Grupo de Genética del Cáncer Hereditario

Nos centramos en el desarrollo clínico de los inhibidores de PARP (iPARP) en el cáncer de mama gBRCA1/2 precoz, así como en las combinaciones novedosas en casos avanzados. La consolidación de nuestra colaboración con el Grupo de Tratamientos Experimentales del VHIO ha dado lugar a una gran colección de xenoinjertos derivados de pacientes (PDX) asociados a BRCA1/2 implantados en ratones atímicos. Estamos utilizando estos modelos murinos para identificar los mecanismos de resistencia a las terapias dirigidas, identificar nuevos biomarcadores y evaluar nuevos tratamientos combinatorios durante la progresión.

Hemos identificado un biomarcador funcional para la sensibilidad al iPARP que ha sido probado preclínicamente y en muestras humanas y ahora estamos recogiendo muestras para una validación clínica más amplia.

Nuestro grupo también está interesado en desentrañar los retos que plantea la implementación de los avances en el diagnóstico de la susceptibilidad al cáncer hereditario y aplicar estos conocimientos a la práctica clínica. En colaboración con el programa de cáncer hereditario del Instituto Catalán de Oncología (ICO), estamos investigando la complejidad genética del cáncer hereditario mediante el análisis multidimensional de un grupo personalizado, así como el impacto psicológico en nuestra población.

La investigación en curso se centra en el papel de los rasgos de personalidad en la predicción del impacto psicológico de los resultados genéticos y la adopción de estrategias de prevención. Hemos recibido financiación para evaluar la estimación del riesgo de cáncer basada en el genoma y los enfoques adaptados al riesgo de cáncer que incorporan el análisis de la puntuación de riesgo poligénico (PRS). Un registro longitudinal nacional de portadores de mutaciones incorpora datos prospectivos para el análisis de los resultados de salud.

Mantenemos nuestro interés en la epidemiología genética del cáncer hereditario de mama y ovario (HBOC), dirigido por una de nuestras investigadoras sénior, Sara Gutiérrez Enríquez. Esta investigación ha arrojado abundante luz sobre la caracterización de nuevas variantes patogénicas en los genes del HBOC y ha proporcionado herramientas discriminatorias para interpretar variantes de significado incierto en los genes BRCA. Nos dedicamos a descifrar el papel de las variantes intrónicas, de empalme y de sentido erróneo en los principales genes del HBOC e investigamos el rendimiento de las secuencias de ARN de lectura larga. Sara Gutiérrez Enríquez también dirige de forma independiente la investigación sobre marcadores genéticos y celulares predictivos de la susceptibilidad a la toxicidad clínica inducida por la radioterapia.

  • Caracterización de nuevos genes del cáncer hereditario de mama y ovario (HBOC), el impacto psicológico de las pruebas multigénicas y la viabilidad de la puntuación de riesgo poligénico (PRS) en el HBOC.
  • Focalización en la respuesta al daño del ADN en el cáncer de mama.
  • Implementación del ensayo RAD51 como biomarcador clínico para la terapia de iPARP y como biomarcador de la deficiencia de reparación de recombinación homóloga (HRR-D) entre los portadores de mutaciones no BRCA y aquellos con variantes de significado incierto (VUS).
  • Evaluación del efecto preventivo del denosumab en la prevención del cáncer de mama en las portadoras de la mutación BRCA1 (ensayo BRCA-P).
  • Mejora del diagnóstico genético del HBOC (investigación traslacional en genética)
  • Identificación de biomarcadores celulares y genómicos como factores predictivos de toxicidad tardía tras la radioterapia (investigación traslacional en genética).
