Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.3333delA(p.Glu1112AsnfsTer5) 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 (★★★). 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]

This deletion of one nucleotide in BRCA1 is denoted c.3333delA at the cDNA level and p.Glu1112AsnfsX5 (E1112NfsX5) at the protein level. Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA1 3452delA. The normal sequence, with the base that is deleted in brackets, is AGCA[delA]GAAT. The deletion causes a frameshift which changes a Glutamic Acid to an Asparagine at codon 1112, and creates a premature stop codon at position 5 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.3333delA has been reported in several patients of Asian ethnicity with personal and/or family histories of breast and/or ovarian cancer (Elit 2001, Elit 2002, Hasmad 2015, Kwong 2016, Wong 2016). We consider this variant to be pathogenic. -

This variant deletes 1 nucleotide 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.3333delA (also known as 3452delA) pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at position 3333, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon. Since frameshifts are typically deleterious in nature, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation (ACMG Recommendations for Standards for Interpretation and Reporting of Sequence Variations. Revision 2007. Genet Med. 2008;10:294). -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu1112Asnfs*5) 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 and ovarian cancer (PMID: 11437933, 26541979, 27157322). This variant is also known as 3452delA. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 54847). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The BRCA1 p.Glu1112AsnfsX5 variant was identified by Elit (2001) in a Mongolian individual with ovarian cancer, and was also previously identified by our lab in an individual with ovarian cancer. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs80357966) “With pathogenic allele”, the BIC database (1X with clinical significance, classified as pathogenic), and the ClinVar database (submitted by BIC and Invitae). The same p.Glu1112AsnfsX5 amino acid change was also identified in UMD (1X, causal) and the COSMIC database (1X), although these were from different nucleotide variants than the one identified in this individual (c.3334delG and c.3336delA, respectively). The p.Glu1112AsnfsX5 variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at codon 1112 and leads to a premature stop codon 5 codons downstream. This alteration is then predicted to result in a truncated or absent protein and loss of function. In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -
