  • Common breast cancer susceptibility alleles and the risk of breast cancer for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers : Implications for risk prediction
  • 2010
  • Ingår i: Cancer Research. - : American Association for Cancer Research. - 0008-5472 .- 1538-7445. ; 70:23, s. 9742-9754

    • The known breast cancer susceptibility polymorphisms in FGFR2, TNRC9/TOX3, MAP3K1, LSP1, and 2q35 confer increased risks of breast cancer for BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation carriers. We evaluated the associations of 3 additional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs4973768 in SLC4A7/NEK10, rs6504950 in STXBP4/COX11, and rs10941679 at 5p12, and reanalyzed the previous associations using additional carriers in a sample of 12,525 BRCA1 and 7,409 BRCA2 carriers. Additionally, we investigated potential interactions between SNPs and assessed the implications for risk prediction. The minor alleles of rs4973768 and rs10941679 were associated with increased breast cancer risk for BRCA2 carriers (per-allele HR = 1.10, 95% CI: 1.03-1.18, P = 0.006 and HR = 1.09, 95% CI: 1.01-1.19, P = 0.03, respectively). Neither SNP was associated with breast cancer risk for BRCA1 carriers, and rs6504950 was not associated with breast cancer for either BRCA1 or BRCA2 carriers. Of the 9 polymorphisms investigated, 7 were associated with breast cancer for BRCA2 carriers (FGFR2, TOX3, MAP3K1, LSP1, 2q35, SLC4A7, 5p12, P = 7 × 10-11 - 0.03), but only TOX3 and 2q35 were associated with the risk for BRCA1 carriers (P = 0.0049, 0.03, respectively). All risk-associated polymorphisms appear to interact multiplicatively on breast cancer risk for mutation carriers. Based on the joint genotype distribution of the 7 risk-associated SNPs in BRCA2 mutation carriers, the 5% of BRCA2 carriers at highest risk (i.e., between 95th and 100th percentiles) were predicted to have a probability between 80% and 96% of developing breast cancer by age 80, compared with 42% to 50% for the 5% of carriers at lowest risk. Our findings indicated that these risk differences might be sufficient to influence the clinical management of mutation carriers.

  • HER-2/neu amplification predicts poor survival in node-positive breast cancer
  • 1990
  • Ingår i: Cancer Research. - 0008-5472. ; 50:14, s. 7-4332
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • HER-2/neu protooncogene amplification and protein expression were analyzed with slot blot and Western blot techniques, respectively, in more than 300 invasive primary breast tumors of all stages. Amplification (2- greater than 30 copies) was found in 17% of these tumors and high expression was seen in 19%. There was a striking coincidence between gene amplification and high expression. Tumors associated with many involved axillary lymph nodes or with Stage IV disease were more often HER-2/neu amplified or overexpressed. Furthermore, gene alteration was strongly correlated with the absence of steroid receptors and with larger tumor size. High expression without gene amplification was seen in a minor subset of tumors of less aggressive character. Neither amplification nor overexpression was correlated with disease outcome for patients with negative axillary lymph nodes. For node-positive patients, however, HER-2/neu amplification was a significant predictor of early relapse and death (median follow-up = 45 months), and a similar trend, although not significant, existed for high gene expression. Multivariate analyses indicated that HER-2/neu alterations were not independent predictors of patient outcome.

  • A hypersensitive estrogen receptor-alpha mutation in premalignant breast lesions
  • 2000
  • Ingår i: Cancer Research. - 0008-5472. ; 60:15, s. 4026-4029
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The best current model of breast cancer evolution suggests that most cancers arise from certain premalignant lesions. We have identified a common (34%) somatic mutation in the estrogen receptor (ER)-alpha gene in a series of 59 typical hyperplasias, a type of early premalignant breast lesion. The mutation, which affects the border of the hinge and hormone binding domains of ER-alpha, showed increased sensitivity to estrogen as compared with wild-type ER-alpha in stably transfected breast cancer cells, including markedly increased proliferation at subphysiological levels of estrogen. The mutated ER-alpha exhibits enhanced binding to the TIF-2 coactivator at low levels of hormone, which may partially explain its increased estrogen responsiveness. These data suggest that this mutation may promote or accelerate the development of cancer from premalignant breast lesions.

  • An exon 5 deletion variant of the estrogen receptor frequently coexpressed with wild-type estrogen receptor in human breast cancer
  • 1993
  • Ingår i: Cancer Research. - 0008-5472. ; 53:24, s. 4-5882
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Recent evidence suggests that the expression of estrogen receptor (ER) variants in breast cancer may interfere with wild-type (wt) ER function and be related to tumor progression and resistance to hormone treatment. One of these variants, ER delta E5, lacking that part of the hormone-binding domain encoded by exon 5, has previously been identified in breast tumors with the unusual estrogen receptor negative (ER-) and progesterone receptor positive (PgR+) phenotype and found to possess constitutive and hormone-independent transcriptional activity. Using a ribonuclease protection assay, we analyzed 27 breast tumors and 4 breast cell lines for the presence of this variant. We found the ER delta E5 variant to be expressed, not only in all of three ER-/PgR+ tumors but also in 19 of 20 ER+/PgR+ or ER+/PgR- tumors. Moreover, the variant was always coexpressed with and often in excess of wtER. ER delta E5 was also found in three breast cancer cell lines (MCF7, T47D, and ZR75-1), although to a lesser extent than wtER. A complete absence of both ER delta E5 and wtER was noted in four ER-/PgR- tumors and one normal breast cell line (HBL-100). Thus, our data suggest that the occurrence of ER delta E5 in breast cancer may represent a critical stage in tumor progression to autonomy.
