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]

This variant has been reported in individuals and families affected with breast cancer, ovarian cancer and peritoneal carcinoma (Walsh T et al). The variant is reported with the allele frequency of 0.0004118% in gnomAD database and is novel (not in any individuals) in 1000 Genomes. This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic. This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln1395*) 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 (Borg A et al.). The nucleotide change in BRCA1 is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.4183C>T (p.Gln1395X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the 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. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.1e-06 in 245892 control chromosomes. c.4183C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (example, Rebbeck_2018). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories, one expert panel (ENIGMA) and a consortium (CIMBA) have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln1395*) 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 present in population databases (rs80357260, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer, ovarian cancer and peritoneal carcinoma (PMID: 8531967, 22006311, 24504028, 26681312, 27553291). This variant is also known as 4302C>T. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 55125). 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. -

This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 11 of the BRCA1 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal in the BRCA1 protein. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been observed in multiple individuals affected with breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 8531967, 16760289, 16847550, 22711857, 24728189, 26014432, 26681312, 27553291, 29470806, 30322717, 31090900) and is reported to be a founder mutation in the Tyrolean population in Austria (PMID: 26014432). A multifactorial analysis also has reported a likelihood ratio for pathogenicity based on personal and family history of 2447.175 from log(LR)=3.388664961 for six carriers (PMID: 31853058). This variant has been identified in 1/242836 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. -

The c.4183C>T (p.Q1395*) alteration, located in exon 11 (coding exon 10) of the BRCA1 gene, consists of a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 4183. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine (Q) to a stop codon at amino acid position 1395. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Based on data from gnomAD, the T allele has an overall frequency of <0.001% (1/242836) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.001% (1/109528) of European (non-Finnish) alleles. This mutation has been extensively reported in the literature in individuals with a personal and/or family history of breast and/or ovarian and/or peritoneal cancer and/or colon cancer and associated with somatic loss of heterozygosity (Langston, 1996; Walsh, 2011; Cunningham, 2014; Rashid, 2016; Alemar, 2016; Alemar, 2017; Palmero, 2018; Singh, 2018; Soyano, 2018), as well as in a large, worldwide study of BRCA1/2 mutation positive families (Rebbeck, 2018). This alteration has also been shown to be highly prevalent in the Tyrolean population of Austria (P&ouml;lsler, 2016). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -

The variant BRCA1:c.4183C>T p.(Gln1395Ter) , which is located in the coding exon 11 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a cytosine-to-thymine substitution at nucleotide position 4183. The glutamine at protein position 1395 is replaced by a premature stop codon which is predicted to cause protein truncation or absence due to non-sense mediated decay. The variant has already been extensively published in unrelated individuals with personal and fammilial history of breast cancer (PMID: 29446198, 22006311, 8531967, 30322717) and also co-segregates with the disease (PMID: 15340362, 20104584, 29907814). It is considered a Tyrolean founder mutation (PMID: 26014432). In the ClinVar database, the variant have multiple entries (25) for Pathogenic or Likely pathogenic (VCV000055125.41) and is assessed as Pathogenic by the ENIGMA expert committee. This variant is very rare in the overall population (no carriers in gnomAD, gnomAD V3.1.2). The variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.4183C>T (p.Gln1395*) variant in the BRCA1 gene is located in exon 11, and is predicted to create a premature termination codon resulting in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with breast, ovarian and peritoneal carcinoma (PMID: 8531967, 16847550, 16998791, 22006311, 24504028, 24728189, 26014432, 26681312, 27425403, 27553291, 29161300, 29446198, 29470806, 29907814, 30322717, 31090900). This variant has been reported to be a founder mutation in the Tyrolean population (PMID: 26014432). Truncating variants in BRCA1 gene are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 21989022, 17661172, 22762150). This variant is rare (1/242836 chromosomes) in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database. This variant has been classified as pathogenic by multiple submitters in ClinVar including the expert panel. Therefore the c.4183C>T (p.Gln1395*) variant of the BRCA1 gene is classified as pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Gln1395X variant has been previously reported in the literature in 2 of 512 proband chromosomes from individuals with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer and absent from 100 control chromosomes (Langston 1996, Rashid 2006). In addition, this variant is reported in the BIC database 28x as clinically important and the UMD database 35x as causal. This variant leads to a premature stop codon at position 1395, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein product and loss of function. Loss of function variants of the BRCA1 gene are an established mechanism of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. In summary, based on the above information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
