Abstract
Grading the pathogenicity of BRCA1/2 variants has great clinical importance in patient treatment as well as in the prevention and screening of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). For accurate evaluation, confirming the splicing effect of a possible splice site variant is crucial. We report a significant splicing variant (c.5074+3A>C) in BRCA1 in a patient with recurrent ovarian cancer. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) of BRCA1/2 from patient's peripheral blood identified the variant, which was strongly suspected of being a splicing mutation based on in silico predictions. Direct RNA analysis yielded multiple transcripts, and TOPO cloning of the complementary DNA (cDNA) and Sanger sequencing revealed an aberrant transcript with an insertion of the first 153 bp of intron 17, and another transcript with the 153 bp insertion along with an exon 18 deletion. A premature termination codon was presumed to be formed by the 153 bp partial intron retention common to the two transcripts. Therefore, BRCA1 c.5074+3A>C was classified as a likely pathogenic variant. Our findings show that active use of functional studies of variants suspected of altered splicing are of great help in classifying them.
