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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing variant, NOT destroyed by nmd, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.61248213 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 5, offset of 45, new splice context is: gaaGTgagc. Cryptic site results in inframe change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF, max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.

The c.4096+1G>T intronic variant results from a G to T substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene. This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Using the BDGP and ESEfinder splice site prediction tools, this alteration is predicted to abolish the native splice donor site; however, direct evidence is unavailable. Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. However, this alteration is predicted to result in changes to naturally occurring, in-frame, isoforms and functional studies of these isoforms are uncertain with respect to clinically relevant disease (Colombo M et al. Hum. Mol. Genet., 2014 Jul;23:3666-80; Thakur S et al. Mol. Cell. Biol., 1997 Jan;17:444-52; Magdinier F et al. Oncogene, 1999 Jul;18:4039-43; Wilson CA et al. Oncogene, 1997 Jan;14:1-16; Huber LJ et al. Mol. Cell. Biol., 2001 Jun;21:4005-15; Wilson CA et al. Oncogene, 1997 Jan;14:1-16). Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Studies have shown disruption of this splice site is associated with multiple RNA products, but one or more of the resulting mRNA isoform(s) may be naturally occurring (PMID: 17011978; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 824585). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BRCA1-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 10 of the BRCA1 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in BRCA1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20104584). -
