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	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Oct 05, 2022	This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 24884479, 25007954, 28176296). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Phe1571*) 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 also known as c.4831del5. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 55269). -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Jan 17, 2024	Variant summary: BRCA1 c.4712_4716delTCTCT (p.Phe1571X) 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 251228 control chromosomes. c.4712_4716delTCTCT has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with at least ovarian cancer (e.g. Wen_2023). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 37523182). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 55269). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories	Feb 22, 2018	The BRCA1 c.4712_4716delTCTCT; p.Phe1571Ter variant (rs80357718), also known as c.4831del5, is published in the medical literature in one individual with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (Silva 2014). This variant is described in the ClinVar database (Variation ID: 55269). This deletion removes 5 nucleotides and results in an immediate stop codon. The variant is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Considering available information, the variant is classified as pathogenic.

This variant deletes 5 nucleotides in exon 15 of the BRCA1 gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. Splice site prediction tools suggest that this variant may not impact RNA splicing. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast cancer in the literature (PMID 24884479). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of BRCA1 function is a known mechanism of disease. Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -
