Genes affected
BRAT1 (HGNC:21701): (BRCA1 associated ATM activator 1) The protein encoded by this ubiquitously expressed gene interacts with the tumor suppressing BRCA1 (breast cancer 1) protein and and the ATM (ataxia telangiectasia mutated) protein. ATM is thought to be a master controller of cell cycle checkpoint signalling pathways that are required for cellular responses to DNA damage such as double-strand breaks that are induced by ionizing radiation and complexes with BRCA1 in the multi-protein complex BASC (BRAC1-associated genome surveillance complex). The protein encoded by this gene is thought to play a role in the DNA damage pathway regulated by BRCA1 and ATM. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012]

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

This frameshifting variant is predicted to result in a premature stop codon and is therefore considered a loss-of-function mutation. This variant has been previously reported as a compound heterozygous change in individuals with neurodevelopmental phenotypes of variable severity (PMID: 26494257, 26483087). This variant is present as a heterozygous change in the gnomAD population database at a frequency of 0.023%. Based on the available evidence, the c.294dupA (p.Leu99ThrfsTer92) variant is classified as a pathogenic change. -

The p.Leu99ThrfsX92 variant in BRAT1 has been reported in the compound heterozygous state (confirmed in trans) in at least 5 individuals with clinical features of variable severity consistent with BRAT1-associated neurodevelopmental disorders and segregated with the phenotype in 2 affected relatives from 1 family (Hanes 2015 PMID: 26483087, Mundy 2016 PMID: 26494257, Oatts 2017 PMID: 28635423, Taylor 2019 PMID: 31345272, Stodberg 2020 PMID: 32964447). This variant has also been reported by other clinical laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID 279703) and has been identified in 0.09% (22/24284) of Ashkenazi Jewish chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org, v4.0.0), consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 99 and leads to a premature termination codon 92 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Biallelic loss of function of the BRAT1 gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive BRAT1-related neurodevelopmental disorder. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive BRAT1-related neurodevelopmental disorders. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PP1_Moderate, PM3. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu99Thrfs*92) in the BRAT1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in BRAT1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 22279524, 25500575). This variant is present in population databases (rs776913277, gnomAD 0.08%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with neonatal onset of hypertonia and seizures and progressive global developmental delay, visual impairment, microcephaly, hypertonia, hyperreflexia, and seizures (PMID: 26483087, 26494257). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 279703). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The BRAT1 c.294dupA variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Leu99Thrfs*92). This variant has been reported in patients with BRAT1-associated neurodegenerative disorders (Hanes et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 26483087; Oatts et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28635423). This variant is reported in 0.074% of alleles in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent in gnomAD. Frameshift variants in BRAT1 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

The c.294dupA (p.L99Tfs*92) alteration, located in exon 4 (coding exon 3) of the BRAT1 gene, consists of a duplication of A at position 294, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon after 92 amino acids. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Based on data from the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) database, the BRAT1 c.294dupA alteration was observed in 0.02% (42/173320) of total alleles studied, with a frequency of 0.07% (3/4034) in the Ashkenazi Jewish subpopulation. This alteration has been described with a second alteration in trans in multiple unrelated patients who present with developmental delay, microcephaly, abnormal muscle tone, and various other anomalies (Hanes, 2015; Mundy, 2015; Oatts, 2017, Taylor, 2019)._x000D_ _x000D_ Manual edits for references:_x000D_ _x000D_ Mundy SA, et al.
