The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.2T>G(p.Met1?) variant causes a start lost change. 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 (★★).
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]

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.2T>G (p.Met1Arg) alters the initiation codon and is predicted to result either in absence of the protein or truncation of the encoded protein due to translation initiation at a downstream codon. Four of four in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 250886 control chromosomes. c.2T>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (example, Sekine_2001, Judkins_2005, Wang_2015, Sun_2017, Bhaskaran_2019, McVeigh_2020). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. At least two publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in loss of function as evaluated by BRCA1-dependent growth of yeast colonies that increases with pathogenic but not neutral mutations (Millot_2011) and cellular fitness in a haploid human cell line whose survival is dependent on intact BRCA1 function (Findlay_2018). One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change affects the initiator methionine of the BRCA1 mRNA. The next in-frame methionine is located at codon 18. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this variant affects BRCA1 protein function (PMID: 30209399, 21922593). Disruption of the initiator codon has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 25480878, 28724667, 22006311, 9145677, 11802209). This variant is also known as Met1Arg. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 54746). -

This variant disrupts the translation initiation codon of the BRCA1 protein and is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. A functional study has reported that this variant impacts BRCA1 function in a haploid human cell proliferation assay (PMID: 30209399). This variant has been observed in at least three individuals affected with breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 11595708, 25480878, 32008151, 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA1_002590). A different mutation c.1A>G at codon 1 has been observed in at least 5 individuals affected with breast, ovarian and fallopian tube cancer (PMID: 12827452, 16912212, 22006311, 24504028, 24884479). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -
