Clinical Characteristics of Patients with Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Carrying Homologous Recombination Repair Genes Germline Mutation

Objective:To observe the clinical characteristics, prognosis and family history of cancer of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer carrying homologous recombination repair(HRR)genes germline mutation.Methods:121 patients with epithelial ovarian cancer were enrolled in our study from January 2018 to February 2020 in Peking University Third Hospital.Whole-exome of HRR genes were analyzed in peripheral blood of all patients using next generation sequencing.Parametric and nonparametric test methods were used to compare the clinical characteristicsand family history of cancer.Log rank test and Kaplan-Meier survival analyses were performed to analyze the prognosis of patients.Results:The mutation rate of HRR genes was 29.8%(36/121),in which BRCA1 accounted for 63%,RAD51 D accounted for 13%,and BRCA2 accounted for 10%.There was a statistically significant difference in the pathological type composition of patients in the group with deleterious mutations and the group without carrying mutations(100% vs 72.2%,P=0.018).There were 5 patients with other primary malignant tumors in the 36 patients inmutation group, and the difference was statistically significant compared with the non-carrier group(2/72)(P=0.030).The positive rate of malignancy in first-degree relatives of patients with deleterious mutation was 69.4%(25/36) and 31.9%(23/72) of patients without deleterious mutation(P<0.001).The proportion of platinum-sensitive patients in the group with deleterious mutations(100%) differed from the group not carrying mutations(90.3%)(P=0.093).There was no significant difference in age, stage, first symptoms and progression free survival between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusions:Patients with epithelial ovarian cancer, especially those with high-grade serous cancer, should undergogenetic counseling, with emphasis on personal and first-degree relative tumor history collection.Patients with deleterious HRR genes germline mutationare more likely to simultaneously suffer from other malignant tumors than the rest.Testing for HRR gene is helpful for precise treatment of patients and also for early intervention and prevention of tumors among their relatives who are at high risk.
