Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.2101A>T(p.Lys701Ter) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 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]

Variant 17-43093430-T-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-43093430-T-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 233241.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars.
This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 10 of the BRCA1 gene, creating a 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 p.K701* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.2101A>T), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from an A to T substitution at nucleotide position 2101. This changes the amino acid from a lysine to a stop codon within coding exon 9. This variant has been reported in females with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Crawford B et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat., 2017 Jun;163:383-390; Gallardo-Rincón D et al. Transl Oncol, 2020 Feb;13:212-220). 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 nonsense variant causes the premature termination of BRCA1 protein synthesis. This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). In the published literature, the variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMIDs: 31869745 (2020), 28281021 (2017)). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys701*) 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 has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BRCA1-related conditions. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 233241). -
