    Abstract Background: Cancer predisposition syndromes (CPS) are rare diseases that are associated with an increased risk of cancer due to genetic alterations. At least 8 % of all cases of childhood cancer are attributable to CPS [1, 2]. The CPS registry was launched in 2017 to learn more about CPS and to improve the care to those afflicted by these diseases.
    Methods: This is an internationally networked registry with associated accompanying studies that investigate cancer risks and spectra, the possibilities of cancer prevention, early detection and therapy.
    Results: For several of these syndromes, new insights into the cancer risks and cancer types as well as factors modifying cancer risk have been gained. In addition, experimental, psycho-oncological, preclinical and clinical studies were initiated.
    Conclusions: The CPS registry is an example of how progress can be made within a short period of time to the benefit of individuals with rare diseases through systematic data collection and research.

    Abstract Hintergrund: Krebsprädispositionssyndrome (KPS) sind seltene Erkrankungen, die auf Grund von genetischen Veränderungen mit einem erhöhten Krebsrisiko einhergehen. Mindestens 8 % aller Krebserkrankungen im Kindesalter sind auf ein KPS zurückzuführen [1, 2]. 2017 wurde das KPS-Register eröffnet, um mehr über KPS zu lernen und um die Betreuung Betroffener zu verbessern. Methode: Es handelt sich um ein international vernetztes Register sowie daran angegliederte Begleitstudien, die die Krebsrisiken und -spektren, die Möglichkeiten der Krebsprävention und -früherkennung sowie der -therapie untersuchen. Ergebnisse: Für mehrere KPS wurden neue Erkenntnisse zu Krebsrisiken und Krebsarten sowie zu Faktoren, die das Krebsrisiko modifizieren, erworben. Zudem wurden experimentelle, psychoonkologische sowie präklinische und klinische Studien ins Leben gerufen. Schlussfolgerungen: Das KPS-Register ist ein Beispiel dafür, wie für Menschen mit Seltenen Erkrankungen innerhalb kurzer Zeit durch systematische Datensammlung und Forschung Fortschritte erzielt werden können.

    Abstract BRD7 (bromodomain 7), a subunit of poly-bromo-associated BRG1-associated factor (PBAF)-specific Swi/Snf chromatin remodeling complexes, has been proposed as a tumour suppressor protein following its identification as an important component of both functional p53 and BRCA1 (breast cancer 1, early onset) pathways. As low BRD7 expression levels have been linked to p53-wild-type breast tumour cells, we hypothesized an implication of BRD7 germline alterations in the pathogenesis of hereditary breast cancer similar to that of TP53 in Li-Fraumeni syndrome. We performed sequence analysis of the BRD7 gene on 61 high-risk individuals with hereditary or very-early-onset breast cancer and 100 healthy controls. Four potentially disease-causing single-nucleotide alterations were detected within the cohort of breast cancer patients (one listed as a rare single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information) SNP database). Two of the detected variants were also each found once within the control collective. Segregation analysis on both families of those carrying the remaining two variants revealed segregation of these BRD7 alterations independent of breast cancer. In conclusion, it seems that the BRD7 variants we detected represent rare polymorphisms and mainly rule out BRD7 as a frequent high-penetrance breast cancer susceptibility gene. However, further analyses in larger cohorts of women with hereditary breast cancer should clarify the role of BRD7 in breast cancer predisposition.

    Abstract Altered metabolism in tumor cells has been a focus of cancer research for as long as a century but has remained controversial and vague due to an inhomogeneous overall picture. Accumulating genomic, metabolomic, and lastly panomic data as well as bioenergetics studies of the past few years enable a more comprehensive, systems-biologic approach promoting deeper insight into tumor biology and challenging hitherto existing models of cancer bioenergetics. Presenting a compendium on breast cancer-specific metabolome analyses performed thus far, we review and compile currently known aspects of breast cancer biology into a comprehensive network, elucidating previously dissonant issues of cancer metabolism. As such, some of the aspects critically discussed in this review include the dynamic interplay or metabolic coupling between cancer (stem) cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts, the intratumoral and intertumoral heterogeneity and plasticity of cancer cell metabolism, the existence of distinct metabolic tumor compartments in need of separate yet simultaneous therapeutic targeting, the reliance of cancer cells on oxidative metabolism and mitochondrial power, and the role of pro-inflammatory, pro-tumorigenic stromal conditioning. Comprising complex breast cancer signaling networks as well as combined metabolomic and genomic data, we address metabolic consequences of mutations in tumor suppressor genes and evaluate their contribution to breast cancer predisposition in a germline setting, reasoning for distinct personalized preventive and therapeutic measures. The review closes with a discussion on central root mechanisms of tumor cell metabolism and rate-limiting steps thereof, introducing essential strategies for therapeutic targeting.

