2022 ASCO Annual Meeting

Myriad Genetics Poster Presentations

Following are the four Myriad posters presented at this year’s annual meeting.

A breast cancer (BC) risk model incorporating Tyrer-Cuzick version 8 (TCv8) and a polygenic risk score for diverse ancestries

(Abstract #366104)

Session Type: Poster Session

Date: Monday, June 6, 2022

Time: 8:00-11:00 a.m. CDT

This is the first breast cancer risk model to include breast density, family history and a polygenic risk score (PRS) based on genetically determined ancestry that is validated for diverse populations. The addition of PRS substantially improved risk stratification over TCv8 alone and may allow for a more personalized approach to breast cancer risk reduction.

Ancestry-specific risk of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) associated with germline pathogenic variants (PV) in hereditary cancer (CA) predisposition genes

(Abstract #377784))

Session Type: Poster Discussion

Date: Monday, June 6, 2022

Time: 4:30-6:00 p.m.; 1:15-4:15 p.m. CDT

In this population of women who had multigene panel testing, pathogenic variants in BRCA1, BRCA2, PALB2, RAD51C, RAD51D, and BARD1 were associated with substantial risk of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). There were no significant differences in pathogenic variant associated TNBC risks across ancestries. TNBC was reported more frequently in women of African ancestry.

Exploring homologous recombination deficiency thresholds for predicting response to platinum-based treatment in triple negative breast cancer

(Abstract #364894)

Session Type: Poster Session

Date: Monday, June 6, 2022

Time: 8:00-11:00 a.m. CDT

This exploratory analysis evaluated the ability of ≥ 33 or ≥ 42 genomic instability score (GIS) thresholds to predict response to platinum-based treatment in patients with triple-negative breast cancer. This study of 204 tumors of mixed BRCA wild-type, BRCA mutations and unknown showed that a GIS of ≥ 33 may be the most appropriate threshold to predict response to platinum-based treatment in patients with TNBC; however, a prospective trial is needed.

Adherence to EndoPredict test scores for extended endocrine therapy management in the prospective EndoPredict Extended Endocrine Trial (EXET)

(Abstract #371368)

Session Type: Poster Session

Date: Monday, June 6, 2022

Time: 8:00 -11:00 a.m. CDT

In this cohort of patients, even when accounting for other clinical factors such as node status, tumor grade, age at diagnosis, and other variables, Myriad’s EndoPredict® Breast Cancer Prognostic Test provided significant information for clinical decisions on extended endocrine therapy.
