23% of mesothelioma tumor specimens have a mutation in the BRCA1-associated protein 1 (BAP1) gene and germline BAP1 mutations predispose to malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). Our aim was to investigate germline BAP1 mutations in sporadic MPM patients.
Exonic DNA from peripheral blood leucocytes of 78 MPM patients was screened for germline BAP1 mutation.
One out of 78 patients showed a germline synonymous mutation in exon 11. In all other patients wild-type sequence without any single-nucleotide polymorphisms was detected.
Taking into account previous similar screenings, the prevalence of germline BAP1 mutations in sporadic MPM patients can be estimated around 1-2%, suggesting a minor role of germline BAP1 mutation in the pathogenesis of sporadic MPM.
23%的间皮瘤肿瘤标本存在乳腺癌1号相关蛋白1(BAP1)基因的突变,而种系BAP1突变易患恶性胸膜间皮瘤(MPM)。我们的目的是研究散发性MPM患者的种系BAP1突变情况。
对78例MPM患者外周血白细胞的外显子DNA进行种系BAP1突变筛查。
78例患者中有1例在第11外显子出现种系同义突变。在所有其他患者中检测到无任何单核苷酸多态性的野生型序列。
考虑到之前的类似筛查,散发性MPM患者种系BAP1突变的患病率估计约为1%-2%,提示种系BAP1突变在散发性MPM发病机制中作用较小。
