{"doi":"10.3390/cancers12082321","title":"Prevalence of Recurrent Mutations Predisposing to Breast Cancer in Early-Onset Breast Cancer Patients from Poland","abstract":"<jats:p>There are twenty recurrent mutations in six breast-cancer-predisposing genes in Poland (BRCA1, BRCA2, CHEK2, PALB2, NBN, and RECQL). The frequencies of the twenty alleles have not been measured in a large series of early-onset breast cancer patients from Poland unselected for family history. We genotyped 2464 women with breast cancer diagnosed below age 41 years for twenty recurrent germline mutations in six genes, including BRCA1, BRCA2 CHEK2, PALB2, NBN, and RECQL. A mutation in one of the six genes was identified in 419 of the 2464 early-onset breast cancer cases (17%), including 22.4% of those cases diagnosed below age 31. The mutation frequency was 18.8% for familial breast cancer cases and 6% for non-familial cases. Among women with breast cancer below age 31, the mutation frequency was 23.6% for familial cases and 17.4% in non-familial cases. The majority of mutations (76.2%) were seen in BRCA1 and BRCA2. In Poland, a panel of twenty recurrent mutations in six genes can identify a genetic basis for a high percentage of early-onset cases and testing is recommended for all women with breast cancer at age 40 or below.</jats:p>","journal":"Cancers","year":2020,"id":615861,"datarank":0.42498200160843247,"base_score":2.833213344056216,"endowment":2.833213344056216,"self_citation_contribution":0.42498200160843247,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.42498200160843247,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":16,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":null,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":false,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":null,"fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":1587569,"name":"Karolina Malińska","orcid":null,"position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":33541,"name":"Cezary Cybulski","orcid":"0000-0002-2819-3057","position":2,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":353561,"name":"Anna Jakubowska","orcid":"0000-0002-5650-0501","position":3,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":50159,"name":"Jacek Gronwald","orcid":"0000-0002-3643-2871","position":4,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":543860,"name":"Tomasz Huzarski","orcid":"0000-0003-3857-4854","position":5,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":813178,"name":"Marcin Lener","orcid":"0000-0003-0747-4850","position":6,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":1587570,"name":"Bohdan Górski","orcid":"0000-0002-4666-4481","position":7,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":467906,"name":"Wojciech Kluźniak","orcid":"0000-0002-0782-4905","position":8,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":1587571,"name":"Helena Rudnicka","orcid":null,"position":9,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":1587572,"name":"Mohammad Akbari","orcid":null,"position":10,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":1587573,"name":"Aniruddh Kashyap","orcid":null,"position":11,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":174252,"name":"Steven Narod","orcid":null,"position":12,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":33538,"name":"Jan Lubiński","orcid":"0000-0003-2931-3003","position":13,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":240389,"name":"Tadeusz Dębniak","orcid":"0000-0002-3506-8932","position":14,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":1587574,"name":"on behalf of the Polish Hereditary Breast Cancer Consortium","orcid":null,"position":15,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":1587568,"name":"Emilia Rogoża-Janiszewska","orcid":"0000-0001-5555-3516","position":0,"is_corresponding":false}],"reference_count":0,"raw_metadata":{"has_enrichment":true,"resolved":true,"title":"Prevalence of Recurrent Mutations Predisposing to Breast Cancer in Early-Onset Breast Cancer Patients from Poland","abstract":"<jats:p>There are twenty recurrent mutations in six breast-cancer-predisposing genes in Poland (BRCA1, BRCA2, CHEK2, PALB2, NBN, and RECQL).
