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 submitterclinical testingNew York Genome CenterJan 28, 2022The c.5266dup (p.Gln1756ProfsTer74) variant identified in the BRCA1 gene is the duplication of a single nucleotide resulting in a frameshift at amino acid 1756/1863 (exon 19/23). This variant is predicted to incorporate a premature termination codon at approximately 74 amino acids downstream and result in either loss-of-function via nonsense mediated decay or protein truncation. This variant is found with low frequency in gnomAD(v3.1.2) (8 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes; allele frequency: 1.972e-5), suggesting it is not a common benign variant in the populations represented in that database. The c.5266dup (p.Gln1756ProfsTer74) variant is reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic by an expert panel (VarID: 17677), and is one of the most frequently reported pathogenic variants in the BRCA1 gene. This variant has been reported in multiple affected individuals in the literature [PMID: 21119707, 24797986, 31706072, others]. Based on the available evidence c.5266dup(p.Gln1756ProfsTer74) variant is reported as Pathogenic. -

This variant is a founder mutation in the Ashkenazi Jewish population and is found with a high prevalence in Poland and Eastern Europe [PMID 20569256, 20345474, 20507347]. The estimated risk for carriers of this variant was 89% for breast cancer and 42% for ovarian cancer by age 70 [PMID 22430266]. This one bp duplication in exon 19 results in a frameshift and the creation of a premature stop codon. This variant is thus predicted to result in a loss of function of the protein. This variant has been detected in 19 individuals from the ExAC database (http://exac.broadinstitute.org/variant/17-41209079-T-TG). This variant thus classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingGenetic Services Laboratory, University of ChicagoJan 10, 2022DNA sequence analysis of the BRCA1 gene demonstrated a single base pair duplication in exon 19, c.5266dup. This pathogenic sequence change results in an amino acid frameshift and creates a premature stop codon 74 amino acids downstream of the change, p.Gln1756Profs*74. This pathogenic sequence change is predicted to result in an abnormal transcript, which may be degraded, or may lead to the production of a truncated BRCA1 protein with potentially abnormal function. This sequence change has been described in the gnomAD database with a frequency of 0.23% in the Ashkenazi Jewish subpopulation (dbSNP rs1217805587). This pathogenic sequence change is a well-described pathogenic BRCA1 variant and a known founder mutation in the Ashkenazi Jewish population reported in multiple individuals with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (PMID: 12473589, 15131399, 9042909, 22430266, 24764757, 26976419). The c.5266dup sequence change is also referred to as 5382insC in the scientific literature -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingJohns Hopkins Genomics, Johns Hopkins UniversityOct 29, 2021This BRCA1 variant (rs80357906) is rare (<0.1%) in a large population dataset (gnomAD: 51/282892 total alleles, 0.018%, no homozygotes) and has been reported in ClinVar. This frameshift variant results in a premature stop codon in exon 19 of 23 likely leading to nonsense-mediated decay and lack of protein production. This variant, also known as 5382insC and 5385insC in the literature, is a common cause of breast and ovarian cancer in the Ashkenazi Jewish population and has been reported in individuals from other ethnicities. This variant has been associated with a 67% to 89% risk of breast cancer by age 70, and a 33% to 42% risk of ovarian cancer by age 70. This variant was also identified in the patient's mother (JHG1740-2). We consider c.5266dupC to be pathogenic. -

This variant is present in population databases (rs397507247, gnomAD 0.2%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast and ovarian cancer. It is commonly reported in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry (PMID: 9042909, 22185575, 22430266). This variant is also known as 5382insC and 5385insC. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 17677). This variant has been associated with a 67% to 89% risk of breast cancer by age 70, and a 33% to 42% risk of ovarian cancer by age 70 (PMID: 15994883, 22430266). This variant disrupts a region of the BRCA1 protein in which other variant(s) (Deletion (Exon 23)) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 18431737, 24825132, 25428789; Invitae). