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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGenetic Services Laboratory, University of ChicagoJul 10, 2020DNA sequence analysis of the BRCA1 gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.427G>T, which results in the creation of a premature stop codon at amino acid position 143, p.Glu143*. This pathogenic sequence change is predicted to result in an abnormal transcript, which may be degraded, or may lead to the production of a truncated BRCA1 protein with potentially abnormal function. This pathogenic sequence change, also reported as c.546G>T in the literature, has previously been described in individuals with breast and/or ovarian cancer, and pancreatic cancer (PMIDs: 9333265, 22009639, 24504028, 20104584, 23961350, 29961768). The p.Glu143* change has not been described in population databases (gnomAD, ExAC). These collective evidences suggest that this sequence change is pathogenic. -

The predicted truncated BRCA1 protein lacks homologous recombination activity when expressed in yeast (Caligo 2009). The variant is not been observed in the general population databases, such as the 1000 Genomes Project, Exome Variant Server, and Genome Aggregation Database. The variant introduces a premature termination codon, and is predicted to result in a truncated protein or an absent transcript. Based on the above information, the p.Glu143Ter variant is classified as pathogenic. References: Caligo M et al. (2009) Hum Mutat.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineOct 14, 2019The p.Glu143X variant in BRCA1 has been reported in >15 individuals with BRCA1-related cancers (Shattuck-Eidens 1997, Caligo 2009, Cunningham 2014, Susswein 2016, Lowery 2018, Yurgelun 2019, BIC database). It was absent from large population studies. This frameshift variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 143, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the BRCA1 gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal dominant hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (HBOC). Additionally, this variant was classified as Pathogenic on Apr 22, 2016 by the ClinGen-approved ENIGMA expert panel (Variation ID: 37581). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant HBOC. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM2, PS4. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 24, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu143*) 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: 9333265, 20104584, 22009639, 23961350, 24504028). This variant is also known as 546G>T and E143X. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37581). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpAug 31, 2020Variant summary: BRCA1 c.427G>T (p.Glu143X) 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 251024 control chromosomes. c.427G>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (example, Solano_2013, Judkins_2005, Evans_2003, Nielsen_2016). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Nine clinical diagnostic laboratories and one expert panel (ENIGMA) have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:3
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJul 12, 2021The p.E143* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.427G>T), located in coding exon 5 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 427. This changes the amino acid from a glutamic acid to a stop codon within coding exon 5. This mutation has been reported in several individuals diagnosed with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Perrin-Vidoz L et al. Hum. Mol. Genet. 2002 Nov;11:2805-14; Borg A et al. Hum. Mutat. 2010 Mar;31:E1200-40; Bayraktar S et al. Cancer. 2012 Mar;118:1515-22; Cunningham JM et al. Sci. Rep. 2014 Feb;4:4026; Susswein LR et al. Genet. Med. 2016 Aug;18:823-32). This alteration has been reported to co-occur with the BRCA2 c.8730delT mutation in a Caucasian patient from Denmark (Rebbeck TR et al. Breast Cancer Res. 2016 Nov;18:112). This alteration has also been reported as a possible Irish founder mutation, after the author noted that it accounted for 22% of all HBOC individuals in an Irish population (Janaviius R. EPMA J. 2010 Sep;1:397-412). It has since been reported in multiple individuals from Western Ireland (McVeigh TP et al. Ir. J. Med. Sci. 2014 Jun;183:199-206). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 546G>T in published literature. 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. -
