ClinGen ENIGMA BRCA1 and BRCA2 Variant Curation Expert Panel, ClinGen RCV004566751 SCV004101425 pathogenic BRCA1-related cancer predisposition 2024-06-11 reviewed by expert panel curation The c.68_69del variant in BRCA1 is a deletion of two nucleotides, predicted to encode a frameshift with consequent premature termination of the protein at codon 17 of the frameshift, or amino acid 39 (p.Glu23ValfsTer17). This variant is present in gnomAD v2.1 (exomes only, non-cancer subset) or gnomAD v3.1 (non-cancer subset) but is below the ENIGMA BRCA1/2 VCEP threshold >0.00002 for BS1_Supporting (PM2_Supporting, BS1, and BA1 are not met). Frameshift variant predicted to cause a premature stop codon in biologically-relevant-exon 3 leading to nonsense mediated decay (PVS1 met). The ENIGMA BRCA1/2 VCEP considered multiple lines of functional and clinical evidence to define exon-specific weights for PTC in BRCA1, and results indicate that strong evidence towards pathogenicity may be applied for a PTC variant in BRCA1 exon 3 (PM5_Strong (PTC)). Reported by one calibrated study to exhibit protein function similar to pathogenic control variants (PMID: 32546644) (PS3 met). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as a Pathogenic variant variant for BRCA1-related cancer predisposition based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied as specified by the ENIGMA BRCA1/2 VCEP (PVS1, PM5_Strong (PTC), PS3).
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV000034761 SCV000077108 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2024-01-31 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu23Valfs*17) 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 present in population databases (rs386833395, gnomAD 0.4%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast and ovarian cancer, and pancreatic cancer (PMID: 9042909, 15994883, 22430266, 23658460, 24737347). It is commonly reported in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry (PMID: 8571953, 8651293, 9042909, 9921907, 15994883, 22430266, 23658460, 24737347). This variant is also known as 185delAG or 187delAG. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 17662). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
Ambry Genetics RCV000131394 SCV000186370 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2022-06-28 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The c.68_69delAG (p.E23Vfs*17) alteration, located in exon 2 (coding exon 1) of the BRCA1 gene, consists of a deletion of 2 nucleotides from position 68 to 69, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon after 17 amino acids. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Based on data from gnomAD, this variant has an overall frequency of 0.021% (58/282442) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.405% (42/10368) of Ashkenazi Jewish alleles. This alteration is one of three well-characterized Ashkenazi Jewish founder mutations, with an overall carrier frequency of nearly 1% in this population (Struewing, 1995; Hartge, 1999). Average female breast cancer and ovarian cancer risks (by age 70) associated with this specific mutation have been estimated at 64% (range: 34-80%) and 14% (range: 2-24%), respectively (Antoniou, 2005). Additionally, this germline mutation has been reported in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent with personal and/or family history of pancreatic cancer (Lucas, 2013; Lucas, 2014). It has also been identified in multiple Spanish hereditary breast and ovarian cancer families (Gabaldó Barrios, 2017). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic.

Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine RCV000034761 SCV000271311 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2020-09-01 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.Glu23ValfsX17 variant in BRCA1 has been reported in numerous individuals with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) and is a known pathogenic Ashkenazi Jewish founder variant (Struewing 1997 PMID: 9145676, Abeliovich 2013 PMID: 9042909). It has also been identified in 0.4% (42/10368) of Ashkenazi Jewish and 0.009% (11/128780) of European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Please note that this frequency is low enough to be consistent with the frequency of HBOC in the general population. This frameshift variant is predicted to alter the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at position 23 and lead to a premature termination codon 17 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Heterozygous loss of function of the BRCA1 gene is an established disease mechanism in individuals with HBOC. Additionally, this variant was classified as Pathogenic on April 22, 2016 by the ClinGen-approved ENIGMA expert panel (ClinVar SCV000282348.1). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for HBOC in an autosomal dominant manner based upon the predicted impact to the protein and presence in multiple affected individuals. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PS4_strong.

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina RCV000034761 SCV000403078 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2016-06-14 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The c.68_69delAG (p.Glu23ValfsTer17) variant, also commonly known as 185delAG, is a frameshift variant that is very well described in the literature as one of the most frequent variants found in breast cancer (Shattuck-Eidens et al. 1995; Offit et al. 1996). It was first identified in a study by Simard et al. (1994) in index cases from four unrelated Canadian families with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). Wang et al. (2012) conducted a meta-analysis of over 29 studies published between 2000 and 2010 and determined the overall frequency of the p.Glu23ValfsTer17 variant in 2128 breast cancer cases to be 0.072. The variant is one of three known common founder germline variants primarily found in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish heritage (Struewing et al. 1997; Abeliovich et al. 1997; Laitman et al. 2013) and has been detected in 20% of Ashkenazi Jewish women diagnosed with breast cancer before age 42 years (Offit et al 1996). In the Ashkenazi Jewish population, the variant is associated with a risk of between 56% and 83% of breast cancer and of between 14% and 58% risk of ovarian cancer by the age of 70 (Struewing et al. 1997; Antoniou et al. 2005; Finkelman et al. 2012). The variant has been observed in individuals of other ethnicities (Wang et al. 2012; Laitman et al. 2013). The variant is reported at a frequency of 0.00042 in the European (Non-Finnish) population of the Exome Aggregation Consortium. Based on the available evidence, the p.Glu23ValfsTer17 variant is classified as pathogenic for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer.

Functional assays showed this variant was deleterious (Bouwman P et al. 2013). The p.Glu23ValfsTer17 variant has an allele frequency of 0.02% in gnomAD Exomes. This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic (multiple submitters). This variant causes a frameshift starting with codon Glutamic Acid 23, changes this amino acid to Valine residue, and creates a premature Stop codon at position 17 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Glu23ValfsTer17. This variant is predicted to cause a loss of normal protein function through protein truncation. Loss of function variants has been previously reported to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
