The Development of Hereditary Cancer A normal cell has two functional copies of each gene. Some genes (including BRCA1 and BRCA2) function as tumor suppressors, helping repair DNA damage and keeping the damaged cells from becoming cancerous. In a cell with two functional copies of a specific tumor suppressor gene, if only one copy of the gene is damaged, the cell will still function properly as the second “back up” copy of the gene is still functional. If the other copy of the gene is damaged within the same cell, the tumor suppressor function of the gene is taken away and the cell can become cancerous. This damage can occur through lifestyle, environmental exposures (carcinogens), and most commonly the normal aging process of cells. The chances of both copies of an important tumor suppressor gene being independently knocked out in the same cell are extremely small. Individuals with hereditary cancer have inherited one nonfunctional copy of a specific tumor suppressor gene in every cell of their body. Therefore these individuals require only one additional mutation to knock out the functional copy of the gene, making cancer development much more likely.References:Knudson AG Jr. Mutation and cancer: statistical study of retinoblastoma.

Prevalence of BRCA Mutations in HBOC Families All cancer results from an accumulation of mutations in genes that normally control cell division. Most of these mutations are acquired during a person's lifetime, but in some individuals, an initial mutation in a critical gene is inherited. Approximately 7%1 of breast cancer and approximately 14% 2,3,10 of invasive ovarian cancer results from such genetic mutations passed down from either the father or mother. The majority (approximately 84%) of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer results from inherited mutations in two genes called BRCA1 (52%) and BRCA2 (32%).4,5 Although sometimes referred to as the “breast cancer genes,”BRCA1 and BRCA2 are also associated with the majority of hereditary cancers of the ovary. Although the risk of breast or ovarian cancer may sometimes be increased in other hereditary cancer syndromes, there do not appear to be other genes (such as a so-called "BRCA3") that are responsible for a significant proportion of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. Studies have in fact indicated that “if there are additional genes, they are of minor importance, compared with BRCA1 and BRCA2, in families with breast and ovarian cancer.”5-7 Other genes that have been associated with an increased lifetime risk of breast cancer include p53, PTEN, CDH1, CHEK2, ATM, STK11.8 It is important to note that syndromes associated with these other gene mutations often include additional types of cancers and/or associated physical characteristics of the particular syndrome. In general, these “other” gene mutations carry an overall lower lifetime risk of breast cancer when compared to BRCA gene mutations and occur less frequently in the general population.8 In addition to BRCA gene mutations, mismatch repair gene mutations are associated with hereditary ovarian cancer. South et al. found that approximately 2% of 77 ovarian cancer patients who had negative BRCA gene sequencing and did not meet Amsterdam II criteria, had a deleterious mismatch repair gene mutation identified.9References:Claus EB, Schildkraut JM, Thompson WD, Risch NJ.

A BRCA Mutation Increases Breast and Ovarian Cancer Risks Without intervention, the majority of women with inherited mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 will develop breast and/or ovarian cancer. The range of risks of breast and ovarian cancer associated with mutations in these genes has been characterized through numerous studies. The lower estimates of risk are derived from analysis of mutations in an unselected general population of individuals, whereas higher estimates of mutation-associated cancer risk are derived from families with a strong history of cancer. Generally, mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 are associated with a 45% to 87% risk of breast cancer by age 701-8; however, variability of this risk has been demonstrated among families, most likely due to other modifying factors.1-3,11,12 Most importantly, hereditary breast cancer occurs, on average, at an earlier age than the nonhereditary (sporadic) form. Women in the general population have only a 2% chance of developing breast cancer before age 50.9 However, a woman with a mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2 has a 33% to 50% likelihood of developing breast cancer before reaching 50 years of age.2,4,10 The risk of ovarian cancer due to inherited BRCA1 mutations is 28%7 to 44%1 by age 70, compared to the general population risk of <1%. Mutations in BRCA2 confer a risk of ovarian cancer of 11%3 to 27%8 by age 70, which represents up to a 15-fold increase compared to the general population. References:Ford D, et al.

