The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.1953dupG(p.Lys652fs) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000137 in 1,461,744 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★★). Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.
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]

Variant 17-43093577-T-TC is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-43093577-T-TC is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 54412.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars.
This variant inserts 1 nucleotide in exon 10 of the BRCA1 gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. 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 c.1953dupG pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a duplication of G at nucleotide position 1953, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.K652Efs*21). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This alteration has been reported in a French Canadian family (Oros KK et al. Int. J. Cancer, 2004 Nov;112(3):411-9), as well as in a cohort of 115 women with breast cancer diagnosed at age 30 or younger (Evans DG et al. Br. J. Cancer, 2010 Mar;102:1091-8). This alteration was also identified in a large, worldwide study of BRCA1/2 mutation positive families (Rebbeck TR et al. Hum. Mutat., 2018 05;39:593-620). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 2072insG 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. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys652Glufs*21) in the BRCA1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Loss-of-function variants in BRCA1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20104584). This variant has been observed in several individuals affected with breast or ovarian cancer (PMID: 25633036, 26439132, 29215753,25802882). This variant is also known as c.1952_1953insG in the literature. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 54412). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). -
