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 17-43099809-T-TA is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-43099809-T-TA is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 141091.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Jan 15, 2020	This variant inserts 1 nucleotide in exon 7 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. 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. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Feb 13, 2018	The c.512dupT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 6 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a duplication of T at nucleotide position 512, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.Q172Tfs*10). This alteration, designated also as p.Gln172ThrfsTer10, was reported in an Indian patient with ovarian cancer who also had a family history of breast cancer (Mannan AU et al. J. Hum. Genet. 2016 Jun;61:515-22). 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. -

This duplication of one nucleotide in BRCA1 is denoted c.512dupT at the cDNA level and p.Gln172ThrfsX10 (Q172TfsX10) at the protein level. The normal sequence, with the base that is duplicated in brackets, is CGGA[dupT]ACAA. The duplication causes a frameshift, which changes a Glutamine to a Threonine at codon 172, and creates a premature stop codon at position 10 of the new reading frame. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. BRCAc.512dupT has been reported in association with breast and ovarian cancer (Mannan 2016). We consider this variant to be pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln172Thrfs*10) 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). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 141091). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 26911350). -
