The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.3817C>T(p.Gln1273Ter) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,872 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 (★★★). 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]

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 been reported in multiple individuals and families affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 16261400, 18097605, 24728189, 24916970, 25682074, 27553368, 29088781, 31125277, 33008098), and has been described as a founder variant in the Chilean population (PMID: 29088781). This variant has been identified in 11 families among the CIMBA participants (PMID: 29446198) (https://cimba.ccge.medschl.cam.ac.uk/) and in a breast cancer case-control meta-analysis in 2/60466 cases and 0/53461 unaffected individuals (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA1_001874). 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. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln1273*) 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 ovarian cancer (PMID: 17063270, 24728189, 24916970, 25682074, 29088781). This variant is also known as 3936C>T. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 55015). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.Q1273* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.3817C>T), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 3817. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 9. This mutation has been reported in multiple hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer families of various ethnicities (Tapia T et al. Epigenetics. Jun;3:157-63; Gallardo M et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2006 Jan;95:81-7; Peixoto A et al. Clin. Genet. 2015 Jul;88:41-8; Pinto P et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2016 Sep;159:245-56; Alvarez C et al. Oncotarget, 2017 Sep;8:74233-74243; Heramb C et al. Hered Cancer Clin Pract. 2018 Jan;16:3; Rebbeck TR et al. Hum Mutat 2018 05;39(5):593-620). This alteration has also been reported in a Polish cohort of triple negative breast cancer patients (Wong-Brown MW et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2015 Feb;150:71-80; Domagala P et al. PLoS ONE. 2015 Jun;10:e0130393). In one case control study, this mutation was detected in 1/2222 individuals with invasive epithelial ovarian cancer and 0/1528 matched controls (Song H et al. Hum. Mol. Genet. 2014 Sep;23:4703-9). 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. -
