The 4154delA mutation carriers in the BRCA1 gene share a common ancestry

Abstract: Uncertainty exists whether the 4154delA mutation of the BRCA1 gene detected in unrelated individuals from Latvia, Poland and Russia is a founder mutation with a common ancestral origin. To trace back this problem we analysed the mutation-associated haplotype of the BRCA1 intragenic SNPs as well as intragenic and nearby STR markers in mutation carriers from the aforementioned populations. The mutation-associated SNP alleles were found to be "T-A-A-A-A-G" for six intragenic SNPs of the BRCA1 gene (IVS8-58delT, 3… Show more

“…We also found this mutation in our study. BRCA1 c.4035delA is one of the most common BRCA mutations found in Poland and the Baltic countries, being detected in 16.3% of unrelated Baltic ovarian cancer patients (37). Surprisingly, this mutation has neither been previously identified in Romania, nor in the present study.…”

“…It was also reported several times from Russia, Poland, has been predominantly detected in individuals of Eastern European and also is the most characteristic BRCA1 mutation in Lithuania [53, 54]. A common shared haplotype, with probable Lithuanian origin, was reported in these mutation carriers [159]. The BRCA1 c.181T>G is the third recurrent mutation in Latvia, but is not very commonly found.…”

“…The most frequently observed is BRCA1 c.4035delA mutation, which is more frequent in families of Baltic (Lithuanian) origin rather than Slavic [53, 54, 161], and was detected in 16.3% (7/43) of unrelated ovarian cancer patients unselected for family history in one study [159]. Among BRCA1 positive patients in a single population, this particular mutation has the highest proportion identified to date (53%), where in neighbouring countries (Latvia, Poland, Belarus and Russia) it accounts for around 40% [Tihomirova, personal communication], 10% [40], 9% [49] and 9% [41] respectively of all BRCA1 mutations.…”

“…Ozolina i wsp., analizując mutację 4153delA w trzech państwach (Rosja, Łotwa, Polska), sugerują, że ma ona wspólne pochodzenie [30]. W naszej opinii mutacja 4153delA ma nie tak etniczną, jak geograficzną wspólność -i poszerzona w ziemiach między Bałtykiem a Morzem Czarnym odpowiada terytorium Wielkiego Księstwa Litewskiego, które istniało już w XIII-XVIII wieku, a później -Rzeczypospolitej.…”
