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]

Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Pathogenic:5

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Jan 27, 2024	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln780*) 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 present in population databases (rs80356945, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 7663517, 9667259, 16683254, 21324516, 22006311, 22752604). This variant is also known as 2457C>T, Q780X. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 54540). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Oct 01, 2021	Variant summary: BRCA1 c.2338C>T (p.Gln780X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 250740 control chromosomes. p.Gln780X has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (example, Friedman_1995, Meindl_2002, Judkins_2005, Juwle_2012, Pennington_2014). Twelve clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine	Oct 28, 2016	The p.Gln780X variant in BRCA1 has been reported in >30 individuals with BRCA1-a ssociated cancers (Hogervorst 1995, Frank 1998, Meindl 2002, van der Hout 2006, Walsh 2011, Zhang 2011, Juwle 2012, Breast Cancer Information Core (BIC) databas e). This variant was absent from large population studies. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 780, which is predicted to l ead to a truncated or absent protein. Heterozygous loss of function of the BRCA1 gene is an established disease mechanism in individuals with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). In addition, this variant was classified as Pathogeni c on April 22, 2016 by the ClinGen-approved ENIGMA expert panel (ClinVar SCV0002 82277.1). In summary, this variant meets our criteria to be classified as pathog enic for HBOC in an autosomal dominant manner. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:3

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Mar 17, 2022	The p.Q780* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.2338C>T), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2338. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 9. This alteration has been reported numerous times in breast and ovarian cancer cohorts of varying ethnicities (Janaviius R. EPMA J. 2010 Sep;1:397-412; Zhang S et al. Gynecol. Oncol. 2011 May;121:353-7; Walsh T et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 2011 Nov;108:18032-7; Juwle A and Saranath D Med. Oncol. 2012 Dec;29:3272-81; Singh J et al Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2018 Jul;170(1):189-196). 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. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Jan 21, 2022	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 reported in individuals affected with ovarian and breast cancer (PMID: 21324516, 22006311, 22752604, 24240112, 29470806, 30322717, 31076742, 33726785, 9667259, Color internal data). In a large breast cancer case-control study conducted by the Breast Cancer Association Consortium, this variant was reported in 4/60466 cases, 0/53461 controls; p-value=0.128; (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA1_001125). This variant has been identified in 1/250740 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD).

The BRCA1 p.Gln780X variant was identified in 7 of 3350 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.002) from individuals or families with breast and ovarian cancers and was not identified in 100 control chromosomes from healthy individuals (Frank 1998, Hogervorst 1995, Juwle 2012, Zhang 2011). A study looking at MYC oncogene activation in BRCA1 germline vs sporadic breast tumours, found MYC was preferentially amplified in BRCA1 promoter methylated tumours and tumours carrying BRCA1 germline mutations, including the Gln780X, supporting MYC activated progression of BRCA1-associated breast cancers (Grushko 2004). In a Dutch study looking at the distribution of (pre)malignant lesions in both breast and adnexal (ovary and Fallopian tube) tissues of hereditary breast/ovarian high risk patients, compared to controls, the Gln780X mutation was associated with lesions in both the ovaries and Fallopian tubes (Hermsen 2006). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs80356945) “With pathogenic/uncertain significance allele”, but no frequency information was provided, thus the prevalence of this variant in the general population could not be determined. The p.Gln780X was also identified in HGMD, ClinVar database (classified as a pathogenic variant by the Sharing Clinical Reports Project (SCRP) derived from Myriad reports; classified as pathogenic by BIC; classified as pathogenic by Counsyl; and unclassified by Invitae), the BIC database (36X with pathogenic clinical importance), GeneInsight VariantWire database (classified as benign by a clinical laboratory)and UMD (1X as a 5-Causal variant). The variant was not identified in any cohorts from the general population, including the 1000 Genome Project, HapMap projects, NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (Exome Variant Server), or the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) database; COSMIC, LOVD, Breast Cancer IARC or LOVD-IARC. The p.Gln780X variant leads to a premature stop codon at position 780, 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. -
