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	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Apr 09, 2022	Variant summary: BRCA1 c.4041_4042delAG (p.Gly1348AsnfsX7) 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 251088 control chromosomes. c.4041_4042delAG has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (example, Walsh_2011, Troudi_2007, Sugano_2008, Kim_2012, Eccles_1998, Judkins_2005). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories, an expert panel (ENIGMA) and a consortium (CIMBA) have submitted 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. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:3

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Jan 18, 2022	The c.4041_4042delAG pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 4041 to 4042, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.G1348Nfs*7). This mutation has been reported in multiple individuals/families with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) syndrome (Eccles DM et al. Br. J. Cancer. 1998 Jun;77:2199-203; Troudi W et al.

Of note, this alteration is also designated as c.4041delAG, 4158delAG and 4160delAG 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. -

The BRCA1 c.4041_4042delAG variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Gly1348Asnfs*7). This variant has been reported to be causative for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (HBOC; Eccles et al. 1998. PubMed ID: 9649133; Kang et al. 2002. PubMed ID: 12204006; Walsh et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 22006311; Park et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28111427; Mehta et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 30555256). This variant has not been reported in a large population database, indicating this variant is rare. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/55082). Frameshift variants in BRCA1 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
