Breast-ovarian cancer, familial, susceptibility to, 1 Pathogenic:6
Variant allele predicted to encode a truncated non-functional protein. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys1690*) 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). Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 29446198, 22333603, 26023681, 20104584, 30209399, 29470806, 35698740, 29922827). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37626) classified as pathogenic reviewed by expert panel. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

not provided Pathogenic:3
Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss of function is a known mechanism of disease; Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect: variant classified as non-functional based on a saturation genome editing (SGE) assay measuring cell survival (Findlay et al., 2018); Identified in patients with breast, ovarian, pancreatic, or prostate cancer (Robertson et al., 2012; Singh et al., 2018; Mehta et al., 2022); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Truncating variants in this gene are considered pathogenic by a well-established clinical consortium and/or database; Also known as 5187A>T; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 29446198, 22333603, 26023681, 20104584, 30209399, 29470806, 35698740, 29922827) -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:3

This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 16 of the BRCA1 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal in the BRCA1 protein. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. Splicing predictions suggest that this variant may impact splicing at the intron 6 splice donor site (PMID: 30661751, 35449021). A study has reported that this variant is functionally abnormal in a haploid cell proliferation assay (PMID: 30209399). This variant has been reported in two individuals and two families affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 22333603, 29446198, 29470806). This variant has been identified in 2/1610276 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. -
The p.K1690* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.5068A>T), located in coding exon 15 of the BRCA1 gene, results from an A to T substitution at nucleotide position 5068. This changes the amino acid from a lysine to a stop codon within coding exon 15. One functional study found that this nucleotide substitution is non-functional in a high-throughput, genome editing, haploid cell survival assay (Findlay GM et al. Nature, 2018 10;562:217-222). This alteration was also identified in a large, worldwide study of BRCA1/2 mutation positive families (Rebbeck TR et al. Hum Mutat, 2018 05;39:593-620) and has been reported in the literature in a patient diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer (Robertson L. Br J Cancer. 2012 Mar;106(6):1234-8). 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. -
Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Pathogenic:1
This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys1690*) 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 (rs397507239, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 22333603, 29446198, 29470806). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37626). RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this premature translational stop signal on mRNA splicing indicates it does not significantly alter splicing (Invitae). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
