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
Feb 13, 2017
Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: The BRCA1 c.34C>T (p.Gln12X) 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.101delC [Pro34fsX16]). One in silico tool predicts a damaging outcome for this variant (Mutation Taster); other in silico tools were not tested since this is a LoF variant. This variant was found in 1/120998 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000083, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic BRCA1 variant (0.0010005). 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.Gln12*) 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/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 12491499, 12672316, 24504028, 25777348, 28477318, 29470806). This variant is also known as Q12X and 153C>T. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 54902). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Q12* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.34C>T) located in coding exon 1 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 34. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 1. This alteration has been reported in multiple individuals diagnosed with breast and/or ovarian cancers and HBOC families (Adem C et al. Cancer. 2003 Jan;97:1-11; Cunningham JM et al. Sci. Rep. 2014 Feb;4:4026; Gabald&oacute; Barrios X et al. Fam. Cancer. 2017 10;16:477-489; Singh J et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2018 Jul;170:189-196; Bhaskaran SP et al. Int. J. Cancer. 2019 Jan [Epub ahead of print]). This alteration was also identified in a large, worldwide study of BRCA1/2 mutation positive families (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. -

This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 2 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 is also known as 153C>T in the literature. Functional studies have reported the variant protein as loss-of-function in E3 ubiquitin ligase and BARD1 binding assays and a haploid cell proliferation assay (PMID: 25823446, 30209399, 35659930). This variant has been observed in multiple individuals and families affected with breast, ovarian and fallopian tube cancers (PMID: 12097257, 12491499, 12672316, 16615107, 24504028, 26187060, 28477318, 29470806). This variant has been identified in 1/251122 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. -
