Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):​c.737del​(p.Leu246Ter) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. L246L) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 17-43094793-CA-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-43094793-CA-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 55683.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars. Variant chr17-43094793-CA-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jul 17, 2022	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 55683). This variant is also known as c.856delT. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 21324516, 29785153). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu246*) 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). -

GeneKor MSA

Jan 01, 2020

This variation is a deletion of 1 nucleotide from exon 11 of the BRCA1 mRNA (c.737delT), causing a frameshift at codon 246. This creates a premature translation stop signal at this position and is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This mutation has been described in the mutation database ClinVar (Variation ID: 55683). -
