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]

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.1115G>A (p.Trp372X) 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 4e-06 in 251174 control chromosomes. c.1115G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (example, Rebbeck_2018). One clinical diagnostic laboratory, an expert panel (ENIGMA), a consotrium (CIMBA) and a database (OMIM) have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Loss-of-function variants in BRCA1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20104584). A different variant (c.1116G>A) giving rise to the same protein effect observed here (p.Trp372*) has been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 9333265, 11504767, 16515586, 16683254, 26848529). This suggests that this variant is also likely to be causative of disease. This variant has been observed to be heterozygous in several individuals with a personal and/or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 28831036, 29907814, 29446198, 29625052). In addition, this variant has been observed to be homozygous in two siblings with clinical features consistent with Fanconi anemia (PMID: 29712865). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 54134). This variant is present in population databases (rs397508838, ExAC 0.001%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp372*) in the BRCA1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product.

The p.W372* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1115G>A), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1115. This changes the amino acid from a tryptophan to a stop codon within coding exon 9. This alteration was identified in a large, worldwide study of BRCA1/2 mutation positive families (Rebbeck TR et al. Hum Mutat, 2018 05;39:593-620). Additionally, this alteration was identified in the homozygous state in two sisters with features of Fanconi Anemia including developmental delay, microcephaly and abnormal skin pigmentation (Seo A et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2018 05;115:5241-5246). This alteration was also identified in an individual diagnosed with breast cancer from China (Deng M et al. Int J Cancer, 2019 09;145:1517-1528). 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.
