Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.3257T>A(p.Leu1086*) 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 (★★★). 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]

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; 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 3376T>A; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 29446198, 36071769, 22460208, 20104584, 30078507, 11857748, 9663595, 24916970, 32318955, 24884479, 23479189) -

The p.L1086* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.3257T>A), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a T to A substitution at nucleotide position 3257. This changes the amino acid from a leucine to a stop codon within coding exon 9. This mutation has been reported in families of Spanish and Portugese decent with suspected HBOC (Llort G et al. Hum. Mutat. 2002 Mar; 19(3):307; Peixoto A et al. Clin. Genet. 2015 Jul; 88(1):41-8). In addition, a different nucleotide substitution (c.3257T>G) resulting in a stop codon at the same position (p.L1086*) has been identified in several HBOC families (Wagner TM et al. Int. J. Cancer 1998 Jul; 77(3):354-60; Beristain E et al. J Community Genet 2010 Jun; 1(2):91-9; de Juan Jiménez I et al. Fam. Cancer 2013 Dec; 12(4):767-77; Silva FC et al. BMC Med. Genet. 2014; 15:55). 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 sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu1086*) 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/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 24916970). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 54808). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
