Background.
The guidelines recommend considering the BRCA1 and BRCA2 germline mutations in female patients with breast carcinomas.
In this retrospective study, the BRCA1/2 mutation prevalence in high-risk breast carcinoma patients in a Turkish population was investigated.
Materials and Methods.
In high genetic risk breast carcinoma patients, the BRCA1 and BRCA2 germline mutations were identified by applying next-generation sequencing.
Results.
The results showed BRCA1/2 mutations in 19% of the total patients.
In those with first-degree relatives with breast carcinoma histories, the BRCA1/2 mutation prevalence was also 19%.
In the patients younger than 40 years old, the BRCA1/2 mutation prevalence was 19.5%.
In the triple-negative breast carcinoma patients younger than 60 years old, the BRCA1/2 mutation prevalence was 24.2%.
In the patients younger than 40 years old with triple-negative breast carcinomas, BRCA1/2 mutation positivity was found in 37.5% of the patients.
Overall, in the Turkish population, the BRCA1/2 mutation prevalence ranges from 19% to 37% in patients with high-risk breast carcinomas.
Conclusion.
It is recommended to check for BRCA1/2 mutations in all high-risk breast carcinoma patients in the Turkish population.
