Genes affected

BRCA1 (HGNC:1100): (BRCA1 DNA repair associated) This gene encodes a 190 kD nuclear phosphoprotein that plays a role in maintaining genomic stability, and it also acts as a tumor suppressor. The BRCA1 gene contains 22 exons spanning about 110 kb of DNA. The encoded protein combines with other tumor suppressors, DNA damage sensors, and signal transducers to form a large multi-subunit protein complex known as the BRCA1-associated genome surveillance complex (BASC). This gene product associates with RNA polymerase II, and through the C-terminal domain, also interacts with histone deacetylase complexes. This protein thus plays a role in transcription, DNA repair of double-stranded breaks, and recombination. Mutations in this gene are responsible for approximately 40% of inherited breast cancers and more than 80% of inherited breast and ovarian cancers. Alternative splicing plays a role in modulating the subcellular localization and physiological function of this gene. Many alternatively spliced transcript variants, some of which are disease-associated mutations, have been described for this gene, but the full-length natures of only some of these variants has been described. A related pseudogene, which is also located on chromosome 17, has been identified. [provided by RefSeq, May 2020]

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Oct 04, 2023	This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 12 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 an individual affected with breast or ovarian cancer and multiple suspected hereditary breast and ovarian cancer families (PMID: 29446198, 30702160, 31825140). 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. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Sep 13, 2023	The p.Q1401* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.4201C>T), located in coding exon 11 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 4201. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 11. In one study, this alteration was observed in 1/1525 unrelated patients who had BRCA1/2 testing due to a personal and/or family history suspicious for HBOC (Caux-Moncoutier V et al. Hum. Mutat. 2011 Mar;32:325-34). 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. -

Mar 07, 2023

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 55139). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with personal and/or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 21120943, 29446198, 30702160, 31825140). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln1401*) 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). -
