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 BRCA1 p.Asn144IlefsX19 variant was identified as a novel pathogenic variant in 1 of 352 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.003) from Pakistani individuals or families with Breast and Ovarian cancer, and was not identified in 100 control chromosomes from healthy individuals (Rashid 2006). The variant is listed in the dbSNP database (ID#: rs397509162) with untested allele. The p.Asn144IlefsX19 variant was identified in the Clinvar database by submitter Invitae, but classification was not provided. In the ARUP Laboratories BRCA1 Mutation database, the variant was identified 1X and classified as definitely pathogenic. The variant was not identified in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (Exome Variant Server), Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC), LOVD, COSMIC, Clinvitae, MutDB, GeneInsight COGR, BIC or BRCA Share UMD. The p.Asn144IlefsX19 deletion variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at codon 144 and leads to a premature stop codon 19 codons downstream. This alteration is then predicted to result in a truncated or absent protein and loss of function. Loss of function variants of the BRCA1 gene are an established mechanism of disease in hereditary breast and ovarian cancer and is the type of variant expected to cause the disorder. In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -

This variant deletes 1 nucleotide in exon 6 of the BRCA1 gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in at least two individuals affected with breast or ovarian cancer (PMID: 16998791, 27848044). 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 sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Asn144Ilefs*19) 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: 16998791, 30555256). This variant is also known as c.550delA. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 55167). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
