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:3

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Jul 17, 2021	This variant has been reported in the literature in a family affected with breast cancer (PMID: 12673801). This variant is also known as 2682C>T in the literature. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37475). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln855*) 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). 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	Dec 04, 2017	Variant summary: The BRCA1 c.2563C>T (p.Gln855X) 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. p.Ser955X, p.Glu1017X, p.Leu1086X etc.). This variant is absent in 245796 control chromosomes (gnomAD). It has been reported in several HBOC patients/families in literature and clinical databases, including two patients who had early onset breast cancer. Several clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases have classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

not provided Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Oct 02, 2018	This variant is denoted BRCA1 c.2563C>T at the cDNA level and p.Gln855Ter (Q855X) at the protein level. The substitution creates a nonsense variant, which changes a Glutamine to a premature stop codon (CAG>TAG), and is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This variant has been reported in association with breast cancer (Lalloo 2003, Perkowska 2003) and is considered pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano	May 23, 2021	This nonsense variant causes the premature termination of BRCA1 protein synthesis. In addition, it has been reported in individuals with breast or ovarian cancer in the published literature (PMID: 32420470 (2020), 29446198 (2018), and 12673801 (2003)). This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Dec 12, 2022	The p.Q855* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.2563C>T), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2563. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 9. This alteration has been reported in several BRCA1 mutation-positive families (Perkowska M et al. Hum. Mutat., 2003 May;21:553-4; Rebbeck TR et al. Hum. Mutat., 2018 05;39:593-620). 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	Sep 15, 2021	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. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been detected in at least two individuals affected with breast cancer and in suspected hereditary breast and ovarian cancer families (PMID: 12672316, 12673801, 29446198). This variant has not been identified 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. -
