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 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 identified in 1/250564 chromosomes 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.E797* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.2389G>T), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 2389. This changes the amino acid from a glutamic acid to a stop codon within coding exon 9. This mutation has been reported in numerous individuals with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Yang D et al. JAMA. 2011 Oct;306:1557-65: Walker LC et al. Eur J Hum Genet. 2017 04;25:432-438; Rebbeck TR et al. Hum Mutat. 2018 05;39:593-620). A Scottish woman diagnosed with breast cancer at age 35 was found to carry this mutation as well as a BRCA2 frameshift mutation (Liede A et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 1998 Jun;62(6):1543-4). 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 sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu797*) 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: 17682). This variant is also known as G2508T. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer or ovarian cancer (PMID: 9585617, 21990299, 26681312, 27836010, 28831036). -

The BRCA1 p.Glu797X variant was identified in a Canadian individual of Scottish descent diagnosed with breast cancer at age 35, who also carried a pathogenic BRCA2 mutation (c.3068dupA, alias BIC 3295insA), making her the first double (compound) heterozygote outside of the Ashkenazi Jewish population (Liede1998, Rebbeck 2016). The variant was also identified as a somatic mutation in a study looking at 429 ovarian cancer cases (frequency of 0.0023) and was not seen in 557 Causcasian controls (Kanchi 2014). The variant has also been identified by our laboratory in 1 individual with breast cancer. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs rs62625306) as “With Pathogenic, Uncertain significance allele” but no frequency information was provided, Clinvitae database (classification pathogenic), Fanconi Anemia Mutation Database (LOVD), ARUP Laboratories BRCA Mutations Database (classification definitely pathogenic), the ClinVar database (classification pathogenic, reviewed by an expert panel, submitters: ENIGMA, CIMBA, GeneDx, Ambry Genetics, OMIM, SCRP, and BIC, classification not provided by Invitae), GeneInsight COGR database (classification pathogenic, by 4 clinical laboratories), the BIC database (unavailable), and UMD (3x with a ”unclassified variant” classification).The p.Glu797X variant leads to a premature stop codon at position 797, which is predicted to lead to 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 pathogenic variant is denoted BRCA1 c.2389G>T at the cDNA level and p.Glu797Ter (E797X) at the protein level. The substitution creates a nonsense variant, which changes a Glutamic Acid to a premature stop codon (GAA>TAA), and is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This variant, also known as 2508G>T using alternative nomenclature, has been reported in association with familial breast cancer and ovarian cancer (Liede 1998, Yang 2011) and is considered pathogenic. -
