FANCM c.5791C>T nonsense mutation (rs144567652) induces exon skipping, affects DNA repair activity and is a familial breast cancer risk factor.

چکیده
Numerous genetic factors that influence breast cancer risk are known. However, approximately two-thirds of the overall familial risk remain unexplained. To determine whether some of the missing heritability is due to rare variants conferring high to moderate risk, we tested for an association between the c.5791C>T nonsense mutation (p.Arg1931*; rs144567652) in exon 22 of FANCM gene and breast cancer. An analysis of genotyping data from 8635 familial breast cancer cases and 6625 controls from different countries yielded an association between the c.5791C>T mutation and breast cancer risk [odds ratio (OR) = 3.93 (95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.28-12.11; P = 0.017)]. Moreover, we performed two meta-analyses of studies from countries with carriers in both cases and controls and of all available data. These analyses showed breast cancer associations with OR = 3.67 (95% CI = 1.04-12.87; P = 0.043) and OR = 3.33 (95% CI = 1.09-13.62; P = 0.032), respectively. Based on information theory-based prediction, we established that the mutation caused an out-of-frame deletion of exon 22, due to the creation of a binding site for the pre-mRNA processing protein hnRNP A1. Furthermore, genetic complementation analyses showed that the mutation influenced the DNA repair activity of the FANCM protein. In summary, we provide evidence for the first time showing that the common p.Arg1931* loss-of-function variant in FANCM is a risk factor for familial breast cancer.

Breast cancer (BC) is a heterogeneous disease, and different tumor characteristics and genetic variation may affect the clinical outcome. The FANCM c.5101C > T nonsense mutation in the Finnish population associates with increased risk of breast cancer, especially for triple-negative breast cancer patients. To investigate the association of the mutation with disease prognosis, we studied tumor p...
متن کاملشناسایی جهش های جدید در اگزون 11 ژنBRCA1 در بیماران مبتلا به سرطان پستان ارثی
Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide. BRCA1 is a tumor suppressor gene that is involved in DNA-damage repair. One of the significant risk factors of breast cancer is the family history. BRCA1 gene consists of 24 exons that encode a protein with 1863 amino acids. Exon 11 is the largest exons and most of the disease-linked mutations have been found in it. I...
متن کاملA nonsense mutation in MLH1 causes exon skipping in three unrelated HNPCC families.
Germline mutations in the DNA mismatch repair genes MSH2 and MLH1 are responsible for the majority of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) families. A common mutation mechanism is to disrupt MLH1 and MSH2 mRNA splicing. The disruption creates aberrant mRNAs lacking specific coding exons (exon skipping). Here, we report a novel skipping of MLH1 exon 12 caused by an AAG to TAG nonsen...
متن کاملExome sequencing identifies FANCM as a susceptibility gene for triple-negative breast cancer.
Inherited predisposition to breast cancer is known to be caused by loss-of-function mutations in BRCA1, BRCA2, PALB2, CHEK2, and other genes involved in DNA repair. However, most families severely affected by breast cancer do not harbor mutations in any of these genes. In Finland, founder mutations have been observed in each of these genes, suggesting that the Finnish population may be an excel...

Background & Objectives: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and the second most common cause of cancer death. Genetic factors play an important role in the development of breast cancer. Among these genetic factors, CHEk2 (checkpoint kinase 2) gene, as a tumor suppressor gene, plays a critical role in DNA repair. Germline mutations in CEHK2 result in the loss of this feature. On...
