Abstract (EN): Prostate cancer (PrCa) is one of the three most frequent and deadliest cancers worldwide. The discovery of PARP inhibitors for the treatment of tumors with deleterious variants in homologous recombination repair (HRR) genes has placed PrCa on the roadmap of precision medicine. However, the overall contribution of HRR genes to the 10%-20% of carcinomas arising in men with early-onset/familial PrCa has not been fully clarified. We used targeted next-generation sequencing (T-NGS) covering eight HRR genes (ATM, BRCA1, BRCA2, BRIP1, CHEK2, NBN, PALB2, and RAD51C) and an analysis pipeline querying both small and large genomic variations to clarify their global and relative contribution to hereditary PrCa predisposition in a series of 462 early-onset/familial PrCa cases. Deleterious variants were found in 3.9% of the patients, with CHEK2 and ATM being the most frequently mutated genes (38.9% and 22.2% of the carriers, respectively), followed by PALB2 and NBN (11.1% of the carriers, each), and finally by BRCA2, RAD51C, and BRIP1 (5.6% of the carriers, each). Using the same NGS data, exonic rearrangements were found in two patients, one pathogenic in BRCA2 and one of unknown significance in BRCA1. These results contribute to clarify the genetic heterogeneity that underlies PrCa predisposition in the early-onset and familial disease, respectively.
