This pathogenic variant is denoted BRCA1 c.3403C>T at the cDNA level and p.Gln1135Ter (Q1135X) at the protein level. Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA1 3522C>T. The substitution creates a nonsense variant, which changes a Glutamine to a premature stop codon (CAG>TAG), and is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This variant has been reported in association with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (Judkins 2005, Caux-Moncoutier 2011, Gutierrez Espeleta 2012, Kanchi 2014, Maxwell 2017). We consider it to be pathogenic.
