This study investigated the genomic landscape of tumors from patients with inherited mutations in DNA repair genes. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between locus-specific loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and genomic signatures of homologous recombination-based DNA repair (HR) deficiency in tumors associated with pathogenic germline variants in DNA repair genes. Cohorts of pathogenic germline variant (PGV) carriers with different cancer types were identified via a cancer genetics registry and clinical practice at Penn Medicine and through our collaborator network. Tumors were analyzed with next generation sequencing (whole exome and/or targeted panel sequencing) with or without transcriptomic analyses. Sub-study #1 "Non-breast/ovarian tumors in germline BRCA1/2 carriers". This study investigated primary non-breast/ovarian tumors that arise in individuals with <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/672">BRCA1</a>/<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/675">BRCA2</a> pathogenic germline variants (PGVs). Whole exome sequencing (WES) using Agilent All-Exon Kit v7 hybrid capture probes was performed on matched tumor and blood germline normal DNA on an Illumina HiSeq. Individual WES data from DNA samples from tumor and normal are available. Sub-study #2: "Breast tumors in germline CHEK2 carriers". This study investigated primary breast tumors that arise in individuals with <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/11200">CHEK2</a> pathogenic germline variants (PGVs). Whole exome sequencing (WES) using Agilent All-Exon Kit v7 hybrid capture probes was performed on matched tumor and blood germline normal DNA on an Illumina HiSeq. Whole transcriptome RNAseq was performed on tumors. Individual WES data from DNA samples from tumor and normal and RNAseq data from tumor are available. Sub-study #3: "Breast tumors in germline TP53 carriers". This study investigated primary breast tumors that arise in individuals with <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/7157">TP53</a> pathogenic germline variants (PGVs). Whole genome sequencing (WGS) and/or custom panel targeted sequencing was performed on matched tumor and blood germline normal DNA on an Illumina HiSeq. Whole transcriptome RNAseq was performed on tumors and normal breast tissue. Individual WGS or targeted data from DNA samples from tumor and normal and RNASeq data from tumor and normal are available. Sub-study #4: "Prostate tumors in germline DNA repair carriers". This study investigated prostate tumors that arise in individuals with a variety of pathogenic germline variants (PGVs). Whole genome sequencing (WGS) and/or custom panel targeted sequencing was performed on matched tumor and blood germline normal DNA on an Illumina HiSeq. Whole transcriptome RNAseq was performed on tumors and normal prostate tissue. Individual WGS or targeted data from DNA samples from tumor and normal and RNASeq data from tumor and normal are available.
