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 undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.

Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Nov 10, 2022	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37524). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 29446198, 30702160). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln1118*) 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). -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Jan 07, 2021	Variant summary: BRCA1 c.3352C>T (p.Gln1118X) 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. The variant was absent in 255376 control chromosomes (gnomAD and publication data). c.3352C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (Rebbeck_2018, Singh_2018, Bhaskaran_2019). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Two ClinVar submitters and one expert panel (ENIGMA) (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This pathogenic variant is denoted BRCA1 c.3352C>T at the cDNA level and p.Gln1118Ter (Q1118X) atthe protein level. Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA1 3471C>T. The substitutioncreates a nonsense variant, which changes a Glutamine to a premature stop codon (CAG>TAG), and is predicted tocause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Thisvariant has been reported in families with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Lecarpentier 2012, Mannan 2016) and isconsidered pathogenic. -

The p.Q1118* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.3352C>T and 3471C>T), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 3352. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 9. This alteration has been reported in one French HBOC family (Lecarpentier J, Breast Cancer Res. 2012 ; 14(4):R99). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, since premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation (ACMG Recommendations for Standards for Interpretation and Reporting of Sequence Variations. Revision 2007. Genet Med. 2008;10:294). -
