To Investigate the Prevalence of BRCA 1/2 Mutation Among Ovarian Cancer Clinical Trial
Official title:
Prevalence Study of Germline and/or Somatic BRCA1/2 Mutation in Korean Patients With High-Grade Serous and/or Endometrioid Epithelial Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, or Primary Peritoneal Cancer
PURPOSE: To investigate the prevalence and clinical correlation of the germline BRCA 1/2
mutation in Korean patients with high grade(HG) serous and/or endometrioid epithelial
ovarian cancer (EOC).
PATIENTS AND METHODS: In a nationwide case-control study on EOC conducted in Korea between
2010 and 2015, 298 Korean women with HG serous and/or endometrioid EOC were tested for gBRCA
1/2 mutation, regardless of the family history. Mutation screening was performed using the
Ion AmpliSeq BRCA 1/2 Panel (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and Ion PGM platform
according to the manufacturer's instructions. Clinical characteristics including survival
outcome was assessed in gBRCAm carriers.
