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	All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health	Jan 06, 2024	The c.5179A>T (p.Lys1727*) variant of the BRCA1 gene creates an early stop codon. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with breast cancer, ovarian cancer and uterine cancer (PMID: 7493024, 10699917, 11802209, 16287141). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Truncating variants in BRCA1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 21989022, 17661172, 22762150). Therefore, the c.5179A>T (p.Lys1727*) variant of the BRCA1 gene is classified as pathogenic. -

Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Pathogenic:3

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Jan 19, 2024	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys1727*) 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 hereditary breast cancer (PMID: 7493024, 16287141). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as 5298A>T. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37645). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine	Apr 02, 2019	The p.Lys1727X variant in BRCA1 has been reported in at least 10 individuals with hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer (HBOC) and segregated with disease in 1 affected relative (Gayther 1995, Kroiss 2005, Rebbeck 2018, BIC database). It was absent from large population studies. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 1727, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss-of-function of the BRCA1 gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal dominant HBOC. In vitro functional studies support an impact on protein function (Findlay 2018). In addition, this variant was classified as Pathogenic by the ClinGen-approved ENIGMA expert panel (Variation ID: 37645). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant HBOC. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM2, PS4_Moderate. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Jun 10, 2021	The p.K1727* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.5179A>T), located in coding exon 17 of the BRCA1 gene, results from an A to T substitution at nucleotide position 5179. This changes the amino acid from a lysine to a stop codon within coding exon 17. This pathogenic mutation has been reported in multiple individuals or families with ovarian and/or breast cancer, as well as in one individual diagnosed with uterine cancer (Gayther SA et al. Nat. Genet., 1995 Dec;11:428-33; Spitzer E et al. Int. J. Cancer, 2000 Feb;85:474-81; Meindl A et al. Int J Cancer, 2002 Feb;97:472-80; Kroiss R et al. Hum Mutat, 2005 Dec;26:583-9; Walker LC et al. Eur J Hum Genet, 2017 04;25:432-438; Rebbeck TR et al. Hum Mutat, 2018 05;39:593-620; Yadav S et al. J Clin Oncol, 2020 05;38:1409-1418; Dorling et al. N Engl J Med. 2021 02;384:428-439). One functional study found that this nucleotide substitution is non-functional in a high-throughput, genome editing, haploid cell survival assay (Findlay GM et al. Nature, 2018 10;562:217-222). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 5298A>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. -
