Abstrakt: Purpose: The BRCA2 p.K3326* variant is considered a low-penetrance variant for breast cancer. Aldehydes that accumulate in cells under insufficient aldehyde oxidation were most recently shown to trigger carcinogenesis by promoting depletion of BRCA2 protein. Allele T of the common variant rs10744777 in the ALDH2 gene was associated with reduced expression of aldehyde dehydrogenase, the main enzyme in aldehyde oxidation. We hypothesized that this allele could modify breast cancer risk in women with the BRCA2 p.K3326* low-penetrance variant through reduced function of ALDH2, increased accumulation of cellular aldehydes, and depletion of BRCA2 protein.
Materials and Methods: We genotyped 11,873 Polish women diagnosed with breast cancer and 7,615 ethnically matched controls for these two variants. Next, we extended our analysis of rs10744777 to 231 carriers of pathogenic BRCA2 mutations.
Results: BRCA2 p.K3326* variant was associated with significant increase in breast cancer risk only in those who were homozygous for the T allele of the ALDH2 rs10744777 variant (odds ratio = 1.72; 95% CI, 1.19 to 2.48; P = .003). The BRCA2 p.K3326* variant did not increase the risk of breast cancer among those who were heterozygous or homozygous for the C allele of the ALDH2 rs10744777 variant (odds ratio = 1.05; 95% CI, 0.73 to 1.51; P = .81). In the carriers of high-risk BRCA2 mutations, the TT genotype of rs10744777 conferred a modest (18%) and not significant increase in breast cancer risk.
Conclusion: Our results suggest that BRCA2 p.K3326* variant, which is low-penetrance by itself, confers increased breast cancer risk on the background of the TT genotype of the ALDH2 rs10744777 variant in the Polish population.
