The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000274 in 1,461,792 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. 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]

The p.Ser361X variant in BRCA1 has been reported in 28 individuals with BRCA1-related cancers (Shattuck-Eidens 1995 PMID: 7837387, Rebbeck 2018 PMID: 29446198, Carter 2018 PMID: 30322717). It has also been identified in 0.003% (3/113498) of European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 361, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the BRCA1 gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal dominant hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). This variant was classified as pathogenic by the ClinGen-approved ENIGMA expert panel (Variation ID 54122). Another variant, c.1082C>G, resulting in the same amino acid change has been identified in individuals with BRCA1-related cancers and is approved as pathogenic in the ClinGen-approved ENIGMA expert panel. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant HBOC. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PS1, PM2, PS4. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser361*) 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 present in population databases (rs80359880, gnomAD 0.003%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 7837387, 8644702, 11504767, 20104584, 23704984). This variant is also known as 1201del11. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 54122). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.1082_1092del11 pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a deletion of 11 nucleotides at nucleotide positions 1082 to 1092, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.S361*). This alteration has been detected in several individuals with personal and/or family histories of breast/ovarian cancers, and has been reported as a Swedish founder mutation (Shattuck-Eidens D et al. JAMA. 1995 Feb 15;273(7):535-41; Håkansson S et al. Am J Hum Genet, 1997 May;60:1068-78; Loman N et al. J Natl Cancer Inst. 2001 Aug 15;93(16):1215-23; Borg A et al. Hum. Mutat. 2010 Mar;31(3):E1200-40; Janaviius R. EPMA J. 2010 Sep;1(3):397-412; Rebbeck TR et al. Hum Mutat, 2018 05;39:593-620; Dorling et al. N Engl J Med. 2021 02;384:428-439). Of note, this alteration is also described in the literature as 1201del11. 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 variant has been identified in 3/251146 chromosomes 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 BRCA1 c.1082_1092del11; p.Ser361Ter variant (rs80359880), also known as 1201del11, is reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with early-onset breast and/or ovarian cancer, and is thought to be a founder variant in Sweden (Borg 2010, Janavicius 2010, Johannsson 1996, Loman 2001, Malander 2004, Shattuck-Eidens 1995). This variant is reported as pathogenic by multiple laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID: 54122), and is only observed on three alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant induces an early termination codon and is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Borg A et al.
