Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PVS1PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.288_292delinsAACCTGT(p.Asp96GlufsTer24) variant causes a frameshift change. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. D96D) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.
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]

PVS1
?
PVS1 - null variant (nonsense, frameshift, canonical ±1 or 2 splice sites, initiation codon, single or multiexon deletion) in a gene where LOF is a known mechanism of disease
Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
PP5

PP5 - Reputable source recently reports variant as pathogenic, but the evidence is not available to the laboratory to perform an independent evaluation
Variant 17-43104877-CTGTG-ACAGGTT is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-43104877-CTGTG-ACAGGTT is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 482947.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
The c.288_292delCACAGinsAACCTGT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 4 of the BRCA1 gene, results from the deletion of 5 nucleotides and insertion of 7 nucleotides causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.D96Efs*24). 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. -

This variant causes a frameshift at codon 96 in the BRCA1 protein, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is also known as 407del5ins7 in the literature. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. Splice site prediction tools suggest that this variant may not impact RNA splicing. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. This variant has been reported in individual(s) who underwent cancer genetic testing (PMID: 16267036). 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. Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with BRCA1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 482947). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Asp96Glufs*24) 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). -
