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]

The BRCA1 p.Gly559Valfs*13 variant was identified in 5 of 5020 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.001) from individuals or families with non-hereditary diffuse gastric cancer, breast or ovarian cancer and was not identified in 2340 chromosomes from population-matched controls (Blay 2013, Couch 1997, de Juan Jimenez 2013, Sahasrabudhe 2017, Torres 2017). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs80357600) as "With Pathogenic allele", ClinVar (classified as pathogenic by Invitae, GeneDx, and nine other submitters), COGR (1x pathogenic), LOVD 3.0 (6x pathogenic), BIC Database (6x with clinical importance), and in ARUP Laboratories database (definitely pathogenic). The variant was not identified in Cosmic, UMD-LSDB, or Zhejiang University databases. 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.1674del variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at codon 559 and leads to a premature stop codon at position 571. 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 hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) syndrome 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. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gly559Valfs*13) 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 and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 9145677, 11773283, 23479189, 23683081). This variant is also known as 1790delA and 1793delA. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37425). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.1674delA (p.Gly559ValfsX13) 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 was absent in 250426 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1674delA has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (Rebbeck_2018). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Eight ClinVar submissions (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This variant deletes 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 been reported in individuals affected with breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 11773283, 23479189, 23683081, 28680148, 28528518). 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.1674delA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 1674, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.G559Vfs*13). This mutation has been reported in patients with personal and/or family histories suspicious for Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (Couch FJ et al. N. Engl. J. Med. 1997 May;336:1409-15; Geisler JP et al. J Natl Cancer Inst, 2002 Jan;94:61-7; Shih HA et al. J Clin Oncol, 2002 Feb;20:994-9; Dworkin AM et al. Fam Cancer, 2009 Apr;8:339-46; Rodríguez AO et al.

Colomb Med (Cali), 2017 Jun;48:58-63; Torres D et al. Sci Rep, 2017 07;7:4713 Cock-Rada AM et al. Fam Cancer, 2018 01;17:23-30; Rebbeck TR et al. Hum Mutat, 2018 05;39:593-620; Wei H et al.

Of note, this alteration has also been reported as 1790delA and 1793delA 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. -
