The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.1600C>T(p.Gln534*) 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]

Collection Method: clinical testing
This variant is denoted BRCA1 c.1600C>T at the cDNA level and p.Gln534Ter (Q534X) at the protein level. The substitution creates a nonsense variant, which changes a Glutamine to a premature stop codon (CAG>TAG), and is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This variant, also published as BRCA1 1719C>T using alternate nomenclature, has been observed in at least three families presenting with breast and/ or ovarian cancer (Machackova 2008). We consider BRCA1 Gln534Ter to be a pathogenic variant. -

The p.Q534* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1600C>T), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1600. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 9. This mutation has been detected in multiple patients with HBOC-related cancers (Machackova et al. BMC Cancer 2008 May;8:140; Li et al. Gynecol. Oncol. 2018 10;151(1):145-152; Rebbeck et al. Hum. Mutat. 2018 05;39(5):593-620; Vocka et al. Cancers (Basel) 2019 May;11(6)). 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 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. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been detected in at least one individual each affected with breast or ovarian cancer (PMID: 30078507, 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA1_004147) and in at least seven families suspected to be affected with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 18489799, 29446198, 31409081). 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. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln534*) 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 hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer (HBOC) or undergoing testing for HBOC (PMID: 18489799, 29446198, 30078507). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 54303). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.1600C>T (p.Gln534X) 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 (eg. p.Gln541X, p.Gly559fsX13, p.Gln563X). The variant was absent in 245682 control chromosomes. c.1600C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (Li_2018, Machackova_2008). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
