Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.4015G>T(p.Glu1339*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,546 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. E1339E) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

not provided Pathogenic:2
Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss of function is a known mechanism of disease; Observed in individuals with a personal or family history consistent with pathogenic variants in this gene (PMID: 12879478); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Truncating variants in this gene are considered pathogenic by a well-established clinical consortium and/or database; Also known as 4134G>T; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 16267036, 28152038, 30720243, 12879478, 29922827) -
This nonsense variant causes the premature termination of BRCA1 protein synthesis. This variant has been reported in individuals with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer in the published literature (PMID: 21523855 (2011), 12879478 (2003)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000029 (1/34560 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is consistent with pathogenicity. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2
The p.E1339* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.4015G>T), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 4015. This changes the amino acid from a glutamic acid to a stop codon within coding exon 9. 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 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 an individual affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 12879478). This variant has been identified in 1/251154 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of BRCA1 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -
Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Pathogenic:2
Variant summary: The BRCA1 c.4015G>T (p.Glu1339X) 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. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory (e.g. c.4035delA (p.Glu1346fsX20), c.4041_4042delAG (p.Gly1348fsX7), and c.4065_4068delTCAA (p.Asn1355fsX10)). This variant is absent in 121374 control chromosomes, suggesting that it is not a common, benign variant. The variant of interest has been reported in affected individuals via publications (Judkins_2005 and Mullineaux_2003). In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu1339*) 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 (rs80357021, gnomAD 0.003%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 12879478). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37559). RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this premature translational stop signal on mRNA splicing indicates it does not significantly alter splicing (internal data). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
