PurposeOur aim was to find an appropriate method to estimate the likelihood that a family history of cancer was a result of a mutation in theBRCA1orBRCA2genes. We also compared the performance of the established method with three different methods (Couch, Sh-E and BRCApro) to identify an alternative strategy for genetic council targeted to the specified population.Patients and methodsThe family history as well as individual information of two hundred unrelated probands who had completedBRCA1andBRCA2mutation screening was analyzed to assess the likelihood of a pathogenic mutation. A model was developed by empirical method. The performance of this model was validated in a separate patient cohort compared with BRCApro.ResultsSeveral factors were associated with mutations in univariate analysis and a logistic model was devised to estimate the probability for a proband of harboring a mutation in BRCA1 and/or BRCA2. Using a greater than 10% probability threshold, the highest accuracy was achieved by the established model when compared to other three models, presenting the highest sensitivity, PPV, NPV and area under ROC curve. The empirical model showed a better ROC curve compared to BRCApro in the verification cohort.ConclusionA probability model targeted to Han Chinese population should be a useful tool in the genetic counseling for the specified ethnic. Its ability to predict BRCA2 mutation carriers needs to be improved.
