Germline and Somatic BRCA1/2 Gene Mutational Status and Clinical Outcomes in Epithelial Peritoneal, Ovarian, and Fallopian Tube Cancer: Over a Decade of Experience in a Single Institution in Korea.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aimed to present a single institutional experience with BRCA1/2 gene tests and the effects of pathogenic mutations in epithelial peritoneal, ovarian, and fallopian tube cancer (POFTC) on survival outcomes.

Materials and methods

We identified patients with epithelial POFTCs who underwent BRCA1/2 gene testing by either germline or somatic methods between March 2007 and March 2020. Based on the BRCA1/2 test results, patients were divided into BRCA mutation and wild-type groups, followed by comparisons of clinicopathologic characteristics and survival outcomes after primary treatment.

Results

The annual number of POFTC patients who received BRCA1/2 gene tests increased gradually. In total, 511 patients were included and BRCA1/2 mutations were observed in 143 (28.0%). Among 57 patients who received both germline and somatic tests, three (5.3%) showed discordant results from the two tests. Overall, no differences in progression-free survival (PFS; p=0.467) and overall survival (p=0.641) were observed between the BRCA mutation and wild-type groups; however, multivariate analyses identified BRCA1/2 mutation as an independent favorable prognostic factor for PFS (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 0.765; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.593 to 0.987; p=0.040). In 389 patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage III-IV, different results were shown depending on primary treatment strategy: while BRCA1/2 mutation significantly improved PFS in the subgroup of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (aHR, 0.619; 95% CI, 0.385 to 0.995; p=0.048), it did not affect patient PFS in the subgroup of primary debulking surgery (aHR, 0.759; 95% CI, 0.530 to 1.089; p=0.135).

Conclusion

BRCA1/2 mutations are frequently observed in patients with epithelial POFTCs, and such patients showed better PFS than did those harboring wild-type BRCA1/2.

Project description: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 GreenPlan homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) test (Illumina NextSeq 550Dx, customized Twist Bioscience library kit, and datasets from COSMIC and OncoKB). The results of somatic mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 were compared between the two platforms. Of the 118 patients, 11.9% (n = 14) exhibited a discordant interpretation of BRCA1 or BRCA2 between the two platforms. Eleven patients (9.3%) exhibited negative results in the in-house platform but positive results (eight seven as PV of BRCA1, one as PV of BRCA2, one as LPV of BRCA1, and two as LPV of BRCA2) in the GreenPlan HRD test, while three patients (2.6%) had positive BRCA pathogenic variants (two as PV of BRCA1 [c.3340G > T, c.5152 + 3 A > C], one as LPV of BRCA2 [c.8174G > T], and one as LPV of BRCA1 [c.5017_5019delCAC]) in the in-house platform but a negative result in the GreenPlan HRD test. The discordance rate of somatic BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations from different platforms was approximately 12%. In the case of the strong implication of BRCA PV/LPV with a negative result with one genetic test, different platforms could be considered in limited cases. Careful interpretation and further studies for the cross-validation of gene analysis platforms are needed.