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineNov 23, 2022The p.Gln1756ProfsX74 variant in BRCA1 (also referred to as p.Gln1777fs) is a founder variant in the Ashkenazi Jewish population and has been reported in >1000 individuals with BRCA1-associated cancers (Abeliovich 1997 PMID: 9042909, Elwad 2011 PMID: 22185575, Breast Cancer Information Core (BIC) database). This variant has also been identified in 0.2% (24/103702) Ashkenazi Jewish and 0.02% (25/129200) of European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 1756 and leads to a premature termination codon 74 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Heterozygous loss of function of the BRCA1 gene is an established disease mechanism in hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). Furthermore, the p.Gln1756ProfsX74 variant was classified as Pathogenic on April 22, 2016 by the ClinGen-approved ENIGMA expert panel (ClinVar ID 17677). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant HBOC. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PS4, PVS1. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpApr 22, 2016Variant summary: The BRCA1 c.5266dupC variant results in a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at position 1756 and leads to a premature termination codon 73 amino acids downstream. It is predicted to cause a truncated or absent BRCA1 protein due to non-sense meditated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory (such as c.5387C>A/p.Ser1796X, c.5417delC/Pro1806fsX28, etc). Mutation Taster predicts a damaging outcome for this variant, and functional studies have shown HR activity is significantly impaired by this variant (Bouwman_BRCA1_Cancer Discovery_2013). BRCA1 c.5266dupC was found in 19/121412 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0001565, which does not exceed maximal expected frequency of a pathogenic BRCA1 allele (0.0010005). The variant has been cited in hundreds of HBOC patients and is reported as a known common founder mutation in the literature. Additionally, this variant has been classified by multiple clinical labs and databases as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant was classified as disease variant/pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthMar 20, 2023This variant (also known as 5382insC and 5385insC) inserts 1 nucleotide in exon 19 of the BRCA1 gene, causing a frameshift and a premature translational stop signal in the last exon. The mutant transcript is expected to escape nonsense-mediated decay and be expressed as a truncated protein that lacks the C-terminal BRCT domain. Experimental studies have shown that variant impacts BRCA1 function in homology-directed repair and subcellular localization assays (PMID: 14729053, 23867111). This variant is a well-known founder mutation in the Ashkenazi Jewish population and occurs at 0.13-0.28% minor allele frequency (PMID: 8841191, 9145676, 11466700, 30152102). This variant has been reported in numerous individuals affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 7545954, 7894492, 8531967, 9042909, 9150153, 17922257, 18334730, 21643751, 22430266, 25418591, 29335925, 30480775, 30606148, 30975216). This variant is the most globally frequent, pathogenic BRCA1 variant and has been reported in diverse populations in Africa, America, Asia and Europe (PMID: 24312913). The risk of female breast cancer among carriers of this mutation is 67-89% by age 70, and the risk of ovarian cancer is 22-42% by age 70 (PMID: 9145676, 15994883, 22430266). A breast cancer case-control meta-analysis has reported this variant in 97/60369 cases and 11/53450 controls with an estimated OR of 7.808 (95%CI 4.185 to 14.567) (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA1_000440). This variant has been identified in 51/282892 chromosomes (24/10370 Ashkenazi Jewish chromosomes and 25/129200 Non-Finnish European chromosomes) 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. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMay 24, 2022The c.5266dupC (p.Q1756Pfs*74) alteration, located in exon 19 (coding exon 18) of the BRCA1 gene, consists of a duplication of C at position 5266, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon after amino acids. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This alteration is one of three well-characterized Ashkenazi Jewish founder mutations, with an overall carrier frequency of nearly 0.5% in this population, but has also been shown to occur at high frequency in many other European populations (Hartge, 1999; Hamel, 2011; Kluz, 2018). Cumulative female breast cancer and ovarian cancer risks (by age 70) associated with this specific mutation have been estimated in the literature at 67% (range: 36-83%) and 33% (range: 8-50%), respectively (Antoniou, 2005). Of note, this mutation is also designated as 5382insC and 5385insC in the published literature. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
