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]

BRCA1 (HGNC:):

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 17-43104263-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-43104263-T-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 54752.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr17-43104263-T-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic]. Variant chr17-43104263-T-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Apr 25, 2022	This variant causes an A to G nucleotide substitution at the -2 position of intron 5 of the BRCA1 gene. Splice site prediction tools predict that this variant may have a significant impact on RNA splicing. Although functional studies have not been reported for this variant, this variant is likely to result in the absent or non-functional gene product. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals affected with breast cancer or ovarian cancer (PMID: 20406929, 22333603, 31209999, 33471991; Color internal data), and has been identified in one family among the CIMBA participants (PMID: 29446198) (https://cimba.ccge.medschl.cam.ac.uk/). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). A different variant occurring at the same nucleotide position, c.302-2A>C, is a well documented pathogenic variant due to its deleterious impact on RNA splicing (ClinVar variation ID: 37500). Loss of BRCA1 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Jul 07, 2022	The c.302-2A>G intronic variant results from an A to G substitution two nucleotides before coding exon 5 in the BRCA1 gene. This alteration has been identified in multiple individuals with a personal history and/or family history of high risk breast cancer (Robertson L et al. Br J Cancer, 2012 Mar;106:1234-8; Fostira F et al. J Med Genet, 2020 01;57:53-61). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice acceptor site and will result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice acceptor site. In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, 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. As such, this alteration is classified as likely pathogenic. -
