Global cancer statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries

Hyuna Sung et al.

Summary: The global cancer burden in 2020 saw an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths. Female breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, while lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death. These trends are expected to rise in 2040, with transitioning countries experiencing a larger increase compared to transitioned countries due to demographic changes and risk factors associated with globalization and a growing economy. Efforts to improve cancer prevention measures and provision of cancer care in transitioning countries will be crucial for global cancer control.

Analysis of Italian BRCA1/2 Pathogenic Variants Identifies a Private Spectrum in the Population from the Bergamo Province in Northern Italy

Gisella Figlioli et al.

Summary: The Italian population shows high genetic heterogeneity due to migration and colonization, leading to recurrent BRCA1/2 pathogenic variants in specific regions like Bergamo province. The BRCA1/2 PV spectrum in Bergamo is private and conserved, with fewer but more frequently occurring variants compared to the rest of Italy. This suggests that Bergamo could be an ideal population for studying disease risk associated with local PVs in breast cancer and other disease-causing genes, indicating a potential genetic isolation worth further investigation.

Recurrent Mutations in BRCA1, BRCA2, RAD51C, PALB2 and CHEK2 in Polish Patients with Ovarian Cancer

Alicja Lukomska et al.

Summary: In Poland, ovarian cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women. Founder mutations in BRCA1, BRCA2, PALB2, RAD51C, and CHEK2 genes are associated with breast and ovarian cancer. This study aimed to analyze the frequency and magnitude of 21 recurrent founder germline mutations in these genes with ovarian cancer risk in Poland, recommending testing for a panel of 18 mutations in affected individuals and their first-degree female relatives.

Globally Rare BRCA2 Variants With Founder Haplotypes in the South African Population: Implications for Point-of-Care Testing Based on a Single-Institution BRCA1/2 Next-Generation Sequencing Study

Jaco Oosthuizen et al.

Summary: Historically, breast cancer patients in South Africa have benefitted from population-based genetic research, leading to the development of founder-based BRCA1/2 diagnostic tests. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have questioned the clinical utility of limited genetic assays, prompting a study to determine the prevalence of common BRCA variants and explore inferred haplotypes. The identification of additional founder variants through NGS revealed actionable BRCA1/2 variants, supporting the use of targeted genetic testing as a first-tier assay and promoting rapid POC technology.

Dorra Ben Ayed-Guerfali et al.

Summary: The study revealed a 14.17% frequency of BRCA germline mutations in Tunisian patients with high risk of breast/ovarian cancer, with some recurrent mutations found in a significant proportion of familial cases of breast and ovarian cancer.

Impact of deleterious variants in other genes beyond BRCA1/2 detected in breast/ovarian and pancreatic cancer patients by NGS-based multi-gene panel testing: looking over the hedge

M. Bono et al.

Summary: This study found that offering multi-gene panel testing to BRCA1/2-wild-type BC/OC/PC patients with a strong personal and/or family history of cancer significantly increased the detection rates of germline pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in other cancer predisposition genes. Increasing the use of multi-gene panel testing could improve the estimation of inherited cancer risk and clinical management for patients and their families.
