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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | GeneDx | Dec 13, 2017 | This pathogenic variant is denoted BRCA1 c.3661G>T at the cDNA level and p.Glu1221Ter (E1221X) at the protein level. The substitution creates a nonsense variant, changing a Glutamic Acid to a premature stop codon (GAA>TAA). This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This variant, also reported as 3780G>T using alternate nomenclature, has been reported in association with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (Peelen 1997, Dong 1998, Claes 2004, De Leeneer 2012, Hasmad 2015) and is considered pathogenic. - |

Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Pathogenic:3
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Invitae | Sep 28, 2023 | For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 54957). This variant is also known as 3780G>T. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 9150151, 21553119, 25452441, 26541979). This variant is present in population databases (rs80357310, gnomAD 0.006%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu1221*) 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). - |
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp | Mar 28, 2016 | Variant summary: This c.3661G>T variant results in a premature termination codon in exon 10, predicted to cause a truncated or absent BRCA1 protein. Heterozygous loss-of-function due to mutations in this gene is an established disease mechanism in HBOC or HBOC-related cancers. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory (e.g. p.Glu1373X, p.Gln1395X, p.Tyr1853X, etc.). This variant was found in 1/121338 control chromosomes from the large and broad populations of ExAC at a frequency of 0.0000082, which does not exceed the maximal expected frequency of a pathogenic allele (0.0010005) in this gene. This variant has been reported in several patients with HBOC in literature and clinical databases. Multiple clinical labs as well as reputable databases have classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant has been classified as a Disease Variant or Pathogenic. - |

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health | Nov 16, 2021 | 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 at least 10 individuals affected with breast, ovarian or pancreatic cancer (PMID: 11733976, 11802209, 15026808, 25452441, 26541979, 30078507, 30093976, 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA1_001444) and in two dozen families suspected to be affected with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 9150151, 9760198, 29446198). This variant also has been described as a recurrent mutation in individuals affected with breast and ovarian cancer from Belgium (PMID: 15026808). This variant has been identified in 1/251298 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. - |
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Ambry Genetics | Jan 10, 2024 | The p.E1221* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.3661G>T), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 3661. This changes the amino acid from a glutamic acid to a stop codon within coding exon 9. This alteration has been identified in multiple cohorts of individuals diagnosed with breast, ovarian and pancreatic cancer and has been recognized as a founder mutation in the Belgian population (Peelen T et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 1997 May;60:1041-9; Claes K et al. Br. J. Cancer. 2004 Mar;90:1244-51; Janaviius R. EPMA J. 2010 Sep;1:397-412; Couch FJ et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 2015 Feb;33:304-11; Hasmad HN et al. Gynecol. Oncol., 2016 05;141:318-322; Shindo K et al. J. Clin. Oncol., 2017 Oct;35:3382-3390; Blair AB et al. J. Am. Coll. Surg., 2018 04;226:630-637.e1; Chan GHJ et al. Oncotarget, 2018 Jul;9:30649-30660; Li A et al. Gynecol. Oncol., 2018 10;151:145-152). This alteration has also been seen in an exome cohort, but cardiovascular history was not provided (Amendola LM et al. Genome Res., 2015 Mar;25:305-15) and was identified in a large, worldwide study of BRCA1/2 mutation positive families (Rebbeck TR et al. Hum. Mutat., 2018 05;39:593-620). Of note, this mutation is also designated as 3780G>T in the 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. - |

Malignant tumor of breast Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided | clinical testing | Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System | - | The p.Glu1221X variant has been previously reported in the literature in at least 8 of 4008 chromosomes from individuals with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (Baeyens 2004, Claes 2004, Judkins 2005, Meindl 2002 , Peelen 1997). It has also been observed in public databases including BIC (9x as clinically important) and in the UMD (1x). The variant was also reported in dbSNP and in the exome variant server 1 in 8599 eurapean alleles and may be a low frequency pathogenic variant (rs80357310). The p.Glu1221X variant leads to a premature stop codon at position 1221, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein and loss of function. Loss of function variants of the BRCA1 gene are a known mechanism of mutation in hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. In summary, based on the above information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. - |
