Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV000496653 SCV000698932 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2016-03-01 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: The c.2241delC variant leads to premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncated or absent BRCA1 protein, which is a commonly known mechanism for disease. Truncations downstream of this position (e.g.c.2411_2412delAG, c.2475delC) have been classified internally as pathogenic. This variant is not found in 121378 control chromosomes, however, it has been reported in several breast cancer patients. In addition, multiple clinical laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant was classified as pathogenic.
Invitae RCV000496653 SCV001592115 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2020-08-03 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Loss-of-function variants in BRCA1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20104584). This variant has been reported in a family affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 16758124). This variant is also known as c.2360delC in the literature. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 54510). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Asp749Ilefs*4) in the BRCA1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product.

Ambry Genetics RCV002257393 SCV002725486 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2022-02-02 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The c.2241delC pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 2241, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.D749Ifs*4). This alteration was identified in a cohort of 206 unrelated breast and/or ovarian cancer cases from North India who met NCCN guidelines for genetic testing (Mehta A et al. Cancer Manag Res, 2018 Dec;10:6505-6516). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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.

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System RCV000077512 SCV000591374 pathogenic Breast-ovarian cancer, familial, susceptibility to, 1 no assertion criteria provided clinical testing The p.Asp749IlefsX4 deletion variant has been previously reported in the literature in 1 of 528 proband chromosomes in an individual with breast and ovarian cancer (Infante 2006). The p.Asp749IlefsX4 deletion variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at codon 749 and leads to a premature stop codon 4 codons downstream. This alteration is then predicted to result in a truncated or absent protein and loss of function. Loss of function variants of the BRCA1 gene are an established mechanism of disease in hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratory's criteria to be classified as pathogenic.
