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 sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu908*) 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 breast and ovarian cancer and glioblastoma (PMID: 8554067, 19016756, 19949876, 25880076). This variant is also known as 2841G>T. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 54657). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.Glu908X variant in BRCA1 has been reported in >60 individuals with BRCA1-a ssociated cancers (Serova 1996, Couch 2015, Boukerroucha 2015, Breast Cancer Inf ormation Core (BIC), Sharing Clinical Reports Project). This variant has been id entified in 1/8600 European chromosomes by the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (h ttp://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS/; dbSNP rs80356978). This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 908, which is predicted to lead 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 ov arian cancer (HBOC). In addition, this variant was classified as Pathogenic on S eptember 8, 2016 by the ClinGen-approved ENIGMA expert panel (ClinVar SCV0002998 19.2). In summary, this variant meets our criteria to be classified as pathogeni c for HBOC in an autosomal dominant manner. -

Variant summary: The BRCA1 c.2722G>T (p.Glu908X) variant results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncated or absent BRCA1 protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. If a stable protein is made, Glu908X is predicted to eliminate the BRCT domain. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory (e.g. p.Val923fsX76, p.Asp936fsX63, etc.). One in silico tool predicts a damaging outcome for this variant. This variant was found in 1/121362 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000082, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic BRCA1 variant (0.0010005). The variant was cited in multiple HBOC patients in the literature and was shown to co-segregate with disease. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

The p.E908* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.2722G>T), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 2722. This changes the amino acid from a glutamic acid to a stop codon within coding exon 9. This mutation has been reported in multiple breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) syndrome kindreds to date (Serova O et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 1996 Jan;58:42-51; Walsh T et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 2011 Nov;108:18032-7; Boukerroucha M et al. BMC Cancer. 2015 Mar;15:181; De Brakeleer S et al. Clin. Genet.. 2016 Mar;89:336-40; Singh J et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2018 Jul;170(1):189-196). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -
