Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.4372C>T(p.Gln1458*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,212 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. Q1458Q) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

not provided Pathogenic:2Uncertain:1
This variant is denoted BRCA1 c.4372C>T at the cDNA level and p.Gln1458Ter (Q1458X) at the protein level. The substitution creates a nonsense variant, which changes a Glutamine to a premature stop codon (CAG>TAG) , and is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This variant has been reported in association with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Tang 1999, Caux-Moncoutier 2011, Kang 2014, Wang 2015) and is considered pathogenic. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2
This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 13 of the BRCA1 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in at least 10 individuals affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 19353265, 24578176, 25480878, 28724667, 29752822, 30078507, 30702160, 31124283) and detected in a breast cancer case-control meta-analysis in 2/60466 cases and 0/53461 unaffected individuals (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA1_002211). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of BRCA1 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -
The p.Q1458* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.4372C>T), located in coding exon 12 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 4372. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 12. This alteration has been identified in multiple individuals diagnosed with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Rostagno P et al. J Hum Genet. 2003;48(7):362-6; Kwong A et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2009; 117:683-6; Sun J et al. Clin Cancer Res, 2017 Oct;23:6113-6119; Li A et al. Gynecol Oncol, 2018 10;151:145-152; Bhaskaran SP et al. Int J Cancer, 2019 08;145:962-973; Li JY et al. Int J Cancer, 2019 01;144:281-289; Dorling et al. N Engl J Med. 2021 02;384:428-439). Additionally, this alteration was identified in a large, worldwide study of BRCA1/2 mutation positive families (Rebbeck TR et al. Hum Mutat, 2018 05;39:593-620). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
BRCA1-related cancer predisposition Pathogenic:1
The c.4372C>T (p.Gln1458*) variant of the BRCA1 gene creates an early stop codon. It is predicted to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with breast cancer and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 10340909, 19353265, 21120943, 24578176, 28724667, 29446198, 29752822, 30078507, 30702160). This variant is absent in the general population database gnomAD. This variant has been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 55183). Loss-of-function variants in BRCA1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 21989022, 17661172, 22762150). Therefore, the c.4372C>T (p.Gln1458*) variant of the BRCA1 gene is classified as pathogenic. -
Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Pathogenic:1
This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln1458*) in the BRCA1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in BRCA1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20104584). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer and ovarian cancer (PMID: 28724667, 29446198, 29752822, 30078507, 30702160). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 55183). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
