OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The estimates of unbiased first-degree relatives (FDRs) risk of cancers would enhance genetic counseling of at-risk FDRs in families where the pancreatic cancer (PC) proband carrying a germline variant. This study aims at quantifying gene-specific risks of six cancers among FDRs of PC patients with germline variants in cancer-associated genes.

METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: In the prospective, clinic-based Mayo Clinic Biospecimen Resource for Pancreas Research registry, 4,562 PC patients had previously undergone germline genetic testing for pancreatic cancer-associated genes through either research studies or clinical testing. Of these, 234 PC probands were found to carry germline pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants (PLPV) among 9 genes of interest and had provided detailed demographic and cancer data on their FDRs by questionnaire. We focused on six cancer types (ovary, breast, uterus, pancreas, colon, and malignant melanoma) in FDRs as reported by the probands. Standardized incidence ratios were calculated to estimate risk of six cancers among FDRs of PC patients carrying PLPV by gene.

RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: 1,670 FDRs (mean age 58.1+17.8SD; 48.9% female) were included in the study. We found significantly increased risk of ovarian cancer in female FDRs of PC probands who carry PLPV in BRCA1 (SIR 9.49, 95%CI:3.06-22.14) or BRCA2 (3.72, 95%CI:1.36-8.11), and breast cancer risks were higher with BRCA2 (2.62, 95%CI:1.89-3.54). Uterine cancer risk was increased in FDRs of PC probands who carry PLPV for Lynch Syndrome mismatch repair (MMR) (6.53, 95%CI:2.81-12.86). PC risk was also increased (ATM 4.53, 95% CI:2.69-7.16; BRCA2 3.45, 95%CI:1.72-6.17; CDKN2A 7.38, 95%CI:3.18-14.54; PALB2 5.39, 95%CI:1.45-13.79). Increased colon cancer risk was observed in FDRs of probands who carried MMR PLPV (5.83, 95%CI:3.70-8.75), while melanoma risk was elevated for FDRs of probands with CDKN2A PLPV (7.47, 95%CI:3.97-12.77).

DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: PLPV in nine syndrome-associated genes in PC probands are associated with increased risk of six cancers in FDRs. The findings underscore the importance of risk estimation of various other cancers in PC families for screening, early detection, intervention, and cascade genetic testing.
