Breast cancer susceptibility genes 1 and 2 ( BRCA1  and  BRCA2 ) are known biomarkers for hereditary ovarian cancer (OC). However, a comprehensive association study between  BRCA1/2  mutation spectrum and clinicopathological characteristics in Chinese ovarian cancer patients has not been performed yet to our best knowledge. To fill in this gap, we collected  BRCA1/2  sequencing data and clinical information of 141 OC patients from Fujian Cancer Hospital between April 2018 and March 2020. The clinical information includes the age of onset, FIGO staging, pathological types, serum 125 detection level, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, the expression of Ki67, and disease history of the patient and his/her family. We then studied their associations by software SciPy 1.0. As a result, we detected pathogenic and potentially pathogenic  BRCA1/2  mutations in 27 out of 141 patients (19.15%). Among the 27 patients with mutations, the major type of mutation was frameshift, which was observed in 12 patients (44.4%). Most of the mutation sites were distributed on exons 10 and 11, accounting for 48.1% (13/27) and 22.2% (6/27), respectively. In terms of histological classification, high-grade serous adenocarcinoma accounted for 79.43% of the 141 samples. The  BRCA1/2  mutation group was all high-grade serous adenocarcinoma, accounting for 24.1% (27/112) of this group. The incidence of pathogenic mutation in  BRCA1  and  BRCA2  was 15.7% (19/112) and 7.27% (8/112), respectively. Univariate analysis showed that there was no significant difference between patients with  BRCA1/2  mutation and others in age-of-onset, FIGO stage, pathological types, serum CA125 level, lymph node metastasis, the expression of Ki67, and personal and family disease history. However, there are significant differences between patients with  BRCA1/2  mutation and others in distant metastasis rate ( P  < 0.002). In addition, the  BRCA1/2  mutation rate in 141 ovarian cancer patients was similar to those reported in other studies in China. Nearly one-quarter of high-grade serous carcinomas had BRCA1/2 mutations. In conclusion, our study indicated that patients with BRCA1/2 mutations were more likely to undergo distant metastasis, and BRCA1/2 mutation detection should be performed for patients with high-grade serous adenocarcinoma to guide the selection of clinical treatment options.
