  5. Ambry’s Cancer Menu

  6. Why Cancer NGS Panels? • Efficient sequencing of targeted regions of cancer related genes • Many genes implicated in each cancer • Testing multiple genes simultaneously can be more time and cost effective • Aid in clinical diagnosis when clinical criteria are uncertain • There are different clinical implications for hereditary versus sporadic breast and colon cancer patients and their families. Important to understand genetic contribution for treatment and prevention • There are currently no dx breast cancer panels for intermediate risk genes • Need for expanded screening of breast cancer-related genes besides BRCA1 and BRCA2 as many patients are negative for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations • Scalability

  7. Next-generation technology

  8. NextGen SequencingIllumina GAIIx, HiSeq2000, Miseq Massive parallel sequencing---leap from capillary sequencing (96 well x 500 bp) to 250 GB of sequence in a run Since 2007 at Ambry Introduced a number of diagnostic panels (XLMR, Marfan, PCD panels, and today new cancer panels) on GAIIx, and Exome sequencing on Hiseq2000 Decreased per basepair cost allows for large panel design at reasonable cost and turn-around-time

  13. Next-gen Cancer PanelsHereditary breast, ovarian, and colorectal cancer • BreastNext • OvaNext • ColoNext • CancerNext • Comprehensive sequence and deletion/ duplication testing

  14. BreastNext • Gene sequencing for all 14 genes • Deletion and Duplication Analysis

  15. All Breast Cancer Susceptibility Genes are Not Created EqualModerate to High Penetrance Alleles CDH1 MRE11A NBN RAD50 BARD1 MUTYH Meindl et al 2011

  16. In the context of family historyATM, BRIP1, CHEK2, PALB2 and others with 2x increased lifetime risk • 70% of women have a lifetime risk below 10% (solid blue) • For women with a genetic mutation and FHx, 70% have a lifetime risk above 60% (dashed red) “ Therefore, mutation testing of these genes for such women may be as clinically relevant as is mutation testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2. We argue that detection of mutations in these genes may be of considerable clinical consequence in terms of absolute breast cancer risk (that is, penetrance) for women with a strong family history No Family History Family History ” Byrnes et al Br Cancer Res 2008

  17. Moderate Penetrance Breast Cancer Genes • “Mutations in CHEK2, ATM, NBS1, RAD50, BRIP1, and PALB2 are associated with doubling of breast cancer risks” Walsh et al. Cancer Cell 2007

  18. Byrnes et al Breast Cancer Research 2008

  19. Meta-analysis of large case-control studies of mild to moderate risks variants • ATM • O.R. 1.20- 4.56 • CHEK2 • O.R 1.52-3.10 • NBN (NBS1) • O.R. 2.42 Zhang et al. Lancet Oncology 2011

  20. PALB2 and Breast Cancer • Reported in 1-3% of BRCA1/2 negative families • Also in the FA-BRCA pathway • Estimate a 2-4 fold increase in breast cancer risk • Biallelic mutations result in Fanconi anemia type N (FANCN) • WECARE study (Tischkowitz et al. Hum Mut 2012) • O.R. : 5.3 (1.8-13.2) • n~500 cases and ~500 controls • Also at increased risk for: • Pancreatic Cancer (Jones et al Science 2009) • Ovarian Cancer (Walsh et al PNAS 2011)

  21. NBN(NBS1) and Breast Cancer • Founder mutation in Slavic populations of Central and Eastern Europe, c.657del5 • Seen in 90% of NBS cases and 50% of heterozygotes with cancer • Frequency of this mutation is 1/100-1/200 but has been reported as high as 1/30 • Truncating Mutations • Missense mutations may have decreased penetrance, such as p.R215W • Mutation prevalence is inversely correlated with age at diagnosis Bogdanova et al. Int J Cancer 2008 Steffen et al. Int J Cancer 2006

  22. MUTYH and Breast CancerReview of conflicting data • Excess rate of extracolonic malignancies has been reported in individuals with MUTYH mutations (1,2) • Suggested elevated risk of CRC, gastric, ovarian, bladder, skin, breast and endometrial cancers • Follow-up showed no association of MUTYH and breast cancer risk (3,4) • Increased risk of breast cancer in familial cancer and polyposis families • 18% of female MAP patients with breast cancer (5) • 5-7% of familial colorectal and/or breast cancer families were heterozygotes (6) • 1.9% of controls • Rates were similar in predominantly CRC vs Breast families • Increased breast Cancer Risk in Sephardic Jews (7): O.R. 1.39-1.86 • Trend towards association of MUTYH heterozygotes with sporadic breast cancer but insufficient power to detect O.R<2 (8) Win et al Fam Cancer 2010 Vogt et al Gastroenterology 2009 Zhang et al. CEPB 2006 Beiner et al Br Can Res Treat 2009 Nielsen et al. J Med Genet 2005 Wasielewski et al. Br Can Res Treat 2010 Rennert et al. Cancer 2011 Out et al. Br Can Res Treat 2012

  23. OvaNext • Gene sequencing for all 19 genes • Deletion and Duplication Analysis

  24. Atypical Phenotypes Li-Fraumeni Syndrome “Mutations not associated with “typical phenotypes” are of particular interest. For example, the three TP53 mutations occurred in patients without a family history of Li–Fraumeni syndrome and the two MSH6 mutations occurred in patients without a family history of Lynch syndrome. As comprehensive genetic testing is undertaken for individuals not selected for established syndromic phenotypes, a wider range of expressivity associated with germ-line mutations of cancer susceptibility genes will become increasingly apparent.” Walsh et al. PNAS 2011

