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]

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:3

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Dec 21, 2021	The p.Q1420* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.4258C>T), located in coding exon 11 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 4258. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 11. This mutation has been previously reported in multiple individuals with a personal and/or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (Minucci A et al. Expert Rev. Mol. Diagn. 2015 Aug;15:1383-403; Thirthagiri E et al. Breast Cancer Res. 2008 Jul;10:R59; Wen WX et al. J Med Genet, 2018 02;55:97-103; De Talhouet S et al. Sci Rep, 2020 04;10:7073; Dorling et al. N Engl J Med. 2021 02;384:428-439). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 4377C>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. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Apr 18, 2022	This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 12 of the BRCA1 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 18627636, 26306726; doi:10.1515/tjb.2019.0424). 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. -
