Description
This sequence change deletes 8 nucleotides from exon 23 of the BRCA1 mRNA (c.5470_5477delATTGGGCA), causing a frameshift at codon 1824. This creates a premature translational stop signal in the last exon of the BRCA1 mRNA (p.Ile1824Aspfs*3). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 40 amino acids of the BRCA1 protein. Loss-of-function variants in BRCA1 are known to be pathogenic. This particular variant has been reported in the literature in several individuals affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 25366075, 15117986, 25863477, 26824983, 16455195, 26848529, 26852015, 27257965). This variant is also known as 5589del8 in the literature. A different truncation downstream of this variant (p.Arg1835*) has been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 8554067, 24504028, 16683254). This suggests that deletion of this region of the BRCA1 protein is causative of disease. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
