Low BRCA1 gene expression is associated with
increased invasiveness and influences the response of
breast carcinoma (BC) to chemotherapeutics. However,
expression of BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes has not been
completely characterized in premenopausal BC. We analyzed
the clinical and immunohistochemical correlates of
BRCA1 and BRCA2 expression in young BC women. We
studied 62 women (mean age 38.8 years) who developed
BC before the age of 45 years. BRCA1 and BRCA2 mRNA
expression was assessed by reverse transcriptase-polymerase
chain reaction (RT-PCR) and that of HER-2 and
p53 proteins by immunohistochemistry. Body mass index
(BMI) C27 (52%) and a declared family history of BC
(26%) were the main risk factors. Ductal infiltrative adenocarcinoma
was found in 86% of the cases (tumor size
[5 cm in 48%). Disease stages I–IV occurred in 2, 40, 55,
and 3%, respectively (73% implicating lymph nodes).
Women aged B35 years (24%) had more family history of
cervical cancer, stage III/IV disease, HER-2 positivity, and
lower BRCA1 expression than older women (P-.05).
BRCA1 and BRCA2 expression correlated in healthy, but
not in tumor tissues (TT). Neither BRCA1 nor BRCA2
expression was associated with tumor histology, differentiation,
nodal metastasis or p53 and HER-2 expression.
After multivariate analysis, only disease stage explained
BRCA1 mRNA levels in the lowest quartile. Premenopausal
BC has aggressive clinical and molecular
characteristics. Low BRCA1 mRNA expression is associated
mainly with younger ages and advanced clinical stage
of premenopausal BC. BRCA2 expression is not associated
with disease severity in young BC women.
