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]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln310*) 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 ovarian cancer (PMID: 11059339, 17100994, 22798144, 29020732). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 55758). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.928C>T (p.Gln310X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 251376 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.928C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (Rebbeck_2018). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. A database, UMD, reports the variant to co-occur with another pathogenic BRCA1 variant, c.2433delC (p.Lys812ArgfsX3). Four ClinVar submissions including an expert panel, ENIGMA (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This variant is denoted BRCA1 c.928C>T at the cDNA level and p.Gln310Ter (Q310X) at the protein level. The substitution creates a nonsense variant, which changes a Glutamine to a premature stop codon (CAG>TAG) , and is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This variant, also published as BRCA1 c.1047C>T using alternate nomenclature, has been reported in association with breast and ovarian cancer (Wang 2000, Kim 2006, Seong 2009, Tang 2001), and is considered pathogenic. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

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 has been reported in multiple individuals affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 11059339, 11433401, 17100994, 22438049, 22798144, 29020732, 30982232, 30350268, 30309222, 31958182) and has been detected in a breast cancer case-control meta-analysis in 3/60466 cases and 0/53461 unaffected individuals (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA1_001915). 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. -

The p.Q310* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.928C>T), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 928. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 9. This mutation has been detected in multiple breast and/or ovarian cancer patients (Wang PH et al. Jpn J Clin Oncol, 2000 Aug;30:343-8; Seong MW et al. Clin Genet, 2009 Aug;76:152-60; Meisel C et al. Arch Gynecol Obstet, 2017 May;295:1227-1238; Eoh KJ et al. Cancer Res Treat, 2018 Jul;50:917-925; Ryu JM et al. Breast Cancer Res Treat, 2019 Jan;173:385-395; Wang J et al. Cancer Med, 2019 05;8:2074-2084; Choi MC et al. Cancer Res Treat, 2020 Apr;52:634-644; Chao A et al. J Gynecol Oncol, 2020 May;31:e24; Dorling et al. N Engl J Med. 2021 02;384:428-439). 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). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 1047C>T and 1047 (CAG to TAG) in published literature. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -
