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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 17-43090943-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-43090943-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 186395.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr17-43090943-C-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic]. Variant chr17-43090943-C-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

The c.4185+1G>A intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 10 of the BRCA1 gene. Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. RNA studies have shown that this alteration results in coding exon 10 skipping (Ambry internal data; Steffensen AY et al. Eur J Hum Genet 2014 Dec;22(12):1362-8). Another alteration impacting the same donor site (c.4185G>A) has been shown to have a similar impact on splicing (Wappenschmidt B et al. PLoS One. 2012;7(12):e50800). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 11 of the BRCA1 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in BRCA1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20104584). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 28176296, 30078507, 30702160, 30972954). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 186395). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site alters mRNA splicing and is expected to lead to the loss of protein expression (PMID: 24667779). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
