概要 AIM: This study reports the first Japanese case of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) carrying two germline pathogenic variants (GPVs) in the BRCA2 gene.

METHODS: Genetic testing of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes was performed on a young woman with HBOC. Following the identification of two BRCA2 GPVs, her relatives were genetically tested to determine the allele configuration.

RESULTS: Two GPVs were identified in the BRCA2 gene of the patient. Because simultaneous BRCA2 GPVs on both parental alleles (trans) cause Fanconi anemia—a condition presenting with bone marrow dysfunction and cancer susceptibility—familial testing was conducted. Testing of her relatives revealed the same variants, confirming they were located in the cis position.

CONCLUSION: For patients with multiple GPVs in the BRCA2 gene, evaluating relatives with appropriate genetic counseling is crucial to confirm whether the variants are in cis or trans.
