目的:研究家族性和早发性乳腺癌BRCA1基因突变情况。方法:选取52例来自不同家系家族性和早发性乳腺癌患者,提取外周血基因组DNA,对BRCA1基因的全部编码序列及外显子与内含子的拼接区进行PCR基因扩增,扩增产物经变性高效液相色谱分析(DHPLC)除筛后,对发现异常的片断进行DNA直接测序证实。结果:在52例家族性和早发性乳腺癌患者中发现4例(7.7%)BRCA1致病性突变(2257C〉G,2229delAA,3413delT),其中BRCA1的2229delAA在两个不同的家系重复出现。3413delT突变未在BreastCancerInformationCore(BIC)数据库和相关的文献报道过。家族性乳腺癌突变率为12%(3/25);单纯早发性乳腺癌突变率为3.7%(1/27)。结论:BRCA1突变在山东东部地区家族性乳腺癌的发病中发挥重要作用,对具有家族史的乳腺癌家系进行BRCA1基因突变筛查具有重要意义。
Objective: To study the BRCA1 mutations in Chinese patients with early-onset breast cancer and in affected relatives. Methods: Fifty-two familial and/or early-onset breast cancer patients from unrelated family were analyzed. Genomic DNA was collected from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and the coding sequences and exon-intron boundaries of BRCA1 genes were screened by using denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC). Then the abnormal fragments were confirmed with direct DNA sequencing. Results: Three kinds of mutations in BRCA1 gene from four unrelated families were identified. They are 2257C〉G, 2229delAA, 3413delT and 2229delAA found in two unrelated families. 3413delT is a novel mutation that doesn't exist in Breast Cancer Information Core (BIC) database and was not reported before. Moreover, three mutations (12%) were identified in familial breast cancer patients, and one mutation (3.7%) in the early-onset breast cancer patients. Conclusions: BRCA1 may play an important role in the familial breast cancer in this population. It is necessary to give genetic test for familial breast cancer patients in this population.
