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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Neuberg Centre For Genomic Medicine, NCGM	-	The stop-gained variant c.2641G>T (p.Glu881Ter) in the BRCA1 gene has been reported previously in heterozygous state in multiple patients affected with Breast and Ovarian Cancer (Van der Merwe et al., 2022; Seymour et al., 2016). The c.2641G>T variant is novel (not in any individuals) in gnomAD Exomes. This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic (multiple submissions). This variant is predicted to cause a loss of normal protein function through protein truncation. Loss of function variants has been previously reported to be disease causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Sep 11, 2023	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu881*) 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). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 15146556, 23885733, 26915939). It is commonly reported in individuals of Afrikaner ancestry (PMID: 15146556, 23885733, 26915939). This variant is also known as 2760G>T. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 54625). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Mar 18, 2022	The p.E881* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.2641G>T), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 2641. This changes the amino acid from a glutamic acid to a stop codon within coding exon 9. This alteration has been reported in multiple individuals from the South African Afrikaner population with significant personal and family histories of breast and/or ovarian cancer, and is regarded as a founder mutation in this population (van der Merwe NC et al. Clin. Genet. 2012 Feb; 81(2):179-84; Schoeman M et al. S. Afr. Med. J. 2013 Aug; 103(8):529-33; Reeves MD et al. Int. J. Cancer 2004 Jul; 110(5):677-82; Loubser F et al. Clin. Genet. 2012 Dec; 82(6):599-600; Seymour HJ et al. S. Afr. Med. J. 2016 Mar; 106(3):264-7). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 2760G>T in the published literature. In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, 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. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Nov 21, 2022	This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 10 of the BRCA1 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant is reported as a common cause of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer in individuals of Afrikaner ancestry (PMID: 15146556, 23885733, 26915939, 28918466). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of BRCA1 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

This pathogenic variant is denoted BRCA1 c.2641G>T at the cDNA level and p.Glu881Ter (E881X) at the protein level. The substitution creates a nonsense variant, which changes a Glutamic Acid to a premature stop codon (GAA>TAA), and is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. BRCA1 Glu881Ter has been observed in association with hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer, and is reported to be an Afrikaner pathogenic founder variant (Reeves 2004, van der Merwe 2012, Plaskocinska 2016). We therefore consider this variant to be pathogenic. -
