Breast Cancer Risk after Diagnostic Gene Sequencing (BRIDGES)

Deliverables

A catalogue of (non-)spliceogenic variants

A catalogue of spliceogenic and non-spliceogenic variants (consensus site variants, nonsense variants, and indel variants) causing deleterious or non-deleterious splicing alterations in the 11 BC-HR genes.

Risk model validation

Report on model validation in KARMA and GC-HBOC. The final BOADICEA model will be evaluated in two prospective cohort studies (KARMA and GC-HBOC). Sequencing data from the BRIDGES panel, together with data on the SNP polygenic risk score (PRS), lifestyle risk factors and breast density, will be obtained from ~1,500 cases and 1,500 matched controls. The model will be evaluated for calibration and discrimination, and compared with the existing BOADICEA model.

Results from RIgORouS analysis

Report on the analysis results of the RIgORouS pipeline for 250 VUS.

Risk estimates Panel 1

Report on risk estimates for variants in genes on Panel 1 The principal strategy will be to estimate risks for categories of variants defined by insilico and functional characterization We will estimate hazard ratios using a maximum likelihood approach The advantage of this approach is that the same method can be used for the populationbased and clinicbased studies

Report on BOADICEA-PLUS

Report on BOADICEA-PLUS, including risk estimates for genes on BRIDGES Panel. The BOADICEA online interface will be upgraded to incorporate data on variants in BC genes, in addition to common variants, family history, lifestyle risk factors and breast density, thus providing individualised absolute risk estimates for breast cancer by subtype, and, where possible, other cancers. An interface to allow sequence variant files to be read automatically will be developed. We will provide a direct link to the Alamut database, so that users can query data on the variant classification.

A template for psychological intervention

A report presenting a template for psychological intervention, and a structured psychological evaluation and intervention concept. This will entail a questionnaire addressing the specific psychosocial difficulties and needs that counselees attending cancer genetics clinics in France, Germany and Spain may present during the course of counselling. A specific scoring procedure and interpretation was provided by the PAHC validation study. The intervention concept is to screen and monitor counselees’ needs for additional intervention, and to improve the care provided in genetics clinics according to evolving knowledge, technology and practice.

Predictive value of functional analyses

Report on predictive value of functional analyses in reanalysis of Panel 1 dataset Once functional analysis and detailed insilicostructural predictions have been completed WP4 we will then rederive risk estimates for those Panel 1 genes based an updated classification scheme that incorporates functional predictions BRIDGESv2 We will evaluate for each gene using regression analyses whether functional prediction is associated with risk after adjustment for the insilico prediction Since the genes evaluated in WP4 are all involved in DNA repair and are being subject to similar functional assays it may be feasible to perform global analyses across genes

Survey results of BOADICEA-PLUS

A comprehensive description of survey results of BOADICEA-PLUS users. Online surveys among genetic counselors on the use of BOADICEA-PLUS, by analyzing the number and type of website connections and by using online questionnaires. We will use two validated instruments for our evaluation: the System Usability Scale (SUS) and the Center for Healthcare Evaluation Provider Satisfaction Questionnaire (CHCE-PSQ). These instruments have been recently used to evaluate the uptake of an online tool to guide BRCA1/2 mutation carrier women in their prophylactic surgery decisions.

Combined analysis of exome and gene panel sequencing

A report of the analysis of the data that were used to select the genes for panel 2 (specifically from the combined analysis of COMPLEXO and PERSPECTIVE).

Position report on best practice and recommendations for genetic counselling

Position report on best practice and recommendations for genetic counseling based on the use of BOADICEAPLUS D55 and Task 55

Final Meeting

We will organise a final meeting together with BCAST which will be open to a much wider community than just the consortium members in order to provide a much broader dissemination of project results

Survey results of BOADICEA

A comprehensive description of survey results of current BOADICEA users. Online surveys among genetic counselors on the use of the present BOADICEA tool, by analyzing the number and type of BOADICEA website connections and by using online questionnaires. We will use two validated instruments for our evaluation: the System Usability Scale (SUS) and the Center for Healthcare Evaluation Provider Satisfaction Questionnaire (CHCE-PSQ). These instruments have been recently used to evaluate the uptake of an online tool to guide BRCA1/2 mutation carrier women in their prophylactic surgery decisions.

