RCV000707822 | SCV000836932 | likely pathogenic | Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome | 2019-11-30 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant results in a copy number gain of the genomic region encompassing exons 17-19 of the BRCA1 gene. While the exact position of this variant cannot be determined from this data, sub-genic copy number gains are generally in tandem (PMID: 25640679) and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Similar duplications have been reported in two families undergoing testing for hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 18330910, 12203994). This region is also known as exons 18-20 in the literature. Loss-of-function variants in BRCA1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20104584). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. |
