Germline mutations of the E‐cadherin gene in families with inherited invasive lobular breast carcinoma but no diffuse gastric cancer

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Present data are highly suggestive but do not unequivocally prove the cosegregation of germ-line CDH1 mutations with inherited invasive lobular breast cancer (ILBC). METHODS: Two Caucasian families with 6 pathologically confirmed ILBC cases but no diffuse gastric cancer (DGC) were identified in our oncogenetics consultations. Screening for mutations of CDH1, BRCA1, and BRCA2 genes was performed on blood samples. When available, loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) analyses we… Show more

“…The CDH1 mutations in the 22 ILC cases included in this study were all unique and involved point mutations in 20 (91%) cases and splice site mutations/deletions in 2 (9%) cases. In triple-negative IDC of the breast, loss of E-cadherin expression has been linked to adverse clinical outcome (23). Finally, neither CDH1 mutation nor loss of E-cadherin function by other mechanisms, are considered targets for anticancer therapy at this time (24).…”

“…Carriers of CDH1 mutations face a 40-54% lifetime risk of developing BC 85 . Without a family history of hereditary diffuse gastric carcinoma, early-onset, and frequently bilateral BC, seems to be the highest risk factors for a mutation carrier [86][87][88][89] .…”

“…The vast majority of families with truncating CDH1 mutations have a history of HDGC; however, at least one other family has been reported to only have a family history of invasive lobular breast cancer, but not HDGC (Xie et al. 2011). It is unclear whether this phenotype reflects a new genotype/phenotype correlation or just an expansion of the general truncating CDH1 mutation phenotype.…”
