The Clinical Significance of Unknown Sequence Variants in BRCA Genes
Germline mutations in BRCA1/2 genes are responsible for a large proportion of hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancers. Many highly penetrant predisposition alleles have been identified and include frameshift or nonsense mutations that lead to the translation of a truncated protein. Other alleles contain missense mutations, which result in amino acid substitution and intronic variants with spli...
متن کاملClassification of BRCA1 missense variants of unknown clinical significance.
BACKGROUND BRCA1 is a tumour suppressor with pleiotropic actions. Germline mutations in BRCA1 are responsible for a large proportion of breast-ovarian cancer families. Several missense variants have been identified throughout the gene but because of lack of information about their impact on the function of BRCA1, predictive testing is not always informative. Classification of missense variants ...
متن کاملBRCA Share: A Collection of Clinical BRCA Gene Variants.
As next-generation sequencing increases access to human genetic variation, the challenge of determining clinical significance of variants becomes ever more acute. Germline variants in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes can confer substantial lifetime risk of breast and ovarian cancer. Assessment of variant pathogenicity is a vital part of clinical genetic testing for these genes. A database of clinical ...
متن کاملGenetic and histopathologic evaluation of BRCA1 and BRCA2 DNA sequence variants of unknown clinical significance.
Classification of rare missense variants as neutral or disease causing is a challenge and has important implications for genetic counseling. A multifactorial likelihood model for classification of unclassified variants in BRCA1 and BRCA2 has previously been developed, which uses data on co-occurrence of the unclassified variant with pathogenic mutations in the same gene, cosegregation of the un...
