✦ Synopsis

Germline mutation analysis of BRCA1 gene has demonstrated significant allelic heterogeneity. These differences represent historical influences of migration, population structure and geographic or cultural isolation. To date, there have been no reports of Indian families with mutations in BRCA1. We have screened for mutations in selected coding exons of BRCA1 and their flanking intron regions in three breast or breast and ovarian cancer families with family history of three or more cases of breast cancer under age 45 and/or ovarian cancer at any age. We have also analyzed 10 female patients with sporadic breast cancer regardless of age and family history, as well as 50 unrelated normal individuals as controls. Thus a total of 90 samples were analyzed for BRCA1 mutations using polymerase chain reaction-mediated site directed mutagenesis (PSM) and single stranded conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis for various selected exons followed by sequencing of variant bands. Eight point mutations were identified. Two deleterious pathogenic, protein truncating non-sense mutations were detected in exon 11 (E1250X) and exon 20 (E1754X) and six novel and unique amino acid substitutions (F1734S, D1739Y, V1741G, Q1747H, P1749A, R1753K). One complex missense mutation of exon 20 [V1741G; P1749A] was seen in two out of three families and another complex combination of missense and non-sense mutations of the same exon [V1741G; E1754X] was observed in only one family. These complex mutations exist only in breast cancer families but not in control populations of women. Three splice site variants (IVS20+3A>C, IVS20+4A>T, IVS20+5A>T) and two intronic variants (IVS20+21_22insG, IVS20+21T>G) were also detected. In the group of 10 sporadic female patients no mutations were found.

We analyzed germline mutations of the BRCAl gene in 20 German breast/ovarian-cancer families. BRCA I mutations cosegregating with breast-cancer susceptibility were identified in 3 of these families. All mutations were found to generate a premature stop codon leading to the synthesis of truncated BRC
