Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV000195361 SCV000076030 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2024-01-21 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr978*) 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 not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 9667663, 11493753, 17591843, 22399190). This variant is also known as 3053T>G and Tyr1017ter. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37493). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Ambry Genetics RCV000162860 SCV000213347 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2021-03-23 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.Y978* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.2934T>G), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 2934. This changes the amino acid from a tyrosine to a stop codon within coding exon 9. This mutation has been reported in numerous individuals or families with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Theodor L et al. Br. J. Cancer. 1998 Jun;77:1880-3; Shiri-Sverdlov R et al. Hum. Mutat. 2000 Dec;16:491-501; Risch HA et al. J. Natl. Cancer Inst. 2006 Dec;98:1694-706; Zhang S et al. Gynecol Oncol. 2011 May;121:353-7; Bernstein-Molho R et al. Breast Cancer Res Treat. 2018 02;167:697-702; Bhaskaran SP et al. Int J Cancer. 2019 08;145:962-973; Laitman Y et al. Hum Mutat. 2019 11;40:e1-e23). Two unrelated non-Ashkenazi Jewish ovarian cancer families carrying the p.Y978* alteration were found to share identical haplotypes, indicating a founder effect (Theodor L et al. Br. J. Cancer. 1998 Jun;77(11):1880-3). Of note, this may be referred to as 3053T>G in some literature. This variant was not reported in population-based 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.
Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano RCV000048017 SCV000296282 pathogenic not provided 2023-04-13 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing 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 affected individuals with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 30702160 (2019), 30322717 (2018), 30014164 (2018), 29086229 (2018), 21324516 (2011), and 17591843 (2007)). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic.

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health RCV000162860 SCV000683074 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2022-01-24 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing 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 been reported in individuals affected with breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 21324516, 22399190, 25452441, 26681312). 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.

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV000195361 SCV000916718 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2018-02-23 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: BRCA1 c.2934T>G (p.Tyr978X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory (e.g., p.Pro981fsX19 and p.Asn1002fsX22). The variant was absent in 246118 control chromosomes. The c.2934T>G variant has been reported in the literature in numerous individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Seven clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation; all laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
