Breast-ovarian cancer, familial, susceptibility to, 1    Pathogenic:7 
Variant allele predicted to encode a truncated non-functional protein. -
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. -

not provided    Pathogenic:4 
This nonsense variant causes the premature termination of BRCA1 protein synthesis. In the published literature, the variant has been reported in multiple individuals and families with hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 29446198 (2018), 16287141 (2005), 11802209 (2002), 10699917 (2000), 7493024 (1995)). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss of function is a known mechanism of disease; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Observed in association with BRCA1-related cancers (Gayther et al., 1995; Spitzer et al., 2000; Kroiss et al., 2005; Hahnen et al., 2017; Evans et al., 2022); Truncating variants in this gene are considered pathogenic by a well-established clinical consortium and/or database; Also known as 5298A>T; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 11802209, 29446198, 27756336, 10699917, 7493024, 16287141, 28715532, 27150160, 30787465, 30209399, 33758026) -

Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome    Pathogenic:3 
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. -
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. -

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. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -
