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]

Frameshift variant predicted to result in protein truncation in a gene for which loss of function is a known mechanism of disease; Truncating variants in this gene are considered pathogenic by a well-established clinical consortium and/or database; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Observed in a patient with triple negative breast cancer and a family history of breast cancer (Mannan et al., 2016); Also known as c.5559dup; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: Sharma-Oates2018[Review], 26911350) -

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.5440dupG pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 21 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a duplication of G at nucleotide position 5440, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.A1814Gfs*16). This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of theBRCA1 gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and only impacts the last 2.68% of the protein. However, premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature and the impacted region is critical for protein function (Ambry internal data). This variant was reported in an individual with features consistent with BRCA1-related hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (Mannan AU et al. J Hum Genet, 2016 Jun;61:515-22). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the supporting evidence, this variant is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ala1814Glyfs*16) in the BRCA1 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 50 amino acid(s) of the BRCA1 protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 26911350). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 372068). RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this premature translational stop signal on mRNA splicing indicates it does not significantly alter splicing (Invitae). This variant disrupts the C-terminal end of the BRCA1 protein partially including the BRCT domain (residues 1646-1859), which is important for DNA repair activity (PMID: 11573086, 14576433, 15133503, 25652403). While functional studies have not been performed to directly test the effect on BRCA1 protein function, this suggests that disruption of the C-terminal portion of the protein is functionally important. A different truncation (p.Tyr1853*) that lies downstream of this variant has been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 21922593, 10811118, 11739404, 12400015, 7894493, Invitae). This suggests that variants that disrupt this region of the protein are likely to be causative of disease. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
