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]

A known pathogenic mutation was detected in the BRCA1 gene (c.5098delC) This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu1700*) 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 ovarian cancer (PMID: 21156238, 22752604, 22874498, 26911350). This variant is also known as 5154delC, and c.5035del. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 55358) with 12 submissions. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant was confirmed by Sanger sequencing. -

This deletion of one nucleotide is denoted BRCA1 c.5035delC at the cDNA level and p.Leu1679Ter (L1679X) at the protein level. The normal sequence, with the base that is deleted in brackets, is TTAT[C]TAAT. The deletion causes a frameshift resulting in a nonsense variant, which changes a Leucine to a premature stop codon. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. BRCA1 c.5035delC, also published as BRCA1 c.5154delC using alternate nomenclature, has been observed in cases of familial breast cancer (Juwle 2012, Manguoglu 2010). -

This variant deletes 1 nucleotide in exon 16 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. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals and families affected with breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 21156238, 22752604, 22874498, 26911350, 27553291, 31528241, 33629534, 35377489). 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.5035delC pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 15 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 5035, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.L1679*). This alteration was identified in a large, worldwide study of BRCA1/2 mutation positive families (Rebbeck TR et al. Hum Mutat, 2018 May;39:593-620). Specifically, this variant has been reported in Indian and Pakistani patients with breast and/or ovarian cancer and is a proposed founder mutation (Singh J et al. Breast Cancer Res Treat, 2018 Jul;170:189-196; Rashid MU et al. Hered Cancer Clin Pract, 2019 Sep;17:27; Sunar V et al. Asia Pac J Clin Oncol, 2022 Feb;18:84-92; Rashid MU et al. Int J Cancer, 2022 Aug;151:402-411). Of note, this variant is also designated as 5154del 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. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu1679*) 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 ovarian cancer (PMID: 21156238, 22752604, 22874498, 26911350). This variant is also known as 5154delC. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 55358). RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this premature translational stop signal on mRNA splicing indicates it does not significantly alter splicing (internal data). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
