Abstract Text The germline variant spectrum of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is different from that of other subtypes and has demonstrated ethnic differences. However, the germline variants of TNBC among Chinese patients and its clinical significance remain unclear.Using our multi-omics TNBC cohort (n = 325), we determined the spectrum of germline variants in TNBC and aimed to illustrate their biological and clinical implications.Overall, 16.0% (52 of 325) of TNBC patients harbored at least 1 pathogenic or likely pathogenic germline variant. These germline variants were associated with early onset of TNBC, the occurrence of contralateral breast cancer, the basal-like immune-suppressed mRNA subtype, and the homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) mutation subtype. Somatic allele-specific imbalance was observed in 54.1% of these germline variants, which was correlated with early onset of breast cancer and elevated HRD. The genes BRCA1 (7.4%), RAD51D (2.8%), and BRCA2 (2.2%) were those most frequently mutated. The RAD51D germline variants, especially K91fs, were enriched in Chinese patients with TNBC compared with Caucasian and African American patients. The Chinese-specific RAD51D germline variants were functionally associated with the instability of the RAD51D protein, HRD, and sensitivity to PARP inhibitors.Chinese TNBC patients have a distinct spectrum of germline variants, with a remarkable impact on the clinical and molecular characteristics of the tumor. Integrative germline-somatic analysis may help identify TNBC patients who are most likely to be affected by their germline variants and in performing clinical interventions more precisely. The RAD51D variants enriched in our cohort may serve as therapeutic targets and guide precision treatment of TNBC.

Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Use simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
  • Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
  • Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.

RAD51D E157* nonsense loss of function - predicted RAD51D E157* results in a premature truncation of the Rad51d protein at amino acid 157 of 328 (UniProt.org). E157* has not been characterized however, due to the effects of other truncation mutations downstream of E157 (PMID: 33151324), is predicted to lead to a loss of Rad51d protein function.
RAD51D K91fs frameshift loss of function RAD51D K91fs results in a change in the amino acid sequence of the Rad51d protein beginning at aa 91 of 328, likely resulting in premature truncation of the functional protein (UniProt.org). K91fs results in decreased Rad51d protein stability, impaired DNA homologous recombination activity and DNA damage response, and increased sensitivity to PARP inhibitors in culture (PMID: 33151324).
RAD51D V200* nonsense loss of function RAD51D V200* results in a premature truncation of the Rad51d protein at amino acid 200 of 328 (UniProt.org). V200* results in decreased Rad51d protein stability, impaired DNA homologous recombination activity and DNA damage response, and increased sensitivity to PARP inhibitors in culture (PMID: 33151324).
