PM2 supporting: the variant is absent from the preferred non-cancer gnomAD exome and genome datasets. BP1 strong: residue 976 lies outside ENIGMA BRCA1 functional domains and SpliceAI maximum delta is 0.004.
BRCA1 encodes a large nuclear protein that helps maintain genomic stability by coordinating the repair of DNA double-strand breaks through homologous recombination, and it also regulates transcription and the cell cycle. It acts as a tumor suppressor, working with proteins such as RAD51, BRCA2, BARD1, and PALB2 to preserve genome integrity. Inherited alterations in BRCA1 cause hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome, with elevated risks of breast, ovarian, prostate, and pancreatic cancers, and biallelic loss underlies a rare form of Fanconi anemia. Because BRCA1-driven tumors rely on impaired DNA repair, they are treatable with PARP inhibitors.
BRCA1 encodes a tumor-suppressor protein that preserves genomic stability through homologous-recombination DNA repair and is central to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer predisposition.
