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.

Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided	clinical testing	KCCC/NGS Laboratory, Kuwait Cancer Control Center	May 05, 2023	The BRCA1 family mutation (c.4136_4137delCT) was detected. This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser1379*) in the BRCA1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (genomAD). This variant has been observed in several individuals affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 16515586, 25556971, 24916970). Moreover, this variant has been identified as putative Middle Eastern founder mutation by haplotype analysis (PMID: 27082205). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 55112). Loss-of-function variants in BRCA1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20104584). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.4136_4137delCT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides between positions 4136 and 4137, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon. This pathogenic mutation, also referred to as 4255delCT, has been reported in multiple families with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) syndrome (Li N. et al. Int. J. Gynecol. Cancer;16 (Suppl 1):172-8; Peixoto A. et al. Clin. Genet. 2015 Jul; 88(1):41-8). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, since frameshifts 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). -
