RESUMEN

Less than 15-20% of patients who meet the criteria for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) carry pathogenic coding genetic mutations, implying that other molecular mechanisms may contribute to the increased risk of this condition. DNA methylation in peripheral blood has been suggested as a potential epigenetic marker for the risk of breast cancer (BC). We aimed to discover methylation marks in peripheral blood associated with BC in 231 pre-treatment BC patients meeting HBOC criteria, testing negative for coding pathogenic variants, and 156 healthy controls, through methylation analysis by targeted bisulfite sequencing on 18 tumor suppressor gene promoters (330 CpG sites). We found i) hypermethylation in EPCAM (17 CpG sites; p = 0.017) and RAD51C (27 CpG sites; p = 0.048); ii) hypermethylation in 36 CpG-specific sites (FDR q < 0.05) in the BC patients; iii) four specific CpG sites were associated with a higher risk of BC (FDR q < 0.01, Bonferroni p < 0.001): cg89786999-FANCI (OR = 1.65; 95% CI:1.2-2.2), cg23652916-PALB2 (OR = 2.83; 95% CI:1.7-4.7), cg47630224-MSH2 (OR = 4.17; 95% CI:2.1-8.5), and cg47596828-EPCAM (OR = 1.84; 95% CI:1.5-2.3). Validation of cg47630224-MSH2 methylation in one Australian cohort showed an association with 3-fold increased BC risk (AUC: 0.929; 95% CI: 0.904-0.955). Our findings suggest that four DNA methylation CpG sites may be associated with a higher risk of BC, potentially serving as biomarkers in patients without detectable coding mutations.