    Abstract Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) is a malignant central nervous system tumor predominantly affecting infants. Mutations of SMARCB1 or (rarely) SMARCA4 causing loss of nuclear SMARCB1 or SMARCA4 protein expression are characteristic features, but further recurrent genetic alterations are lacking. Most AT/RTs occur de novo, but secondary AT/RTs arising from other central nervous system tumors have been reported. Malignant gliomas, IDH wild-type, arising in patients with Li-Fraumeni syndrome typically show somatic mutations of TP53 as well as complex copy number alterations, but little is known about the loss of SMARCB1 or SMARCA4 protein expression in this context. Here, we report 2 children in whom malignant supratentorial brain tumors with SMARCB1 deficiency, complex copy number alterations, and somatic TP53 mutations lead to the discovery of pathogenic/likely pathogenic TP53 variants in the germline. Screening of the molecularneuropathology.org dataset for cases with similar genetic and epigenetic alterations yielded another case with SMARCA4 deficiency in a young adult with Li-Fraumeni syndrome. In conclusion, SMARCB1-deficient or SMARCA4-deficient malignant brain tumors with complex copy number alterations and somatic TP53 mutations in children and young adults may represent the first clinical manifestation of Li-Fraumeni syndrome and should prompt genetic counseling and investigation for TP53 germline status.

    Abstract Background: Breast cancer is the most prevalent tumor entity in Li-Fraumeni syndrome. Up to 80% of individuals with a Li-Fraumeni-like phenotype do not harbor detectable causative germline TP53 variants. Yet, no systematic panel analyses for a wide range of cancer predisposition genes have been conducted on cohorts of women with breast cancer fulfilling Li-Fraumeni(-like) clinical diagnostic criteria.
    Methods: To specifically help explain the diagnostic gap of TP53 wild-type Li-Fraumeni(-like) breast cancer cases, we performed array-based CGH (comparative genomic hybridization) and panel-based sequencing of 94 cancer predisposition genes on 83 breast cancer patients suggestive of Li-Fraumeni syndrome who had previously had negative test results for causative BRCA1, BRCA2, and TP53 germline variants.
    Results: We identified 13 pathogenic or likely pathogenic germline variants in ten patients and in nine genes, including four copy number aberrations and nine single-nucleotide variants or small indels. Three patients presented as double-mutation carriers involving two different genes each. In five patients (5 of 83; 6% of cohort), we detected causative pathogenic variants in established hereditary breast cancer susceptibility genes (i.e., PALB2, CHEK2, ATM). Five further patients (5 of 83; 6% of cohort) were found to harbor pathogenic variants in genes lacking a firm association with breast cancer susceptibility to date (i.e., Fanconi pathway genes, RECQ family genes, CDKN2A/p14
    Conclusions: Our study details the mutational spectrum in breast cancer patients suggestive of Li-Fraumeni syndrome and indicates the need for intensified research on monoallelic variants in Fanconi pathway and RECQ family genes. Notably, this study further reveals a large portion of still unexplained Li-Fraumeni(-like) cases, warranting comprehensive investigation of recently described candidate genes as well as noncoding regions of the TP53 gene in patients with Li-Fraumeni(-like) syndrome lacking TP53 variants in coding regions.

    Abstract Individuals carrying a pathogenic germline variant in the breast cancer predisposition gene BRCA1 (gBRCA1+) are prone to developing breast cancer. Apart from its well-known role in DNA repair, BRCA1 has been shown to powerfully impact cellular metabolism. While, in general, metabolic reprogramming was named a hallmark of cancer, disrupted metabolism has also been suggested to drive cancer cell evolution and malignant transformation by critically altering microenvironmental tissue integrity. Systemic metabolic effects induced by germline variants in cancer predisposition genes have been demonstrated before. Whether or not systemic metabolic alterations exist in gBRCA1+ individuals independent of cancer incidence has not been investigated yet. We therefore profiled the plasma metabolome of 72 gBRCA1+ women and 72 age-matched female controls, none of whom (carriers and non-carriers) had a prior cancer diagnosis and all of whom were cancer-free during the follow-up period. We detected one single metabolite, pyruvate, and two metabolite ratios involving pyruvate, lactate, and a metabolite of yet unknown structure, significantly altered between the two cohorts. A machine learning signature of metabolite ratios was able to correctly distinguish between gBRCA1+ and controls in ~82%. The results of this study point to innate systemic metabolic differences in gBRCA1+ women independent of cancer incidence and raise the question as to whether or not constitutional alterations in energy metabolism may be involved in the etiology of BRCA1-associated breast cancer.
