HER2 and BARD1 Polymorphisms in Early HER2-Positive Breast Cancer Patients: Relationship with Response to Neoadjuvant Anti-HER2 Treatment
The addition to chemotherapy of anti-HER2 drugs such as trastuzumab or pertuzumab has improved outcomes in HER2-positive breast cancer patients. However, resistance to these drugs in some patients remains a major concern. This study examines the possible association between the response to neoadjuva...

| Sumario: | The addition to chemotherapy of anti-HER2 drugs such as trastuzumab or pertuzumab has improved outcomes in HER2-positive breast cancer patients. However, resistance to these drugs in some patients remains a major concern. This study examines the possible association between the response to neoadjuvant anti-HER2 treatment in breast cancer patients and the presence of 28 SNPs in 17 genes involved in different cell processes (PON1, CAT, GSTP1, FCGR3, ATM, PIK3CA, HER3, BARD1, LDB2, BRINP1, chr6 intergenic region, RAB22A, TRPC6, LINC01060, EGFR, ABCB1, and HER2). Tumor samples from 50 women with early breast cancer were genotyped using the iPlex®Gold chemistry and MassARRAY platform, and patients were classified as good responders (Miller–Payne tumor grades 4–5) and poor responders (Miller–Payne tumor grades 1–3), as assessed upon surgery after 6 months of treatment. Proportions of patients with the HER2Ala1170Pro (rs1058808) SNP double mutation were higher in good (58.62%) than poor (20%) responders (p = 0.025). Similarly, proportions of patients carrying the synonymous SNP rs2070096 (BARD1Thr351=) (wv + vv) were higher in patients showing a pathological complete response (46.67%) than in those not showing this response (15.15%) (p = 0.031). The SNPs rs1058808 (HER2Ala1170Pro) and rs2070096 (BARD1Thr351=) were identified here as potential biomarkers of a good response to anti-HER2 treatment. |
