The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.1102G>T(p.Glu368Ter) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. 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 (★★★). Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.
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]

The p.E368* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1102G>T), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 1102. This changes the amino acid from a glutamic acid to a stop codon within coding exon 9. This mutation has been reported in multiple individuals with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) syndrome (Maleva I et al. Balkan J Med Genet, 2012 Dec;15:81-5; Azzollini J et al. Eur J Intern Med, 2016 Jul;32:65-71; Walker LC et al. Eur J Hum Genet, 2017 04;25:432-438; Jakimovska M et al. Breast Cancer Res Treat, 2018 Apr;168:745-753; 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 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 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. -

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 54128). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with personal or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 27062684, 29335924, 29446198). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu368*) 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). -
