The discrepancy of somatic BRCA1/2 pathogenic variants from two different platforms in epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, and peritoneal cancer.

ABSTRACT: The somatic BRCA1 or BRCA2 Pathogenic Variant (PV)/Likely PV (LPV) from Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) is the most important biomarker for PARP inhibitor use and maintenance-targeted therapies. A discrepancy in the detection rates of BRCA1 and BRCA2 PV/LPV was identified among the NGS platforms. The objective of this study was to compare the somatic BRCA results from two distinct platforms using the same cohort and to identify the causes of these differences. Patients with epithelial ovarian cancer who concurrently underwent tumor NGS using two different platforms between January 2022 and June 2023 were included in this study. The two platforms used were in-house tumor NGS (Illumina NextSeq 550Dx, SureSelectXT library kit, and datasets from 1000 Genomes, ESP6500, ExAC, and ClinVar) and G
