Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.2216_2217del(p.Lys739SerfsTer3) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. K739K) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.
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]

Frameshift 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 (Lek 2016); Truncating variants in this gene are considered pathogenic by a well-established clinical consortium and/or database; Also known as 2335_2336delAA; Observed in individuals with BRCA1-related cancers (Yassaee 2002, Azzollini 2016, Shi 2017); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 12100744, 12442265, 27062684, 27165220, 26187060, 27535533, 30702160, 28176296, 31825140) -
This variant deletes 2 nucleotides in exon 10 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. 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 (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.2216_2217delAA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 2216 to 2217, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.K739Sfs*3). This mutation has been reported in several unrelated individuals from diverse populations with early onset breast or ovarian cancer (Yassaee VR et al. Breast Cancer Res., 2002 Apr;4(4):R6; Azzollini J et al. Eur J Intern Med 2016 Jul;32:65-71; Shi T et al. Int J Cancer 2017 05;140(9):2051-2059). 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. -

ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 54504). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant is also known as c.2335_2336delAA. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 12100744, 27062684, 28176296). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys739Serfs*3) 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). -
