110TiPPREvalence of BRCA mutations and correlations with Demographic and clinical characteristICs in paTients with ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer in Romania (PREDICT)

Background: The epidemiology of ovarian cancer in Romania is not well characterized and only few limited regional data are available. Moreover, the BRCA status in patients with homologous recombination-deficient tumorsis not known and no data about dominant founder mutations exist. BRCA1/2 are tumor suppression genes critical to DNA repair through homologous recombination in response to DNA damage. Around 13% of high-grade serous ovarian cancers is attributable to germline BRCA mutations.
