CDKN2A germline alterations and the relevance of genotype-phenotype associations in cancer predisposition.
Although CDKN2A is well-known as a susceptibility gene for melanoma and pancreatic cancer, germline variants have also been anecdotally associated with a broader range of neoplasms including neural system tumors, head and neck squamous cell carcinomas, breast carcinomas, as well as sarcomas. The CDKN2A gene encodes for two distinct tumor suppressor proteins, p16INK4A and p14ARF, however, the independent association of germline alterations affecting these two proteins with cancer is under-appreciated. Here, we reviewed CDKN2A germline alterations reported among individuals and families with cancer in the literature, specifically addressing the cancer phenotypes in relation to the molecular consequence on p16INK4A and p14ARF. While melanoma is observed to associate with variants affecting both p16INK4A and p14ARF transcripts, it is noted that variants affecting p14ARF are more frequently observed with a heterogenous range of cancers. Finally, we reflected on the implications of this inferred genotype-phenotype association in clinical practice and proposed that clinical management of CDKN2A germline variant carriers should involve dedicated cancer genetics services, with multidisciplinary input from various healthcare professionals.
期刊介绍:
Hereditary Cancer in Clinical Practice is an open access journal that publishes articles of interest for the cancer genetics community and serves as a discussion forum for the development appropriate healthcare strategies.
Cancer genetics encompasses a wide variety of disciplines and knowledge in the field is rapidly growing, especially as the amount of information linking genetic differences to inherited cancer predispositions continues expanding. With the increased knowledge of genetic variability and how this relates to cancer risk there is a growing demand not only to disseminate this information into clinical practice but also to enable competent debate concerning how such information is managed and what it implies for patient care.
Topics covered by the journal include but are not limited to:
Original research articles on any aspect of inherited predispositions to cancer.
Reviews of inherited cancer predispositions.
Application of molecular and cytogenetic analysis to clinical decision making.
Clinical aspects of the management of hereditary cancers.
Genetic counselling issues associated with cancer genetics.
The role of registries in improving health care of patients with an inherited predisposition to cancer.