A high-throughput functional analysis system (RIgORouS)

A high-throughput functional analysis system (RIgORouS) for 11 BC-HR genes. The final analysis pipeline (RIgORouS) exploits three read-out systems (Figure 3.1d): 1. RAD51 foci analysis 2. Analysis of homologous recombination 3. Analysis of sensitivity to PARPi

Validated instruments for the identification of patients with psychological distress

Validated instruments for the identification of patients with psychological distress and structured intervention concept. We will assess the Psychosocial Aspects of Hereditary Cancer (PAHC), and the Distress Thermometer, in women undergoing genetic testing for breast cancer risk in Cancer Genetic Clinics from different EU countries. The PAHC questionnaire is dedicated to cancer genetic clinics, and has recently been validated in Dutch cancer clinics; it will be translated into English, German, French, and Spanish. Moreover, the PAHC will be modified and validated in the same cohort for the evaluation of psychosocial distress in post-test counselling concerning the uptake of preventive measures (postPAHC). A cross-cultural validity of both versions will be performed through the first patients included in the prospective observational study. At least 312 patients will be accrued in the institutes of P7 and P8, according to published recommendations.

A panel of validated minigene-based splicing assays

A panel of validated minigene-based splicing assays for 11 BC-HR genes. We will synthesize minigenes covering all exons for the selected BC-HR genes. Constructs will be transfected into human epithelial (breast cancer) cell lines. RNA will be extracted and minigene transcripts will be amplified using plasmid-specific primers and analysed by CEP and Sanger sequencing.

A catalogue of naturally occurring alternative splicing

A catalogue of naturally occurring alternative splicing events in lymphocytes and epithelial breast tissue in 11 BC-HR genes. We will use GENCODE annotations (retrieved from Ensemble) to predict alternative splicing events occurring in the 11 BC-HR genes. This information will be used to design a set of overlapping cDNA amplicons covering the full-length reference transcript of each gene. Subsequently, RNA from lymphocytes (healthy blood donors) and from normal breast tissue (either commercially available or from cosmetic surgery) will be used for analysis of RT-PCR amplicons by capillary electrophoresis (CEP) and direct sequencing by Sanger. This will yield a catalogue of alternative splicing for each of the BC-HR genes, as well as tissue-specific differences therein.

Patient decision aid for counselees

A patient decision aid PDA will be developed in a multidisciplinary team including patients We will first assess the content of a PDA for the uptake of preventive measures in women with moderate disease risk and define topic content target audience distribution strategy and objectives of the information Then we will establish content based on a literature review user expectations and other sources of information and develop the PDA based on the methods of evidencebased medicine and established quality criteria DISCERN IPDAS and others The PDA will be tested for readability understanding and presentation ie of risks and an option grid wwwoptiongridorg will be designed to help counselors and counselees talk about how best to handle disease risk with a strong focus on evidencebased preventive measures

An e-Learning tool for genetic counsellors

An elearning tool for counselors in the posttest setting including a video tutorial and a manual will be developed in three steps 1 a systematic literature review will be conducted to identify evidencebased counseling programs and routinely used information formats for posttest counseling for health care professionals 2 results from the questionnaire for BOADICEA users will be considered in order to grip users needs 3 validation of the prototype in focus group discussions with genetic counsellors and patients at risk for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome We plan on 6 to 10 focus groups based on selective sampling Each group will comprise between 6 to 10 participants Cancer family clinics from different countries will be invited to participate The number of focus groups will depend on the achievement of a theoretical saturation of 80 An interview guide will be developed to advice focus group interviews Interviews will be taped transcribed verbatim and evaluated using the software MAXQDA

Dissemination of variants

Dissemination of sequence variants in public domain through locusspecific Leiden Opensource Variant databases LOVD All variants detected in the genes analyzed in the 60000 individuals will be deposited in the public domain through genespecific LOVD databases

Upgraded Alamut Tool

Online Alamut tool upgraded with risk estimates from BRIDGES The results from risk analyses D31 D33 will be used to provide summary evaluations of the evidence for each geneclass being associated with risk and the relative risk of breast cancer and other cancers associated with each variant These results will be made available through the Alamut genome browser

Project Website

Launch of project website with information on project related matters for the general public and a passwordprotected part for members of the consortium
