Ambry Genetics RCV000130182 SCV000185019 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2022-03-28 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The c.2940delA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 2940, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.P981Hfs*19). In one study, this alteration was identified in an individual with serous ovarian cancer (Pennington KP et al. Clin. Cancer Res. 2014 Feb;20(3):764-75). In a case control study, this alteration was detected in 1/2222 individuals with invasive epithelial ovarian cancer and 0/1528 matched controls. (Song H et al. Hum. Mol. Genet., 2014 Sep;23:4703-9). This alteration was also identified in a large, worldwide study of BRCA1/2 mutation positive families (Rebbeck TR et al. Hum. Mutat., 2018 05;39:593-620). Of note, this alteration is also known as 3059delA in published literature. 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.
Invitae RCV000206597 SCV000261453 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2023-12-31 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Pro981Hisfs*19) 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 epithelial ovarian cancer (PMID: 24728189). This variant is also known as 3059delA. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 91603). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV000206597 SCV000698990 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2016-08-02 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: The BRCA1 c.2940delA (p.Pro981Hisfs) variant results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncated or absent BRCA1 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.c.3764dupA/p.Asn1255fs). One in silico tool predicts a damaging outcome for this variant. This variant has been reported in numerous HBOC patients and is absent in 124124 control chromosomes. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic.
ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories RCV000999890 SCV000885075 pathogenic not specified 2018-07-02 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The BRCA1 c.2940delA; p.Pro981fs variant (rs80357876), is reported in the literature in an individual with ovarian cancer (Song 2014), and reported as pathogenic by multiple laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID: 91603). This variant is absent from the general population databases (1000 Genomes Project, Exome Variant Server, and Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant causes a frameshift by deleting a single nucleotide, so it 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 Song H et al.

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health RCV000130182 SCV000903721 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2022-06-13 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant deletes 1 nucleotide in exon 10 of the BRCA1 gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in two individuals affected with ovarian cancer (PMID: 24240112, 24728189) and has been identified in 2 families among the CIMBA participants (PMID: 29446198) (https://cimba.ccge.medschl.cam.ac.uk/). 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.
