14Duplications and deletions at BRCA1 and BRCA2 in
300 families
Blue BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, red deletions,
yellow duplications
15Duplications and deletions at BRCA1 and BRCA2 in
300 families
Blue BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, red deletions,
yellow duplications
12 of high-risk families with wildtype
commercial test results carry genomic
rearrangements at BRCA1 or BRCA2
16What are the risks of breast and ovarian cancer
due to inherited mutations in BRCA1 or
BRCA2? New York Breast Cancer Study
17Trace mutations through the families, then
determine cancer experience of female relatives
with mutations
18Risk of breast cancer for relatives with BRCA1 or
BRCA2 mutations not selected for age at diagnosis
or family history
19Families with BRCA1/2 mutations with low
incidence of cancer
Are these families low risk (as well as low
incidence)?
20Risk of breast cancer for relatives with BRCA1 or
BRCA2 mutations Low-incidence families
21Low cancer incidence in an extended family By
chance, distant female relatives do not carry
mutations
BRCA2 6174DT
Complete genotyping is important
22High cancer incidence among female relatives with
mutation
BRCA1 5382insC
23Risk of breast cancer for relatives with BRCA1 or
BRCA2 mutations Effect of birth cohort
24Age at breast cancer diagnosis among probands by
genotype and pregnancy history, adjusted for
birthyear
25Age at breast cancer diagnosis among probands
with BRCA mutations by physical activity as a
teenager, adjusted for birthyear
26Risk of ovarian cancer for relatives with BRCA1
or BRCA2 mutations

28Mutations in CHEK2 associated with breast cancer
29Proportion of familial breast cancer due to
mutations in known genes
All families
Female breast cancer only
30Families with gt4 cases of breast cancer Wildtype
at BRCA1, BRCA2, CHEK2, p53, PTEN
300 more
31Haplotypes in the AJ population at the CHEK2
region of 22q
32Genome-wide screen for founder mutations in novel
genes Long haplotypes shared by multiple (not
all!) affected families
Mother-daughter pairs with breast cancer from a
founder population (AJ)
Sequence genes from longest haplotypes
33Phylogeny of haplotypes spanning 2MB on 8q
34Conclusions
Common disease - many, individually rare
alleles Second, somatic events due to genomic
structure Genetic heterogeneity of both loci and
alleles Reduced heterogeneity in founder
populations Haplotype length as a mapping
tool Indicator mutations where there is one,
there will be more..
