Objective |
BRCA1 promoter methylation (BRCA1pm) is suspected to alter prognosis of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). We aimed to evaluate the prognostic impact of this epigenetic modification.
Methods |
We conducted a retrospective, monocentric study from 11/2006 to 08/2018. Patients with EOC and available status concerning somatic BRCA1/2 mutation and BRCA1pm were included. Three groups were defined: patients without BRCA1/2 mutation or BRCA1pm, patients with BRCA1/2 mutation and patients with BRCA1pm. BRCA1/2 mutations were analyzed in current care settings by next-generation sequencing (NGS). BRCA1pm analysis was assessed and quantified from bisulfite converted DNAs using fluorescent methylation specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and fragment analysis. All patients signed a consent form and the study was authorized by a Personal Protection Committee. Descriptive statistics were used to describe groups. Multivariate analysis was performed using the logistic regression model and including the variables that could be known at the time of diagnosis and that were significant at univariate analysis. Survival was compared between the groups. Kaplan-Mayer curves were used to express the differences in survival that were compared using log rank tests.
Results |
145 patients were included: 95 (65.5 %) patients without BRCA1/2 mutation or BRCA1pm, 32 (22.1 %) patients with BRCA1/2 mutation, 18 (12.4 %) patients with BRCA1pm. Median survival was decreased in patients with BRCA1pm. Comparison of survival revealed a significant difference in overall survival (p = 0.0078) with a worse prognosis for patients with a BRCA1pm.
Conclusion |
BRCA1pm in patients with EOC is an independent factor associated with a decreased overall survival.
Synopsis |
BRCA1 promotor methylation in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer is an independent factor associated with a decreased overall survival.
