Popis: PURPOSEThere are deficient data on prevalence of germline mutations in breast cancer susceptibility genes 1 and 2 (BRCA1/BRCA2) in Indian patients with ovarian cancer who are not selected by clinical features.METHODSThis prospective, cross-sectional, noninterventional study in nine Indian centers included patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer. The primary objective was to assess the prevalence of BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations, and the secondary objective was to correlate BRCA1/BRCA2 status with clinicopathologic characteristics. Mutation testing was performed by a standard next-generation sequencing assay.RESULTSBetween March 2018 and December 2018, 239 patients with a median age of 53.0 (range, 23.0-86.0 years) years were included, of whom 203 (84.9%) had newly diagnosed disease, 36 (15.1%) had family history of ovarian or breast cancer, and 159 (66.5%) had serous subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer. Germline pathogenic or likely pathogenic mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 were detected in 37 (15.5%; 95% CI, 11.1 to 20.7) and 14 (5.9%; 95% CI, 3.2 to 9.6) patients, respectively, whereas variants of uncertain significance in these genes were seen in four (1.7%; 95% CI, 0.5 to 4.2) and six (2.5%; 95% CI, 0.9 to 5.4) patients, respectively. The prevalence of pathogenic or likely pathogenic BRCA mutations in patients with serous versus nonserous tumors, with versus without relevant family history, and ≤ 50 years versus > 50 years, were 40 of 159 (25.2%; 95% CI, 18.6 to 32.6) versus 11 of 80 (13.8%; 95% CI, 7.1 to 23.3; P = .0636), 20 of 36 (55.6%; 95% CI, 38.1 to 72.1) versus 41 of 203 (20.2%; 95% CI, 14.9 to 26.4; P < .0001), and 20 of 90 (22.2%; 95% CI, 14.1 to 32.2) versus 31 of 149 (20.8%; 95% CI, 14.6 to 28.2; P = .7956), respectively.CONCLUSIONThere is a high prevalence of pathogenic or likely pathogenic germline BRCA mutations in Indian patients with ovarian cancer.
