Genetics 202: Clinical Cancer Genetics James Ford, M.D., Associate Professor of Medicine (Oncology), Pediatrics (Medical Genetics) and Genetics Director, Stanford Program for Clinical Cancer Genetics and Genomics Nicki Chun, M.S. Genetic Counselor, Stanford Cancer Genetics Clinic Assistant Professor of Pediatrics - Genetic Counseling Learning Goals • Understanding sporadic v. familial v. hereditary cancers • Patterns of inheritance of hereditary cancer risk • Characteristics of inherited cancer syndromes • Goals of genetic counseling and testing for cancer syndromes • Diagnosis and management of Hereditary GI cancer syndromes • HNPCC – Lynch syndrome • HBOC • Gene Panels • Targeting BRCA mutant tumors for therapy with PARP inhibitors • DNA sequencing and rare genetic variants – going forward • Cancer Genomics – profiling tumors and personalized oncology Opportunities to Increase Cancer Survival Normal tissue Genetic Risk Assessment Malignant tissue Prevention Distant cancer spread Early detection Early treatment Death Treatment Somatic Germline Genetic testing for cancer risk susceptibility Increased focus on early detection and prevention Tumor molecular profiling & targeted therapies Personalized Medicine in Cancer: Risk Assessment and Prevention Identification of germline and familial genetic alterations that increase risk of cancer Development of targeted screening and early detection techniques prevent development of advanced cancers Incorporation of moderate and low-penetrant, common genetic variants in risk prediction and modification Personalized Medicine in Cancer: Tumor Profiling and Therapeutics Identification of genetic alterations that drive carcinogenesis Disease stratification for better prognostic/predictive markers Development of drugs that can effectively inhibit the function of these genetic alterations Molecularly targeted therapies to be used consistently and effectively in patients with cancer Assessment and prediction of drug resistance mechanisms Genetic Theory of Cancer • Cancer is a genetic disease • Most cancers have mutations in multiple genes • The underlying defect in cancers is Genomic Instability • Cancers require alterations in genes involved in cellular proliferation, cell cycle, apoptosis, telomere maintenance and DNA repair • Most inherited cancer syndromes are due to alterations in genes required for genomic stability. The Development of Hereditary Cancer Nonhereditary Mother or Father Hereditary 1 damaged gene 1 normal gene 2 normal genes 1 damaged gene 1 normal gene Loss of normal gene 1 damaged gene 1 normal gene Loss of normal gene Characteristics of Inherited Cancer Syndromes Sporadic vs. Familial vs. Hereditary Cancer Sporadic Cancers account for the vast majority of tumors occur without marked family history or early age Familial Cancers 5 - 20% of most common tumors show familial clustering may be due to chance, shared environmental factors or genes Hereditary Cancers account for 5 - 10% of cancers recognizable inheritance pattern (usually autosomal dominant) early age of onset, multiple primary cancers identified germline genetic alterations Cardinal Features of Hereditary Cancers • Early age of cancer onset • Multiple primary cancers showing specific combinations within the patient’s family • Excess of multifocal, bilateral or multiple primary cancers • Physical stigmata • Distinctive pathological features • Occasional differences in survival and clinical severity • Dominant pattern of transmission, with marked variability in phenotypic expressivity and gene penetrance Autosomal Dominant Inheritance Each child has 50% chance of inheriting the mutation No “skipped generations” Equally transmitted by men and women Normal Cancer more typical . . . Normal Affected Most Cancer Susceptibility Genes Are Dominant With Incomplete Penetrance Normal Susceptible Carrier Carrier, affected with cancer Sporadic cancer Penetrance is often incomplete May appear to “skip” generations Individuals inherit altered cancer susceptibility gene, not cancer Age-Specific Penetrance Percentage of individuals with an altered disease gene who develop the disease 100 Affected with colorectal cancer (%) 80 HNPCC mutation carriers 60 40 General population 20 0 0 20 40 60 80 Autosomal Dominant Inherited Cancer Syndromes • Breast and Ovarian Cancer • Colon Cancer and Polyposis HNPCC FAP Polyposis Cowdens Peutz-Jehgers Juvenile Polyposis • Other GI Cancers Gastric Pancreas BRCA1&2 MMR APC MYH PTEN STK11 SMAD4 BMPR1A CDH1 p16 • MEN1 Menin • MEN2/MTC RET • VHL VHL • Li-Fraumeni p53 Hereditary Susceptibility to Cancer • Who to test for genetic susceptibility? • What are the risks of cancer associated with known genetic mutations? • What can be done to prevent cancer in unaffected carriers?
