Backgrounds: Breast (BR), ovarian (OV), and pancreatic (PA) cancers were defined as BRCA-associated cancers in this study. The incidence of double primary BRCA-associated cancers (DPBRCA) is less than 1% among breast cancer patients (pts), so their genetic backgrounds and optimal treatments remain unclear. Methods: We performed whole exome sequencing of 50 normal and 50 tumor tissues from 50 DPBRCA pts diagnosed between 2008-20. Loss of heterogeneity (LOH) scores which reflect homologous recombination (HR) deficiency was calculated in tumors. Results: DPBRCA derived from BR & OV, BR & PA, and OV & PA in 37, 11 and 2 pts, respectively. The median age was 61 (26-79). Twenty-four pts (48%) had germline, pathogenic mutations in BRCA1 (n=13), BRCA2 (n=9), ATM(n=1), TP53 (n=1), MRE11 (n=1), BLM (n=1), and TET2 (n=1), and 3 pts (6%) had two of these mutations. Among the other 26 pts, a germline variant of LMO2 was found as a sole candidate in a pt with BR & PA cancers. In addition, she experienced diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) twice in breast and stomach. LMO2 is known as a prognostic factor in DLBCL, also interacts with 53BP1 to inhibit HR and confers synthetic lethality to PARP inhibition in DLBCL (Parvin, 2019, Cancer Cell). The variant allele frequency (VAF) was higher in breast tumor (68%) than that in blood (52%) and the LOH score was as high as 24% in the breast tumor. Conclusions: The pts with DPBRCA had germline mutations in a high frequency. A novel variant in LMO2 might cause DLBCL and BRCA-associated cancers which are responsive to PARP inhibitors.
