The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.5068A>T(p.Lys1690Ter) variant causes a stop gained change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000137 in 1,457,970 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. K1690K) has been classified as Uncertain significance. 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]

Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss of function is a known mechanism of disease; Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect: variant classified as non-functional based on a saturation genome editing (SGE) assay measuring cell survival (Findlay et al., 2018); Identified in patients with breast, ovarian, pancreatic, or prostate cancer (Robertson et al., 2012; Singh et al., 2018; Mehta et al., 2022); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Truncating variants in this gene are considered pathogenic by a well-established clinical consortium and/or database; Also known as 5187A>T; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 29446198, 22333603, 26023681, 20104584, 30209399, 29470806, 35698740, 29922827) -

The p.K1690* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.5068A>T), located in coding exon 15 of the BRCA1 gene, results from an A to T substitution at nucleotide position 5068. This changes the amino acid from a lysine to a stop codon within coding exon 15. One functional study found that this nucleotide substitution is non-functional in a high-throughput, genome editing, haploid cell survival assay (Findlay GM et al. Nature, 2018 10;562:217-222). This alteration was also identified in a large, worldwide study of BRCA1/2 mutation positive families (Rebbeck TR et al. Hum Mutat, 2018 05;39:593-620) and has been reported in the literature in a patient diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer (Robertson L. Br J Cancer. 2012 Mar;106(6):1234-8). 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. -

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this premature translational stop signal on mRNA splicing indicates it does not significantly alter splicing (Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37626). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 22333603, 29446198, 29470806). This variant is present in population databases (rs397507239, gnomAD 0.0009%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys1690*) 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). -
