Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.4480G>T(p.Glu1494Ter) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000137 in 1,461,410 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. E1494E) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 17-43076492-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-43076492-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 55209.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars. Variant chr17-43076492-C-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic]. Variant chr17-43076492-C-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 13 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 at least two individuals affected with high-risk breast cancer and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 15642173, 28727877) and in suspected hereditary breast and ovarian cancer families (PMID: 27376475, 29483665, 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. -

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 55209). This variant is also known as 4599G>T. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with a personal and/or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 15642173, 29446198). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu1494*) 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). -
