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]

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Nov 05, 2021	This variant causes a conserved G nucleotide to T substitution at the +5 position of intron 2 of the BRCA1 gene. Splice site prediction tools suggest that this variant may have a significant impact on RNA splicing. Although this prediction has not been confirmed in published RNA studies, another substitution at this position, c.80+5G>A with a similar predicted splicing impact, has been shown to cause the skipping of exon 2 in carrier RNA, resulting in the loss of the translation initiation codon and the predicted loss of protein product (PMID: 29280214, 32133419). This variant has been detected in one individual affected with breast cancer (Color internal data) and other substitutions at this position have been reported in suspected hereditary breast and ovarian cancer families (PMID: 24916970; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA1_003122 and BRCA1_001183). 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. Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Apr 13, 2022	The c.80+5G>T pathogenic variant results from a G to T substitution 5 nucleotides after coding exon 1 in the BRCA1 gene. This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site. RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in abnormal splicing in the set of samples tested (Ambry internal data). Other alterations impacting the same donor site have been shown to have a similar impact on splicing (Ambry internal data; Baert A et al. Hum. Mutat., 2018 04;39:515-526; Steffensen AY et al. Eur J Hum Genet. 2014 Dec;22(12):1362-8). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
