Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.5427_5428insT(p.Val1810CysfsTer20) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. V1809V) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most 50 bp of the penultimate exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 152 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 17-43047682-C-CA is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-43047682-C-CA is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 433737.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Oct 01, 2020	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant is expected to disrupt a portion of the C-terminal region of the BRCA1 protein containing the BRCT domain (residues Val1646-Pro1859) (PMID: 25652403). Although functional studies have not been performed for this particular variant, the BRCT domain is critical for BRCA1 DNA repair activity (PMID: 11573086, 14576433, 15133503, 25652403). This suggests that disruption of this region of the BRCA1 protein is causative of disease. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with BRCA1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 433737). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change results in a premature translational stop signal in the BRCA1 gene (p.Val1810Cysfs*20). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 54 amino acid(s) of the BRCA1 protein. -
