DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Genetic risk prediction models such as BRCAPRO play a critical role in identification and management of women who carry mutations of breast cancer genes BRCA1 and BRCA2. Although BRCAPRO is widely used in genetic counseling, an impediment to its use in primary care is the fact that it requires potentially extensive information on counselee and her family history to estimate the carrier probabilities of BRCA1/2 genes. On the other hand, primary care settings such as mammography centers are ideal for identifying women at high risk for breast and ovarian cancers at a large population level. As a big proportion of women who are at high risk typically are unaware of their risk, implementing risk prediction models in primary care can make a huge impact in identification and management of genetically pre-disposed women. To bring BRCAPRO to this level, we need to balance the tradeoff between the amount of information used and accuracy achieved. With this motivation, we propose a two-stage approach. In the first stage, only a limited amount of family history information will be collected and that data will be analyzed using a simpler version of BRCAPRO or other simpler models. If the assessed risk at this stage is sufficiently high, full version of BRCAPRO will be used in the second stage to obtain more accurate estimates. We propose several first stage tools that vary by the amount of information they require. In some of these tools, we augment the collected information by imputing the missing (unasked) information such as the current ages of unaffected relatives or the unaffected relatives themselves, which BRCAPRO can utilize to make potentially more accurate prediction. We will compare the first stage tools in terms of their sensitivities, specificities, and other related statistics at a range of cutoffs, and area under the ROC curve (AUC). Further, we develop a methodology to evaluate the overall performance of the two-stage approach that takes into account the fact that the second stage results are conditional on those of the first stage. In particular, we derive the overall sensitivity, specificity, and AUC of the approach. After developing the approach, we plan to validate it on an independent set of data. Our total sample exceeds 6,000 families and come from a wide range of sources - Cancer Genetics Network, University of Texas (UT) MD Anderson Cancer Center, UT Southwestern Medical Center, Newton-Wellesley Hospital, St. Barnabas Health Care system, Yale University, Middlesex Hospital, and Bermuda Cancer Genetics and Risk Assessment Program. We will also implement the approach in BayesMendel and HughesRiskApps software.

描述（由申请人提供）：遗传风险预测模型（如BRCAPRO）在识别和管理携带乳腺癌基因BRCA 1和BRCA 2突变的女性中发挥关键作用。虽然BRCAPRO广泛用于遗传咨询，但在初级保健中使用的障碍是，它需要咨询者及其家族史的潜在广泛信息来估计BRCA 1/2基因的携带概率。另一方面，初级保健机构，如乳房X光检查中心是理想的，以确定妇女在高风险的乳腺癌和卵巢癌在一个大的人口水平。由于高风险妇女中有很大一部分通常不知道自己的风险，在初级保健中实施风险预测模型可以对识别和管理遗传易感妇女产生巨大影响。为了使BRCAPRO达到这一水平，我们需要在所使用的信息量和所达到的准确性之间取得平衡。基于这一动机，我们提出了一个两阶段的方法。在第一阶段，将只收集有限数量的家族史信息，并使用更简单版本的BRCAPRO或其他更简单的模型分析数据。如果在此阶段评估的风险足够高，将在第二阶段使用完整版本的BRCAPRO以获得更准确的估计值。我们提出了几个第一阶段的工具，它们所需要的信息量不同。在其中一些工具中，我们通过估算缺失的（未询问的）信息来增加收集的信息，例如未受影响的亲属的当前年龄或未受影响的亲属本身，BRCAPRO可以利用这些信息来进行更准确的预测。我们将比较第一阶段工具在一系列截止值下的灵敏度、特异性和其他相关统计数据以及ROC曲线下面积（AUC）。此外，我们开发了一种方法来评估的两阶段的方法，考虑到第二阶段的结果是有条件的第一阶段的整体性能。特别是，我们推导出该方法的总体灵敏度、特异性和AUC。在开发出这种方法之后，我们计划在一组独立的数据上对其进行验证。我们的样本总数超过6，000个家庭，来自广泛的来源-癌症遗传学网络，德克萨斯大学（UT）MD安德森癌症中心，UT西南医学中心，牛顿-韦尔斯利医院，圣巴纳巴斯医疗保健系统，耶鲁大学，米德尔塞克斯医院和百慕大癌症遗传学和风险评估计划。我们还将在BayesMendel和HughesRiskApps软件中实现该方法。
