Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points: 3P and 0B. PM2PM4_Supporting
The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.3524_3526delCTG(p.Ala1175del) variant causes a disruptive inframe deletion 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 Uncertain significance (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. A1175A) has been classified as Benign.
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]

This variant causes an in-frame deletion of one amino acid at exon 10 of the BRCA1 protein. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with BRCA1-related disorders in the literature. This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

The c.3524_3526delCTG variant (also known as p.A1175del) is located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene. This variant results from an in-frame CTG deletion of nucleotide positions 3524 and 3526. This results in the in-frame deletion of an alanine at codon 1175. This alteration has been previously identified in a Nigerian breast cancer cohort (Fackenthal JD, et al. Int. J. Cancer 2012 Sep; 131(5):1114-23). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis (Choi Y et al. PLoS ONE. 2012; 7(10):e46688). Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 441378). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 22034289). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant, c.3524_3526del, results in the deletion of 1 amino acid(s) of the BRCA1 protein (p.Ala1175del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. -
