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.3710del (p.Ile1237Asnfs*27) variant alters the translational reading frame of the BRCA1 mRNA and causes the premature termination of BRCA1 protein synthesis. This variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with ovarian cancer (PMID: 8644702 (1996), 14746861 (2004), 18559594 (2008), 31825140 (2019)), endometrial cancer (PMID: 31263571 (2019)), and breast cancer (PMID: 22010008 (2011), 24131973 (2013), 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/BRCA1)). This variant has also been reported as a frequent mutation in the Danish HBOC families (PMID: 18465347 (2008)). 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. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This deletion of one nucleotide in BRCA1 is denoted c.3710delT at the cDNA level and p.Ile1237AsnfsX27 (I1237NfsX27) at the protein level. The normal sequence, with the base that is deleted in brackets, is AATA[delT]ACCT. The deletion causes a frameshift which changes an Isoleucine to an Asparagine at codon 1237, and creates a premature stop codon at position 27 of the new reading frame. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. BRCA1 c.3710delT, also defined as BRCA1 3829delT using alternate nomenclature, has been reported in association with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome and has been reported as a recurrent variant in Scandinavian populations (Johannsson 1996, Loman 2001, Malander 2004, Thomassen 2008). We consider this variant to be pathogenic. -

The BRCA1 c.3710delT; p.Ile1237fs variant (rs80357564), also known as 3829delT, is reported in the literature in individuals with breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (Heramb 2018, Johannsson 1996, Safra 2013). This variant is also reported as pathogenic in ClinVar (Variation ID: 54972). It is absent from general population databases (Exome Variant Server, Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant causes a frameshift by deleting a single nucleotide, so it is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. REFERENCES Heramb C et al.

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.3710delT (p.Ile1237AsnfsX27) 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. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory (eg. p.Glu1250X, p.Ser1253fsX10, p.Lys1254X). The variant was absent in 246022 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.3710delT has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (Kurian_2008, Malander_2003, Thomassen_2008). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Four ClinVar submissions from clinical diagnostic laboratories (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

The p.Ile1237AsnfsX27 variant in BRCA1 has been reported in >65 individuals with BRCA1-related cancers (first published by Johannsson, 1996 PMID: 8644702). It was absent from large population studies. This variant was classified as Pathogenic on 09/08/16 by the ClinGen-approved ENIGMA expert panel (Variation ID 54972). This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 1237 and leads to a premature termination codon 27 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the BRCA1 gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal dominant hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). Another variant additional variants involving this codon (c.3710_3711delTA, p.Ile1237Thrfs*6) has been identified in individuals with HBOC and is classified as pathogenic by other laboratories. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant HBOC. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM2, PS4. -
