概要 BACKGROUND: BRCA1/2 are high-penetrance genes with race-specific founder mutations. This study investigated clinicopathological characteristics of Japanese HBOC patients with the Japanese founder mutation, BRCA1 L63X.

METHODS: From 827 patients in the Japanese HBOC consortium (through August 2015), BRCA1/2 carriers were selected. Features were compared among BRCA1 L63X, other BRCA1, and BRCA2 carriers using the Chi-square test.

RESULTS: Among 88 BRCA1 and 76 BRCA2 carriers, BRCA1 L63X was found in 26 of 46 independent BRCA1 mutations. Significant differences were observed in the triple-negative phenotype (88.9% for L63X, 72.5% for other BRCA1, 26.8% for BRCA2; p < .001) and nuclear grade (p < .001).

CONCLUSIONS: The BRCA1 L63X mutation is prevalent in Japanese HBOC patients. Breast cancers with this mutation exhibit distinct characteristics in subtype and nuclear grade compared to other BRCA1/2 mutations.
