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]

This variant deletes 2 nucleotides 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 multiple individuals and families affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 7894493, 8533757, 16030099, 18821011, 22798144, 25863477, 26028024, 32438681, 34072659). This variant has been identified in 12 families among the CIMBA participants (PMID: 29446198) (https://cimba.ccge.medschl.cam.ac.uk/). In a large breast cancer case-control study (PMID: 33471991), this variant has been observed in 2/60466 cases and 1/53461 unaffected controls. This variant has been identified in 1/251084 chromosomes 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. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser766*) 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 present in population databases (rs80357780, gnomAD 0.003%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 7894493, 18821011, 22798144, 25863477, 26028024). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. This variant is also known as 2415delAG. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 17666). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.Ser766X variant in BRCA1 has been reported in 18 individuals with BRCA1-related cancers (Friedman 1994 PMID: 7894493; Weitzel 2005 PMID: 16030099; Azzollini 2016 PMID: 27062684; Rebbeck 2018 PMID: 29446198; Singh 2018 PMID: 29470806; Fernandez-Lopez 2019 PMID: 30630528). It has also been identified in 0.003% (1/34580) of Latino chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant was classified as pathogenic on 09/08/16 by the ClinGen-approved ENIGMA expert panel (Variation ID 17666). This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 766 and leads directly to a premature termination codon. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the BRCA1 gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal dominant hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant HBOC. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM2, PS4. -

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.2296_2297delAG (p.Ser766X) 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. Variants downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251084 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.2296_2297delAG has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (example: Rebbeck_2018). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 29446198). Eight submitters (including ENIGMA expert panel) have cited 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. -

This nonsense variant causes the premature termination of BRCA1 protein synthesis. The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000004 (1/251084 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is consistent with pathogenicity. In the published literature, the variant has been reported in individuals diagnosed with hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 7894493 (1994), 16030099 (2005), 18821011 (2006), 22798144 (2012), 26028024 (2016), 27062684 (2016), 29470806 (2018), 32438681 (2020), 33471991 (2021), 34413315 (2021)). The variant has also been reported in unaffected individuals (PMID: 31447099 (2019), 33471991 (2021)). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

The c.2296_2297delAG pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 2296 to 2297, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.S766*). This alteration has been previously identified in several breast and/or ovarian cancer kindreds (Friedman LS et al. Nat. Genet. 1994 Dec;8(4):399-404; Weitzel JN et al. Cancer Epidemiol. Biomarkers Prev. 2005 Jul;14(7):1666-71; Golmard L et al. Oncogene 2016 Mar;35(10):1324-7; Azzollini J et al. Eur. J. Intern. Med. 2016 Jul;32:65-71; Singh J et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2018 Jul;170(1):189-196). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 2415delAG in some 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. -
