The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.3294delT(p.Pro1099LeufsTer10) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★★). Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.
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]

The c.3294delT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 3294, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.P1099Lfs*10). This mutation has been detected in Chinese cohorts of patients with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Li et al. Eur. J. Med. Res. 2014 Jun;19:35; Kim et al. Oncotarget 2016 Feb;7(8):9600-12; Sun et al. Clin. Cancer Res. 2017 Oct;23(20):6113-6119; Li et al. Gynecol. Oncol. 2018 10;151(1):145-152; Bhaskaran et al. Int. J. Cancer 2019 Aug;145(4):962-973; Deng et al. Mol Genet Genomic Med 2019 Jun;7(6):e672). 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. -

This variant deletes 1 nucleotide 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 several individuals affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 24961674, 28724667, 30972954, 35186721) and also has been described as a common pathogenic BRCA variant in the Chinese population (PMID: 36385461). 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 (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Pro1099Leufs*10) 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 not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 24961674, 28724667). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 230548). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
