Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PVS1PM5_StrongPS3

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.68_69del variant in BRCA1 is a deletion of two nucleotides, predicted to encode a frameshift with consequent premature termination of the protein at codon 17 of the frameshift, or amino acid 39 (p.Glu23ValfsTer17). This variant is present in gnomAD v2.1 (exomes only, non-cancer subset) or gnomAD v3.1 (non-cancer subset) but is below the ENIGMA BRCA1/2 VCEP threshold >0.00002 for BS1_Supporting (PM2_Supporting, BS1, and BA1 are not met). Frameshift variant predicted to cause a premature stop codon in biologically-relevant-exon 3 leading to nonsense mediated decay (PVS1 met). The ENIGMA BRCA1/2 VCEP considered multiple lines of functional and clinical evidence to define exon-specific weights for PTC in BRCA1, and results indicate that strong evidence towards pathogenicity may be applied for a PTC variant in BRCA1 exon 3 (PM5_Strong (PTC)). Reported by one calibrated study to exhibit protein function similar to pathogenic control variants (PMID:32546644) (PS3 met).In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as a Pathogenic variant variant for BRCA1-related cancer predisposition based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied as specified by the ENIGMA BRCA1/2 VCEP (PVS1, PM5_Strong (PTC), PS3).

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]

Functional assays showed this variant was deleterious (Bouwman P et al. 2013). The p.Glu23ValfsTer17 variant has an allele frequency of 0.02% in gnomAD Exomes. This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic (multiple submitters). This variant causes a frameshift starting with codon Glutamic Acid 23, changes this amino acid to Valine residue, and creates a premature Stop codon at position 17 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Glu23ValfsTer17. This variant is predicted to cause a loss of normal protein function through protein truncation. Loss of function variants has been previously reported to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Pathogenic:12Other:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineSep 01, 2020The p.Glu23ValfsX17 variant in BRCA1 has been reported in numerous individuals with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) and is a known pathogenic Ashkenazi Jewish founder variant (Struewing 1997 PMID: 9145676, Abeliovich 2013 PMID: 9042909). It has also been identified in 0.4% (42/10368) of Ashkenazi Jewish and 0.009% (11/128780) of European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Please note that this frequency is low enough to be consistent with the frequency of HBOC in the general population. This frameshift variant is predicted to alter the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at position 23 and lead to a premature termination codon 17 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 individuals with HBOC. Additionally, this variant was classified as Pathogenic on April 22, 2016 by the ClinGen-approved ENIGMA expert panel (ClinVar SCV000282348.1). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for HBOC in an autosomal dominant manner based upon the predicted impact to the protein and presence in multiple affected individuals.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaJun 14, 2016The c.68_69delAG (p.Glu23ValfsTer17) variant, also commonly known as 185delAG, is a frameshift variant that is very well described in the literature as one of the most frequent variants found in breast cancer (Shattuck-Eidens et al. 1995; Offit et al. 1996). It was first identified in a study by Simard et al. (1994) in index cases from four unrelated Canadian families with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). Wang et al. (2012) conducted a meta-analysis of over 29 studies published between 2000 and 2010 and determined the overall frequency of the p.Glu23ValfsTer17 variant in 2128 breast cancer cases to be 0.072. The variant is one of three known common founder germline variants primarily found in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish heritage (Struewing et al. 1997; Abeliovich et al. 1997; Laitman et al. 2013) and has been detected in 20% of Ashkenazi Jewish women diagnosed with breast cancer before age 42 years (Offit et al 1996). In the Ashkenazi Jewish population, the variant is associated with a risk of between 56% and 83% of breast cancer and of between 14% and 58% risk of ovarian cancer by the age of 70 (Struewing et al. 1997; Antoniou et al. 2005; Finkelman et al. 2012). The variant has been observed in individuals of other ethnicities (Wang et al. 2012; Laitman et al. 2013). The variant is reported at a frequency of 0.00042 in the European (Non-Finnish) population of the Exome Aggregation Consortium. Based on the available evidence, the p.Glu23ValfsTer17 variant is classified as pathogenic for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJun 28, 2022The c.68_69delAG (p.E23Vfs*17) alteration, located in exon 2 (coding exon 1) of the BRCA1 gene, consists of a deletion of 2 nucleotides from position 68 to 69, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon after 17 amino acids. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Based on data from gnomAD, this variant has an overall frequency of 0.021% (58/282442) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.405% (42/10368) of Ashkenazi Jewish alleles. This alteration is one of three well-characterized Ashkenazi Jewish founder mutations, with an overall carrier frequency of nearly 1% in this population (Struewing, 1995; Hartge, 1999). Average female breast cancer and ovarian cancer risks (by age 70) associated with this specific mutation have been estimated at 64% (range: 34-80%) and 14% (range: 2-24%), respectively (Antoniou, 2005). Additionally, this germline mutation has been reported in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent with personal and/or family history of pancreatic cancer (Lucas, 2013; Lucas, 2014). It has also been identified in multiple Spanish hereditary breast and ovarian cancer families (Gabaldó Barrios, 2017). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, reviewed by expert panelcurationClinGen ENIGMA BRCA1 and BRCA2 Variant Curation Expert Panel, ClinGenJun 11, 2024The c.68_69del variant in BRCA1 is a deletion of two nucleotides, predicted to encode a frameshift with consequent premature termination of the protein at codon 17 of the frameshift, or amino acid 39 (p.Glu23ValfsTer17). This variant is present in gnomAD v2.1 (exomes only, non-cancer subset) or gnomAD v3.1 (non-cancer subset) but is below the ENIGMA BRCA1/2 VCEP threshold >0.00002 for BS1_Supporting (PM2_Supporting, BS1, and BA1 are not met). Frameshift variant predicted to cause a premature stop codon in biologically-relevant-exon 3 leading to nonsense mediated decay (PVS1 met). The ENIGMA BRCA1/2 VCEP considered multiple lines of functional and clinical evidence to define exon-specific weights for PTC in BRCA1, and results indicate that strong evidence towards pathogenicity may be applied for a PTC variant in BRCA1 exon 3 (PM5_Strong (PTC)). Reported by one calibrated study to exhibit protein function similar to pathogenic control variants (PMID: 32546644) (PS3 met). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as a Pathogenic variant variant for BRCA1-related cancer predisposition based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied as specified by the ENIGMA BRCA1/2 VCEP (PVS1, PM5_Strong (PTC), PS3). -
