familial cancer clinics, and population-based cohorts. Germline BRCA1or BRCA2mutations carriers were excluded. Eligible women had (1) LBC before age 45 or (2) LBC at any age with at least two 1st or 2nd degree relatives with BC of any type. Denaturing high pressure liquid chromatography was undertaken, followed by direct sequencing of exons displaying changes. Results: At the time of submission 310 of 383 samples have been fully sequenced. One previously characterized missense mutation and four novel non-synonymous variants (1.6%) were found. Three of these women had LBC before 45 years and no family history of BC; two had BC family history. No gastric cancers were reported in these families. Functional assays to assess the pathogenicity of the variants are in process. Conclusions: These results confirm that CDH1 is responsible for a small proportion of familial and early onset LBC. Given the difficulty of identifying CDH1 mutations from BC history alone and the importance of managing the gastric cancer risk in CDH1carriers, these findings should underscore the need to obtain an accurate abdominal cancer family history from women with LBC. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Purpose To estimate the risk of breast cancer in a woman who has a CHEK2 mutation depending on her family history of breast cancer. Patients and Methods Seven thousand four hundred ninety-four BRCA1 mutation–negative patients with breast cancer and 4,346 control women were genotyped for four founder mutations in CHEK2 (del5395, IVS2+1G>A, 1100delC, and I157T). Results A truncating mutation (IVS2+1G>A, 1100delC, or del5395) was present in 227 patients (3.0%) and in 37 female controls (0.8%; odds ratio [OR], 3.6; 95% CI, 2.6 to 5.1). The OR was higher for women with a first- or second-degree relative with breast cancer (OR, 5.0; 95% CI, 3.3 to 7.6) than for women with no family history (OR, 3.3; 95% CI, 2.3 to 4.7). If both a first- and second-degree relative were affected with breast cancer, the OR was 7.3 (95% CI, 3.2 to 16.8). Assuming a baseline risk of 6%, we estimate the lifetime risks for carriers of CHEK2 truncating mutations to be 20% for a woman with no affected relative, 28% for a woman with one second-degree relative affected, 34% for a woman with one first-degree relative affected, and 44% for a woman with both a first- and second-degree relative affected. Conclusion CHEK2 mutation screening detects a clinically meaningful risk of breast cancer and should be considered in all women with a family history of breast cancer. Women with a truncating mutation in CHEK2 and a positive family history of breast cancer have a lifetime risk of breast cancer of greater than 25% and are candidates for magnetic resonance imaging screening and for tamoxifen chemoprevention.

Background: CDH1 encodes the cell-cell adhesion molecule, E-cadherin, for which loss of expression facilitates the infiltrative and metastatic potential of cancers. Germline mutations in CDH1 are associated with hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC), and in this setting female carriers have been estimated to have a 39-50% risk of lobular breast cancer (LBC) by age 80 years. Aim: To determine the frequency of CDH1 germline mutations inindividuals with early-onset LBC or those with LBC and a family history of multiple breast cancers but no gastric cancers. Methods: Germline DNA analysis of CDH1 in women with LBC, for whom germline BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations have been excluded, who have been (1) diagnosed before the age of 45 years or (2) diagnosed at any age and have a family history of breast cancer. Results: Analysis of 194 LBC cases has thus far revealed two novel missense mutations predicted to affect protein function. Functional assays to assess their pathogenicity along with germline analyses of the remaining 200 cases are currently underway. Several unreported silent changes have also been identified and will be measured in a case- control sample to assess whether they are associated with LBC risk. Conclusion: Germline CDH1 mutations may cause a small proportion of familial and early onset LBC.

Objective: To describe and illustrate elements of a group counselling approach designed to enhance the communication of risk information on breast cancer (BC) to women with a family history of this disease. Breast cancer is a leading cause of female cancer death. The most important risk factor for BC is a positive family history in at least 1 first-degree relative, and approximately one-third of women with BC have a family history of the disease. Recent evidence suggests that there is a significant psychological impact associated with having a family history of BC, and this may influence the psychological adjustment and response to being counselled for personal risk. New counselling approaches are required. Method: This paper describes a group therapy approach that incorporates principles of supportive-expressive therapy designed to address the emotional impact of being at risk for BC and to promote accuracy of perceived risk. The key elements of the intervention are described along with clinical illustrations from groups that are part of an ongoing study to develop and standardize the group therapy. Conclusion: Qualitative data from the groups suggest that this model of therapy is both feasible and effective.

Introduction: Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is associated with increased risk of several systemic diseases and some environmental factors, however, controversies exist. Since AGA and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) share common pathogenesis and AGA manifests some decades before BPH onset, it may serve as an early marker of BPH.Objective: This study was conducted to know AGA and its association with BPH in men ≥20 years of age.Materials and Methods: Clinically diagnosed cases of AGA (n=176) and 117 age matched healthy controls were enrolled. All cases and controls were subjected for abdomino-pelvic ultrasonography, urinary flowmetry, fasting lipid profiles, glycemic index and body mass index. International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) was also assessed.Results: Among 176 patients, 120 (68.18%) had Hamilton-Norwood grade III AGA and 56 (31.82%) had grade IV-VII AGA. In both groups, 140 (79.55%) cases and 93 (79.49%) controls were aged <35 years respectively. Family history of AGA was present in 108 (61.36%) cases and 2 (1.71%) controls. This observation was statistically significant with OR= 89.61 (95%CI 23.67-339.29). Three (1.7%) cases and none of the controls had prostate volume >30ml. Seventeen(9.66%) cases and 4 (3.42%) controls were graded as moderately/severely symptomatic IPSS. Statistically significant association was seen between family history and early onset of hair loss (<35 years) in a male sibling or parent.Conclusion: Although positive family history was associated with early onset of AGA, no association between AGA and BPH could be elicited in our study.
