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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano	Jun 17, 2024	The BRCA1 c.1961del (p.(Lys654Serfs*47) variant alters the translational reading frame of the BRCA1 mRNA and causes the premature termination of BRCA1 protein synthesis. This variant has been reported in the published literature in numerous individuals with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMIDs: 32341426 (2020), 30720863 (2019), 30606148 (2019), 30350268 (2018), 30014164 (2018), 29928469 (2018), 23633455 (2013)) as well as endometrial cancer (PMID:17645508 (2008)) and male breast cancer (PMID: 26026974 (2015)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000023 (3/128744 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is consistent with pathogenicity. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (URL: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar, Variation ID: 37438). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Pathogenic:7

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina	Jun 14, 2016	The c.1961delA (p.Lys654SerfsTer47) variant (also commonly referred to as c.2080delA) results in a frameshift, and is predicted to result in premature termination of the protein. Across a selection of the available literature, the p.Lys654SerfsTer47 variant has been identified in a heterozygous state in 29 cases of breast or ovarian cancer (Gayther et al. 1995; Risch et al. 2001; Curci et al. 2002; Diez et al. 2003; Martinez-Ferrandis et al. 2003; Ahn et al. 2007; Kwon et al. 2008; Iyevleva et al. 2010; Kim et al. 2012; Kang et al. 2015; de Juan Jiminez et al. 2013; George et al. 2013; Abugattas et al. 2014; Silva et al. 2014). The variant was absent from 100 controls and is reported at a frequency of 0.00002 in the European (Non-Finnish) population of the Exome Aggregation Consortium Project but this is based on one allele so the variant is presumed to be rare. Most variants in the BRCA1 gene that have been shown to be associated with breast and ovarian cancer are frameshift variants resulting in a non-functional protein. Based on the potential impact of frameshift variants and the available evidence, the p.Lys654SerfsTer47 variant is classified as pathogenic for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Jul 23, 2020	Variant summary: BRCA1 c.1961delA (p.Lys654SerfsX47) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 250730 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1961delA has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (e.g. Gayther_1995, Grushko_2004, Alsop_2012, de Juan_2015, Rebbeck_2018). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Sixteen ClinVar submitters including an expert panel (ENIGMA) (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic, while one ClinVar submitter (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jan 18, 2024	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys654Serfs*47) 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). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast, ovarian, and endometrial cancer (PMID: 7493024, 12955716, 17645508, 23633455, 26026974). This variant is also known as 2073delA and 2080delA. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37438). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Jun 21, 2024	The c.1961delA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 1961, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.K654Sfs*47). This mutation has been reported numerous times in the literature in breast and breast/ovarian cancer families, including in a case of male breast cancer (Gayther SA et al. Nat. Genet. 1995 Dec;11(4):428-33; George J et al. Clin. Cancer Res. 2013 Jul;19(13):3474-84; de Juan Jiménez I et al. Fam. Cancer. 2013 Dec;12(4):767-77; Abugattas J et al. Clin. Genet. 2015 Oct;88(4):371-5; de Juan I et al. Fam. Cancer, 2015 Dec;14:505-13; Meisel C et al. Arch Gynecol Obstet. 2017 May;295(5):1227-1238). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 2080delA in published literature. 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. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Sep 20, 2023	This variant deletes 1 nucleotide in exon 10 of the BRCA1 gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This variant is also known as 2073delA in the literature. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been observed in over 20 individuals and families affected with breast, ovarian and endometrial cancer (PMID: 7493024, 11179017, 11956590, 14517958, 14760071, 16455195, 17645508, 20727672, 22711857, 22798144, 23479189, 25256238, 28324225, 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA1_000177) and one individual each affected with prostate cancer (PMID: 31214711) and hemangioblastoma (PMID: 24884479). This variant has been identified in 3/282102 chromosomes 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 c.1961del variant in the BRCA1 gene is located on the exon 10 and is predicted to cause shift of reading frame which introduces a premature translation termination codon (p.Lys654Serfs*47), resulting in an absent or disrupted protein product. The variant has been reported from multiple individuals with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 36974006, 37851290, 34290354, 36537080, 25682074, 30606148). The other protein termination codon variants located in the same exon (p.Glu673*, p.Gln640*) have been interpreted as pathogenic (ClinVar ID: 54436, 266201). Loss-of-function variants in the BRCA1 gene are known to cause hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 21989022, 11802209, 32375709). This variant has been reported in ClinVar as pathogenic by the expert panel (ID: 37438). The variant is rare in the general population according to gnomAD v4.1 (10/1613680). Therefore, the c.1961del (p.Lys654Serfs*47) variant in the BRCA1 gene has been classified as pathogenic. -

The BRCA1 p.Lys654Serfs*47 variant was identified in 5 of 1160 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.004) from individuals or families with breast or ovarian cancer (Al-Mulla 2008, de Juan 2015, Diez 2003). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs80357522), ClinVar (classified as pathogenic by Invitae, GeneDx, Ambry Genetics and sixteen other submitters), and in LOVD 3.0 (58X ).The variant was not identified in UMD-LSDB. The variant was not identified in the following control databases: the Exome Aggregation Consortium (August 8th 2016), or the Genome Aggregation Database (Feb 27, 2017). The c.1961del variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at codon 654 and leads to a premature stop codon at position 700. This alteration is then predicted to result in a truncated or absent protein and loss of function. Loss of function variants of the BRCA1 gene are an established mechanism of disease in BRCA1 associated cancers and is the type of variant expected to cause the disorder. In summary, based on the above information this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -
