    Objectives:The aim was to point out the importance of the diagnosis rate of breast cancer (BC) by analyzing the cancer predisposition genes except BRCA1/2 with multigene testing. Methods: In this study, 232 non-BRCA cases with BC and/or BC family history (FH) were analyzed using the next-generation sequencing method. Results: Twenty-two different pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants were determined in 24 (10.34%) of cases, and these variants were detected in the CHEK2 (7/24, 29.1%), ATM (5/24, 20.8%), MUTYH (3/24, 12.5%), BLM (2/24, 8.3%), WRN (2/24, 8.3%), TP53 (1/24, 4.1%), BRIP1 (1/24, 4.1%), MSH2 (1/24, 4.1%), NBN (1/24, 4.1%), and PTEN (1/24, 4.1%) genes including three novel variants which were identified in the BLM, ATM, and MSH2 (3/22, 13.6%) genes. Fourteen of 24 (58.3%) cases had BC diagnosis, and 10 of 24 (41.6%) cases had a FH of BC. Conclusion: Among non-BRCA BC and/or BC FH cases, cancer susceptibility gene frequency was 10.34% in this study. CHEK2 and ATM genes had relatively high mutation rates.

    Long-range cis-regulatory elements controlling GDF6 expression are essential for ear development

    Molecular mechanisms governing the development of the mammalian cochlea, the hearing organ, remain largely unknown. Through genome sequencing in 3 subjects from 2 families with nonsyndromic cochlear aplasia, we identified homozygous 221-kb and 338-kb deletions in a noncoding region on chromosome 8 with an approximately 200-kb overlapping section. Genomic location of the overlapping deleted region started from approximately 350 kb downstream of GDF6, which codes for growth and differentiation factor 6. Otic lineage cells differentiated from induced pluripotent stem cells derived from an affected individual showed reduced expression of GDF6 compared with control cells. Knockout of Gdf6 in a mouse model resulted in cochlear aplasia, closely resembling the human phenotype. We conclude that GDF6 plays a necessary role in early cochlear development controlled by cis-regulatory elements located within an approximately 500-kb region of the genome in humans and that its disruption leads to deafness due to cochlear aplasia.
