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 changes 1 nucleotide in exon 10 of the BRCA1 gene, creating a 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: 16261400, 18097605, 24728189, 24916970, 25682074, 27553368, 29088781, 31125277, 33008098), and has been described as a founder variant in the Chilean population (PMID: 29088781). This variant has been identified in 11 families among the CIMBA participants (PMID: 29446198) (https://cimba.ccge.medschl.cam.ac.uk/) and in a breast cancer case-control meta-analysis in 2/60466 cases and 0/53461 unaffected individuals (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA1_001874). 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.Gln1273*) 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 and ovarian cancer (PMID: 17063270, 24728189, 24916970, 25682074, 29088781). This variant is also known as 3936C>T. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 55015). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.Q1273* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.3817C>T), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 3817. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 9. This mutation has been reported in multiple hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer families of various ethnicities (Tapia T et al. Epigenetics. Jun;3:157-63; Gallardo M et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2006 Jan;95:81-7; Peixoto A et al. Clin. Genet. 2015 Jul;88:41-8; Pinto P et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2016 Sep;159:245-56; Alvarez C et al. Oncotarget, 2017 Sep;8:74233-74243; Heramb C et al. Hered Cancer Clin Pract. 2018 Jan;16:3; Rebbeck TR et al. Hum Mutat 2018 05;39(5):593-620). This alteration has also been reported in a Polish cohort of triple negative breast cancer patients (Wong-Brown MW et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2015 Feb;150:71-80; Domagala P et al. PLoS ONE. 2015 Jun;10:e0130393). In one case control study, this mutation was detected in 1/2222 individuals with invasive epithelial ovarian cancer and 0/1528 matched controls (Song H et al. Hum. Mol. Genet. 2014 Sep;23:4703-9). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -
