Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV000048047 SCV000076060 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2024-08-14 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change affects a splice site in intron 5 of the BRCA1 gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or altered protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 9333265, 10486320, 12815598, 16619214, 20104584). This variant is also known as 421-2delA and IVS6-2delA. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 54753). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site alters mRNA splicing and is expected to lead to the loss of protein expression (PMID: 12815598, 16619214). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
Ambry Genetics RCV000130037 SCV000184863 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2024-10-25 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The c.302-2delA intronic pathogenic mutation results from the deletion of one nucleotide two nucleotides upstream from coding exon 5 of the BRCA1 gene. This mutation has been described in multiple families with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) syndrome (Shattuck-Eidens D et al. JAMA. 1997 Oct;278:1242-50; Gayther SA et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 1999 Oct;65:1021; Tesoriero AA et al. Hum. Mutat. 2005 Nov;26:495; Borg A et al. Hum. Mutat. 2010 Mar;31:E1200-40; Rebbeck TR et al. Hum. Mutat. 2018 May;39:593-620). RNA studies have also demonstrated that this alteration results in an aberrant transcript that results in the deletion of 10 base pairs from coding exon 5 and results in a frameshift (Ambry internal data; Chen X et al. Hum. Mutat. 2006 May;27:427-35; Southey MC et al. Hum. Mutat. 2003 Jul;22:86-91). This alteration was classified as pathogenic in a multifactorial model of variant interpretation that incorporates co-segregation, family history, co-occurrence, tumor pathology, and case-control data (Parsons MT et al. Hum. Mutat. 2019 09;40(9):1557-1578). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 421-2delA and IVS6-2delA in published literature. In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is classified as a disease-causing mutation.

Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine RCV000048047 SCV000967734 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2018-03-16 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The c.302-2delA variant in BRCA1 has been reported in at least 16 individuals wi th breast and/or ovarian cancer (Shattuck-Eidens 1997, Gayther 1999, Southey 200 3, Chen 2006, Borg 2010, BIC database [https://research.nhgri.nih.gov/bic/]) and segregated with disease in at least 9 affected relatives from 1 family (Southey 2003). This variant has also been reported by other clinical laboratories in C linVar (Variation ID# 54753) and was absent from large population databases. Th e c.302-2delA variant occurs in the invariant region (+/- 1,2) of the splice con sensus sequence and is predicted to cause altered splicing leading to an abnorma l or absent protein. In vitro studies as well as sequencing of cDNA from individ uals with this variant showed that it leads to activation of a cryptic splice si te, leading to 10 bp frameshift at the beginning of the next exon and resulting in the addition of 14 new amino acid residues and a premature stop codon (Chen 2 006). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) in an autosomal dominant manner bas ed upon presence in multiple affected individuals, segregation studies, absence from the general population, functional evidence, and predicted impact on the pr otein.

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health RCV000130037 SCV001340640 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2021-09-28 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant causes deletion of the nucleotide at the -2 position of intron 5 of the BRCA1 gene. RNA studies found the variant to activate a cryptic splice acceptor site leading to a 10bp frameshift, premature truncation, and nonsense-mediated decay (PMID: 12815598, 16619214). This variant has been observed in individuals affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 9333265, 10486320, 12815598, 16211554, 16619214, 20104584) and has been identified in 22 families among CIMBA participants (PMID: 29446198). In one large pedigree, this variant was found to segregate with breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and melanoma in at least 9 affected individuals (PMID: 12815598). 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 RCV000048047 SCV001360564 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2019-10-28 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: BRCA1 c.302-2delA is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Five predict the variant abolishes a canonical 3 acceptor site and two predict it creates/strengthens a cryptic exonic 3 acceptor site. These predictions are supported by analysis of cDNA products demonstrating that the variant activates a cryptic splicing site which results in a 10-bp frameshift deletion at the beginning of exon 6 causing the addition of 14 new residues and resulting in a premature stop codon (Chen_2006). c.302-2delA has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (Tesoriero_2005, Borg_2010, Rebbeck_2018). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Six ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
