Genes affected

BAP1 (HGNC:950): (BRCA1 associated protein 1) This gene belongs to the ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase subfamily of deubiquitinating enzymes that are involved in the removal of ubiquitin from proteins. The encoded enzyme binds to the breast cancer type 1 susceptibility protein (BRCA1) via the RING finger domain of the latter and acts as a tumor suppressor. In addition, the enzyme may be involved in regulation of transcription, regulation of cell cycle and growth, response to DNA damage and chromatin dynamics. Germline mutations in this gene may be associated with tumor predisposition syndrome (TPDS), which involves increased risk of cancers including malignant mesothelioma, uveal melanoma and cutaneous melanoma.

The c.438-2A>G intronic pathogenic mutation results from an A to G substitution two nucleotides upstream from coding exon 7 in the BAP1 gene. This alteration has been observed in individuals with a personal and/or family history that is consistent with BAP1-related disease (Testa JR et al. Nat Genet, 2011 Aug;43:1022-5). In vivo mouse studies have shown that mice with this alteration are significantly predisposed to BAP1-associated tumors (Kadariya Y et al. Cancer Res, 2016 05;76:2836-44). RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in abnormal splicing in the set of samples tested (Ambry internal data; Testa JR et al. Nat Genet, 2011 Aug;43:1022-5). 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 a disease-causing mutation. -
