Why consider genetic testing for prostate cancer?

According to a recent NEJM study:

  • >11%  of men with metastatic prostate cancer have an inherited mutation
  • Patients with metastatic prostate cancer are 4X more likely to have a BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation
  • 40.3%  of men with BRCA2 mutations are more likely to develop advanced prostate cancer
  • Family history alone cannot reliably predict an inherited DNA-repair defect that may have risk of disease associated with metastatic prostate cancer

Invitae Prostate Cancer Panel

This test analyzes up to 14 genes associated with a hereditary predisposition to prostate cancer.

  • Primary panel: ATM, BRCA1, BRCA2, CHEK2, EPCAM, HOXB13, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, NBN, PMS2, TP53
  • Add-on preliminary evidence genes: PALB2, RAD51D

The most frequent pathogenic variants detected in men with prostate cancer are in BRCA1, BRCA2, MSH2, and HOXB13.  

  • HOXB13 increases lifetime risk up to 60%
  • BRCA1 and BRCA2 increase lifetime risk by about 20%
