“…Two third of DDR deleterious variants were present only in single ethnic populations. It suggests that DDR deleterious variants could be most likely arisen in recent history (Keinan & Clark, 2012;Fu et al, 2013;Li et al, 2022). This is evidenced by the fact that nearly all currently known BRCA founder mutations determined by haplotyping were young, for example, BRCA1 c.3228_3229del in Italian was arisen 3,225 yr ago (Laitman et al, 2013); of the three BRCA founder mutations in Ashkenazi Jewish population, BRCA1 185delAG(c.68_69del) was arose 1,500-750 yr ago (Hamel et al, 2011), BRCA1 5382insC(c.5266dup) 1,800 yr ago (Neuhausen et al, 1998), and BRCA2 6174delT(c.5946del) 580 yr ago (Zeegers et al, 2004); BRCA2 c.9118-2A>G, a founder mutation in Icelander population, was arisen only 220-144 yr ago (Altmann & Gennery, 2016).…”