  25. Prevalence of Hereditary Ovarian Cancer (Walsh et al. PNAS 2011) • Previously reported by TCGA at 14%, only in BRCA1or BRCA2 • Reported at 24% (62/282) • 7% of these are structural changes • 25% of hereditary ovarian cancer is related to a mutation in one of OvaNext genes

  26. Hereditary Susceptibility to CRC ? Jasperson et al. Gastroenterology 2010

  27. ColoNext • Gene Sequencing for all 14 genes • Deletion and Duplication Analysis

  28. “Everybody in my family gets cancer.” Pancreatic ca dx 57 Lung ca dx 80 prostate dx 65 breast dx 55 Stomach ca dx 41 64 y Colon ca dx 51 d. 40 Accident 2 polyps 39 Lobular breast ca dx 32; 2 polyps, 34y “GI” ca dx 45 Leukemia dx 11 Ductal breast ca dx 42

  32. Lifetime Breast Cancer Risk & NCCN • Lifetime Breast Cancer Risk of 20-25% • Threshold for designating women high risk for breast cancer, as stated in ACS Guidelines for breast screening with MRI as an adjunct to mammography (Saslowetal 2007) • “A high risk of breast cancer also occurs with mutations in the TP53 gene (Li-Fraumeni syndrome) and the PTEN gene (Cowden and Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndromes). • “…In cases in which insufficient evidence to recommend for or against MRI screening, decisions should be made on a case-by-case basis…” Publications cited by NCCN guidelines for above statements: SaslowetalCa Cancer J Clin 2007;57:75-89. Murphy etalCancer 2008;113:3116-3120.

  33. NCCN Example – PTEN(Cowden Syndrome) Genetic/Familial High-Risk Assessment Version1.2011 • Breast Cancer Screening Guidelines: • BSE beginning at age 18y • CBE every 6-12 mo, age 25y or 5-10y before the earliest known breast cancer • Annual mammography & breast MRI starting 30-35, or 5-10 y b/f earliest known ca in family (whichever comes first) • Discuss option of risk reducing mastectomy and hysterectomy on case-by-case basis…. • Add’l recommendations for endometrial, thyroid, colon, and dermatologic screenings • Cited breast cancer risk: • An estimated breast cancer risk of 25-50% with average age of 38-46 years at diagnosis.

  36. Historic Perspectives on HBOC Identification of Genetic Risk for Breast-Ovarian Cancer • 1866- Paul Broca provides a detailed scientific description of inherited breast-ovarian cancer. • Mid 1980s - Quest for genetic basis of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer • Dec 1990 - HBOC linked to chromsome 17q21 by Mary-Claire King & colleagues, UC Berkeley • Mar 1994 – Breast Cancer Linkage Consortium (BCLC) outlines risks for cancer beyond breast cancer for BRCA1 • Oct 1994 – The cloning of BRCA1 described • Dec 1995 – The cloning/discovery of BRCA2 • Aug 1999 – BCLC outlines risks for cancer beyond breast/ovarian cancer for BRCA2 • Dec 1999 –Publication of evidence that BRCA1 and BRCA2 are involved in the DNA damage response. “BRCA1, BRCA2 and their possible function in DNA damage response.” Kate-Jarai Z etal. PMID: 10584867

  37. Historic Perspectives on HBOC Prophylactic surgical interventions for women with HBOC • 1995 • Prophylactic Oopherectomyin inherited breast/ovarian cancer families.StruewingetalJNCI PMID: 8573450 : • Eg: StruewingetalJNCI PMID: 8573450 : Multi-center study to determine the incidence of post-oophorectomycarcinomatosis and to quantify the effectiveness of preventive surgery • Sept 1999 • Studies demonstrate that prophylactic oophorectomy reduces ovarian cancer risk, and then specifically shows that prophylactic oophorectomy reduces both ovarian and breast cancer risk in BRCA carriers. RebbecketalJNCI PMID: 10469748 • Jan 1999 • “Efficacy of bilateral prophylactic mastectomy in women with a family history of breast cancer.” Hartman etalNEJM PMID: 9887158 • Study supports the suggestion that prophylactic mastectomy reduces risk of breast cancer. However, it was retrospective and many women did not have genetic analysis performed • Mar 2004 • Bilateral prophylactic mastectomy reduces breast cancer risk in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers: the PROSE Study Group. Rebbecketal JCO PMID: 14981104 • Demonstrates that bilateral prophylactic mastectomy reduces the risk of breast cancer in women with BRCA1/2 mutations (with or without prophylactic oopherectomy, by approximately 95%, and 90%, respectively).

  38. Historic Perspectives on HBOC Chemoprevention • July/Sept 1998 – • Three papers describe three trials that investigate the role of Tamoxifen as a chemopreventive agent for breast cancer. • Fisher etal PMID: 9747868, PowlesetalPMID: 9672274,Veronesietal PMID: 9672273 • Fisher B et al. Tamoxifen for prevention of breast cancer: report of the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project P-1 study. J Natl Cancer Inst 1998;90:1371–88. [PubMed: 9747868] • June 2004 • Analysis of 491 women with stage I or stage II breast cancer, for whom a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation had been identified in the family • Estimate risk of contralateral breast cancer in BRCA1 and BRCA2 carriers after diagnosis • Authors conclude, “The risk of contralateral breast cancer in women with a BRCA mutation is approximately 40% at 10 years, and is reduced in women who take tamoxifen or who undergo an oophorectomy.” • Metcalfe et al. Contralateral breast cancer in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers. J ClinOncol2004;22:2328–35. PMID: 15197194 MRI surveillance – similar trajectory Targeted chemotherapeutics - PARP inhibitors in Phase II clinical trials
