Patients were tested for BCRA1/2 germline mutations upfront, followed by testing of tumour specimens for somatic mutations using NGS.Results 9 cases had gBRCA1/2 pathogenic mutations: 5 HGSC had gBRCA1, 3 HGSC and 1 EdAd had gBRCA2. 7 cases had sBRCA1/2 mutations: 4 gBRCA1 and 3 gBRCA2 HGSC had sBRCA1 and sBRCA2 respectively. EdAd gBRCA had no somatic mutations; 1 HGSC patient with gBRCA had no sBRCA mutations. 1 HGSC wild-type gBRCA showed pathogenic sBRCA1 frameshift mutation. 2 EdAd and 1 CCC wild-type gBRCA showed sBRCA1/2 mutations of unknown clinical significance. LGSC, carcinosaromas and mucinous carcinoma were wild-type gBRCA with no somatic mutations detected.Conclusions Detection of both germline and somatic BRCA1/2 mutations is required for effective PARP inhibitors treatment. Somatic tests should be offered to increase the number of patients suitable for targeted therapy. The consistency of gBRCA uptake (13%) was in keeping with published data, whereas the sBRCA uptake was 11.4%, which is less than the expected 15%. More research into cases with sBRCA1/2 mutations of unknown clinical significance is warranted.
