Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.3772G>T(p.Glu1258Ter) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. E1258E) has been classified as Likely benign. 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]

Variant 17-43091759-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-43091759-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 55000.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars.
The p.E1258* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.3772G>T), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 3772. This changes the amino acid from a glutamic acid to a stop codon within coding exon 9. This alteration has been previously described in one proband from a Swiss breast/ovarian cohort (Maillet P et al. Cancer Genet. Cytogenet. 2006 Aug;169:62-8). 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 premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 16875939). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu1258*) 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 also known as c.3891G>T. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 55000). -
