The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.3607C>T (p.Arg1203*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant is predicted to lead to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). The variant allele was found at a cumulative frequency of 0.0000103 (AC=15) in the gnomAD database across 1,461,790 control chromosomes (no homozygotes observed). The grpmax filtering allele frequency (95% CI) is 0.0000242. Note: a gnomAD entry for this variant shows a statistical allele-bias signature, consistent with mosaic/somatic contamination (e.g. age-related clonal hematopoiesis) rather than true inherited population frequency — this frequency should not be read as evidence of a common, benign germline variant. In-silico predictor (BayesDel (noAF)) classifies this variant as likely damaging/oncogenic. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic (★★★). This exact variant is curated in the UniProt human variants database as Uncertain Significance, associated with Breast-ovarian cancer, familial, susceptibility to, 1 (brovca1); it is also listed as a COSMIC curated somatic variant.

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]

Classification according to ACMG Germline Pathogenicity v2019

Specifications for BRCA1 are available in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry and recommended for reference when assigning criteria.

Classification was made for transcript:

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 17 points.

Apply	Criterion Code & Title / Strength	Strength	Rationale / Clinical Context
	PVS1Null variant in LOF gene		Frameshift/stop-gained, NMD predicted, LoF disease mechanism — very strong (PVS1); Stop-gained (exon 10 of 23) at amino acid 1203 of 1863, predicted to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Loss of function is a known disease mechanism for this gene.
	PM2Absent/extremely low in population databases		Rare in gnomAD for AD/XL gene (popmax AF below threshold) — PM2 Supporting; GnomAD popmax AF = 0.0000242 — borderline rare for AD+AR gene (base 0.0001, raised to 0.000118 by highest known P/LP ClinVar AF 0.000118) — PM2 supporting.
	PP5Reputable source reports pathogenic		ClinVar ≥3 stars pathogenic — very strong (PP5); ClinVar submissions overwhelmingly pathogenic (≥10 total, ≥80% P/LP, <10% B/LB) — strong (PP5, count-based); ClinVar germline classification: Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic, 3 star(s). ClinVar submissions strongly and reliably favor pathogenicity (53/53 total P/LP).
