Outline of Final Research Achievements

Individuals with germline BRCA1/2 pathogenic mutations have a high-risk of the development of breast, ovarian, and prostate cancers. BRCA1/2 pathological variants are racially diverse. However, it remained systematically unknown the functional significance of BRCA1/2 variants and potential therapeutic targets to PARP inhibitors.
In this study, we examined the BRCA1/2 variants which were previously classified as benign, variants of uncertain significance (VUS) and pathogenic. We assessed these variants using database (MH-BRCA) and redefined some missense variants as likely pathogenic. Furthermore, we could assess whether tumor with these variants have a sensitivity to PARP inhibitor (i.e. olaparib).

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究成果は、VUSの再評価を行うことで、機能的に再分類されること、PARP阻害剤に対する感受性を再評価することの重要性があることを示した。
日本人で同定されるBRCA1/2バリアントに対し、データベースを使って解析をすることで、再評価が可能である考えられる。また、機能的意義が明らかになった癌に対して、ポリADP-リボースポリメラーゼ(PARP)阻害剤に対する感受性を評価することも可能である。
