Learning Objectives Identify the genetic syndromes associated with breast, ovarian, colon and other types of cancer and the genes associated with these syndromes. Use and understand the models available to predict risk of breast and colon cancer. Understand the principles of genetic testing for individuals and families where hereditary cancer predisposition is suspected. Recognize when to refer an individual or family for cancer genetics evaluation Understand the management options for individuals who are carriers of deleterious gene mutations
5
Inherited Predisposition to Cancer Inherited cancers range from 1-60%. For most tumor types, e.g. breast, the inherited fraction fall in the range of 1-10%. Several rare tumors, adrenocortical carcinoma, retinoblastoma, and optic gliomas have very high inherited fraction (40-60%). Autosomal dominant inheritance

Multiple Mechanisms: Wilm’s Tumor
9
Multiple Mechanisms: Renal Cell Cancer Von Hippel Lindau Syndrome (VHL) – almost always clear cell histology 80% of sporadic RCC has somatic VHL mutations. Balanced translocation carriers involving chromosome 3 Papillary renal carcinoma – due to activating mutations in c-MET oncogene Hereditary leiomyomatosis RCC: mutations in fumarate hydratase; autosomal dominant uterine fibroids and cutaneous leiomyomata Birt-Hogg-Dubé Syndrome – chromophobe/oncocytic

Example of Imprecise Translocation: t(8;14) in Burkitt’s Lymphoma
13
Example of Precise Translocation: Philadelphia Chromosome in CML
14
Precise Translocation: t(11;22) in Ewings’ sarcoma Large destructive lesion in the diaphysis or metaphysis with a moth-eaten appearance periosteal lifting may give "onion skin" or "sunburst" appearance

“Red Flags” for HBOC Syndrome Breast cancer diagnosed < 50 years Ovarian cancer Male breast cancer Two primary breast cancers “Triple-negative” breast cancer Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry Familial BRCA gene mutation
22
Risk Prediction Models There are well established computer models to predict: –Risk of developing breast cancer for someone of “average” risk – Gail Model. –Risk of developing breast cancer based on family history – Claus Tables. –Likelihood that genetic testing will yield a mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2 – BRCAPro (US model) and BOADICEA (UK model).

Other Syndromes with Increased Risk for Breast Cancer Li-Fraumeni – average diagnosis 32 in p53 carriers Cowden’s syndrome – PTEN mutations assoc. with thyroid cancer, hamartomas, skin lesions Peutz-Jeghers – 32% by age 60 Ataxia telangiectasia (ATM) heterozygotes.

Li-Fraumeni Syndrome (LFS)
30
Cowden Syndrome (CS) Breast Cancer risk (30% lifetime risk). Thyroid cancer (10% lifetime risk). Cerebellar dysplastic gangliocytoma Mucocutaneous lesions Trichilemmomas (facial) Papillomatous lesions
31
Colorectal Cancer (CRC) Risks
32
HNPCC Family Pedigree
33
Hereditary Non-Polyposis Colon Cancer Lynch Syndrome Autosomal dominant CRC without polyposis associated with endometrial cancer, bile duct, ovarian, ureteral and gliomas. ~70% lifetime risk of CRC 50-70% endometrial cancer in classic Lynch. Right-sided CRC cancer is more frequent. Better prognosis of CRC stage for stage. Patients with 2 or 3 different primary HNPCC-related tumors.
34
“Red Flags” for an Affected Individual with HNPCC
35
Family History (Unaffected Individual) Criteria for HNPCC Amsterdam Criteria (CRC based) - Exclude FAP I.At least one CRC < age 50 II.Two affected generations III.Three affected relatives, two are FDR relatives of other one
