The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.3967C>T(p.Gln1323*) 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 identified in 1/251276 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 p.Q1323* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.3967C>T), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 3967. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 9. This mutation has been reported in multiple breast and ovarian cancer families (Miki Y et al. Science. 1994 Oct 7;266(5182):66-71; Giannini G et al. Breast Cancer Res Treat. 2006 Nov;100(1):83-91). Of note, this mutation has been designated as Gln->Stop at codon 1313 and 4086C>T in published literature. 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 sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln1323*) 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: 29907814, 30702160). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 55062). 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. -

The BRCA1 c.3967C>T (p.Gln1323*) variant causes the premature termination of BRCA1 protein synthesis. This variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals and families affected with breast/ovarian cancer (PMIDs: 16760289 (2006), 16847550 (2006), 28294317 (2017)) and in an individual affected with urothelial cancer (PMID: 37060015 (2023)). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
