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]

not provided Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneKor MSA	Jan 01, 2020	This sequence change deletes one nucleotide from exon 12 of the BRCA1 mRNA (c.4113delG), causing a frameshift after codon 1372 and the creation of a premature translational stop signal 21 amino acid residues later (p.Cys1372Valfs*21). This is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Truncating variants in BRCA1 are known to be pathogenic. The mutation database ClinVar contains entries for this variant (Variation ID: 125680). -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Aug 10, 2017	This deletion of one nucleotide in BRCA1 is denoted c.4113delG at the cDNA level and p.Cys1372ValfsX21 (C1372VfsX21) at the protein level. The normal sequence, with the base that is deleted in brackets, is CTGG[delG]TGTG. The deletion causes a frameshift which changes a Cysteine to a Valine at codon 1372, and creates a premature stop codon at position 21 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.4113delG, previously reported as 4232delG using alternate nomenclature, has been seen in at least one individual undergoing clinical BRCA1/2 testing due to personal and/or family history of cancer (Judkins 2005). We consider this variant to be pathogenic. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Mar 12, 2020	This variant deletes 1 nucleotide in exon 11 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. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Jul 27, 2021	The c.4113delG pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 4113, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon. This mutation has been previously reported in one Australian breast and/or ovarian cancer family (Rebbeck TR et al. Hum. Mutat. 2018 May;39(5):593-620). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function due to an abnormal transcript, a translational frameshift leading to premature truncation, or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys1372Valfs*21) 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 and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 10464631, 26014432). This variant is also known as c.4232delG. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 125680). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
