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]

The BRCA1 c.3904G>T (p.Glu1302*) variant causes the premature termination of BRCA1 protein synthesis. This variant has been reported in the published literature in several affected individuals with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMIDs: 17688236 (2007), 26833046 (2016), 30128899 (2018), 32854451 (2020), and 33403015 (2020)). It was also reported in an individual with breast cancer in a large scale breast cancer association study (PMID: 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/BRCA1)). A functional study demonstrated that this variant had an inconclusive effect on protein function (PMID: 15781624 (2005)). This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). 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); Truncating variants in this gene are considered pathogenic by a well-established clinical consortium and/or database; Observed in individuals with personal or family history of breast or ovarian cancer (Casadei et al., 2001; Judkins et al., 2005; Ramus et al., 2007; Nielsen et al., 2016); Also known as 4023G>T; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 19826428, 25525159, 17688236, 16267036, 26833046, 22762150, 32854451, 29446198, 11556835, 15781624, 30128899, 33403015, 33471991, 31209999, 31853058, 29884841, 32377563, 37460658, 32380732) -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Glu1302X variant in BRCA1 has been reported in at least 3 individuals with breast cancer, and segregated with disease in one affected relative (Casadei 2001, Nielsen 2016, Ramus 2017). In addition, this variant was classified as Pathogenic on September 8, 2016 by the ClinGen-approved ENIGMA expert panel (ClinVar SCV000300040.2) and was absent from large population studies. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 1302 which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Heterozygous loss of function of the BRCA1 gene is an established disease mechanism in hereditary breast and ovariant cancer. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer in an autosomal dominant manner based case reports, absence from controls and predicted impact on protein.

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.3904G>T (p.Glu1302X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant was absent in 251170 control chromosomes. c.3904G>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with or with family history of Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (HBOC) (e.g. Judkins_2005, Lecarpentier_2012, Ramus_2007, Sirchia_2005, Rebbeck_2018). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, however, does not allow convincing conclusions about the variant effect (e.g. Sirchia_2005). Seven submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu1302*) 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 cancer (PMID: 17688236). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 55045). RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this premature translational stop signal on mRNA splicing indicates it does not significantly alter splicing (Invitae). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.E1302* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.3904G>T), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 3904. This changes the amino acid from a glutamic acid to a stop codon within coding exon 9. This alteration has been reported in multiple individuals diagnosed with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Ramus SJ et al. Hum. Mutat. 2007 Dec; 28(12):1207-15; Nielsen HR et al. Fam. Cancer 2016 Feb; Marchetti C et al. Ann Surg Oncol, 2018 Nov;25:3701-3708; Fanale D et al. Cancers (Basel), 2020 Aug;12:; Incorvaia L et al. Ther Adv Med Oncol, 2020 Dec;12:1758835920975326; Dorling et al. N Engl J Med. 2021 02;384:428-439). This alteration was also identified in a large, worldwide study of BRCA1/2 mutation positive families (Rebbeck TR et al. Hum Mutat, 2018 05;39:593-620). 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. -