A BRCA Mutation Increases the Risk of a Second Cancer Women who have developed breast cancer are at greatly increased risk of a second cancer if they carry a mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2.1-5 The risk of a contralateral breast cancer is increased up to 64% by age 70,2 compared to the general population risk of 2 to 11%.6 Additionally, the risk for a second breast cancer within five years of the initial diagnosis in women with BRCA1 mutations is 27.1%.5 Mutations in BRCA2 increase these risks to about 50% by age 70,3 or 23.5% within five years of the first breast cancer.5One recent study7 suggested that the age of onset of the first breast cancer may play a role in the level of risk for a woman who carries a BRCA mutation to develop a second breast cancer; with a younger age of onset (under 40 years of age) correlating to a higher risk of a second breast cancer occurrence. Women diagnosed with initial breast cancer younger than age 40 had a significantly higher risk of contralateral breast cancer in BRCA1 families (and a similar trend was seen in BRCA2 families but not statistically significant). 62.9% of women from BRCA1 mutation families with first breast cancer under 40 developed contralateral breast cancer within 25 years compared to 19.6% of women whose first breast cancer was over age 40. Another recent study by Malone et al. found that, compared with noncarriers, BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers had a 4.5-fold and 3.4-fold increased risk of contralateral breast cancer, respectively.13 The relative risk of developing CBC in BRCA1 mutation carriers compared to noncarriers increased with younger age at first diagnosis with an 11-fold increased CBC risk among women diagnosed before 35, a 4-fold increased risk for women diagnosed from 35-44, and a 2.6-fold increased risk for women diagnosed 45-54 years. Data regarding BRCA2 mutation carriers did not show a clear age-related trend. Data indicate that the 10-year risk for ovarian cancer AFTER a breast cancer in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers is 12.7% and 6.8%, respectively.8 Other studies have shown that the risk for ovarian cancer AFTER a breast cancer diagnosis on BRCA2 mutation carriers is 16%9 and women with a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation have a 10-fold increased risk compared to women who do not have a BRCA1/2 mutation.10 Due to the ineffectiveness to screen for ovarian cancer, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) and the Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO)have recommended that mutation positive women have a prophylactic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy after child-bearing.11,12ReferencesFrank TS, et al.

Risks in Men with a BRCA Mutation To date, fewer men than women have undergone hereditary cancer testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations, in part because of misinformation about male cancer risks.1 However, men who carry BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations have a significantly increased risk of cancer, with BRCA2 the more important gene for cancer susceptibility in men. In a study of BRCA2 families, the cumulative risk of all BRCA-associated cancers in men was 32% by age 70, compared with 90% for women.2 For BRCA2 mutation carriers, the lifetime risk of male breast cancer is approximately 7-8%.4,7 This is compared to a risk of 0.1% (1 in 1000) for male breast cancer in the general population.6The risk of male breast cancer in BRCA1 families is less characterized, but may be up to 1.8% by age 80.7 Mutations in BRCA2 also are associated with an increased risk of invasive prostate cancer (20% by age 80).2 In a case-control study of Ashkenazi Jewish men, BRCA2 mutation carriers had a nearly 5-fold increased risk of prostate cancer.3 A recent study found that prostate cancer in BRCA2 mutation carriers is associated with more aggressive disease and poorer overall survival. The authors of this study suggest that, compared to prostate cancers in men without BRCA mutations, the prostate cancer in men who also have germline BRCA mutations should not be managed with active surviellance.8 A modestly increased risk of prostate cancer was reported in men under age 65 with BRCA1 mutations.5References:Liede A, et al.

Risks of Other Cancers Both men and women with mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 have an elevated risk of pancreatic cancer compared to the general population.1,2,5,9-13 However, BRCA2 mutation carriers , with a risk of pancreatic cancer of up to 7% by age 80, appear to be at higher risk than BRCA1 mutation carriers.5 An increased risk of colorectal cancer among BRCA mutation carriers, compared to the general population, has been described. Specifically, a two-fold increased risk was observed among BRCA1 carriers,2,3 and a three-fold increased risk was observed among BRCA2 carriers.6 However, additional studies have not observed this increased risk, so a true association remains unclear.1,4,5 An increased risk of melanoma has been described in BRCA2 mutation carriers with a 2.5 increase in relative risk compared to the general population.1 An increased risk of melanoma in BRCA1 mutation carriers has not been observed. At this time, there are no professional/societal recommendations for increased screening for pancreatic cancer, colon cancer, and melanoma, in mutation-positive individuals; however, experts agree that BRCA positive families in which there is a history of pancreatic cancer should be offered regular surveillance using peer-reviewed protocols at experienced medical centers.7,8 For male-associated cancers, the NCCN has specific guidelines outlined elsewhere in this presentation.References:The Breast Cancer Linkage Consortium: Cancer Risks in BRCA2 Mutation Carriers.
