The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.1714G>T(p.Glu572*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★★). 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]

The BRCA1 c.1714G>T (p.Glu572*) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals and families with a history of, or at risk for, breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMIDs: 31159747 (2019), 29446198 (2018), 22762150 (2012)). This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as likely pathogenic. -

This pathogenic variant is denoted BRCA1 c.1714G>T at the cDNA level and p.Glu572Ter (E572X) at the protein level. The substitution creates a nonsense variant, changing a Glutamic Acid to a premature stop codon (GAA>TAA). This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This variant, also reported as BRCA1 1833G>T using alternate nomenclature, has been reported in two French families with breast cancer (Lecarpentier 2012). Based on current information, we consider this variant to be pathogenic. -

This is a nonsense variant, leading to the appearance of a stop codon at the position 572 of the BRCA1 protein. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Truncating variants in BRCA1 are known to be pathogenic. This particular variant has been as been described in the literature in breast cancer patients (PMID: 22762150 ) and the mutation database ClinVar contains several entries for this variant (Variation ID: 182135). -
The p.E572* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1714G>T), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 1714. This changes the amino acid from a glutamic acid to a stop codon within coding exon 9. This mutation has been detected in two French breast and/or ovarian cancer families (Lecarpentier J et al. Breast Cancer Res, 2012 Jul;14:R99). 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.Glu572*) 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 a personal or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 29446198). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 182135). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
