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]

The c.585_586delTT alteration (also known as p.Y196Lfs*19), located in coding exon 7 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 585 to 586. This alteration results in a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon within coding exon 7 (also known as exon 8) which is skipped in one of the natural in-frame minor isoforms expressed in normal individuals (known in the literature as BRCA1 delta 9-10) (Colombo M et al. Hum. Mol. Genet. 2014 Jul;23:3666-80; Whiley PJ et al. Clin. Chem. 2014 Feb;60:341-52). Although alterations that result in premature protein truncation are typically deleterious in nature, protein truncating alterations that occur in exons that are skipped in naturally occurring in-frame minor isoforms have an uncertain impact on pathogenicity since it is possible that the naturally occurring isoform that lacks coding exons 8 and 9 may be partially functional (de la Hoya M et al. Hum. Mol. Genet. 2016 Jun:25:2256-2268). As such, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
