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:3

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Genetic Services Laboratory, University of Chicago	Jan 21, 2022	DNA sequence analysis of the BRCA1 gene demonstrated a 11 base pair deletion in exon 2, c.70_80del. This pathogenic sequence change results in an amino acid frameshift and creates a premature stop codon 12 amino acids downstream of the change, p.Cys24Serfs*13. This pathogenic sequence change is predicted to result in an abnormal transcript, which may be degraded, or may lead to the production of a truncated BRCA1 protein with potentially abnormal function. The c.70_80del sequence change has not been described in the population databases such as ExAC and gnomAD (dbSNP rs1220450191). This pathogenic sequence change has previously been described in an individual with breast cancer and ovarian cancer (PMID: 7837387, 10498392, 25682074, 22711857, 26543556). -

It has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). In the published literature, this variant has been reported in individuals with breast cancer, PMIDs: 22711857 (2012), 26543556 (2015), and 25682074 (2015)) and pancreatic cancer (PMID: 28767289 (2017)).

Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome

Pathogenic:3

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Jan 05, 2024	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys24Serfs*13) 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 and ovarian cancer (PMID: 2246425, 7837387, 10498392, 20104584, 22711857, 25682074, 26543556). This variant is also known as 188del11 and 189del11. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 55676). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Apr 14, 2022	Variant summary: BRCA1 c.70_80del11 (p.Cys24SerfsX13) 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. The variant was absent in 251038 control chromosomes.The variant, c.70_80del11, has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (eg. Berman_1996, Hopper_1999, Alsop_2012, Dean_2015, Wong-Brown_2015). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Nine ClinVar submissions including one expert panel (ENIGMA) have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome

Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Mar 04, 2019	The c.70_80del11 pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 1 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a deletion of 11 nucleotides at nucleotide positions 70 to 80, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.C24Sfs*13). This mutation has been reported in multiple individuals with hereditary breast, ovarian, and/or pancreatic cancer (Berman DB et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 1996 Jun;58:1166-76; Frank TS et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 2002 Mar;20:1480-90; Kurian A et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 2008 Oct;26(29):4752-8; Shindo K et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 2017 Oct;35(30):3382-3390). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 188del11 and 189del11 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. -
