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]

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Jan 15, 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 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. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Jun 14, 2022	The p.S1298* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.3893C>A), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 3893. This changes the amino acid from a serine to a stop codon within coding exon 9. This mutation was described in a German breast and ovarian cancer family (Meindl A et al. Int. J. Cancer 2002 Feb;97(4):472-80), in a Chinese woman with epithelial ovarian cancer (Hasmad HN et al. Gynecol. Oncol. 2016 May;141:318-22), and in a Chinese woman with bilateral breast cancer (Lang GT et al Int. J. Cancer 2017 07;141(1):129-142). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition to the clinical information 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. -

Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Oct 20, 2023	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser1298*) 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 personal or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 11802209, 26541979, 28294317). This variant is also known as c.4012C>A. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 55039). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Jan 17, 2022	Variant summary: BRCA1 c.3893C>A (p.Ser1298X) 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. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 282572 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.3893C>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (example: Judkins_2005, Meindl_2002, Hasmad_2016, BIC database). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Seven ClinVar submitters, including one expert panel and one consortium, have assessed this variant since 2014: all submitters classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
