Genes affected

BRCA1 (HGNC:1100): (BRCA1 DNA repair associated) This gene encodes a 190 kD nuclear phosphoprotein that plays a role in maintaining genomic stability, and it also acts as a tumor suppressor. The BRCA1 gene contains 22 exons spanning about 110 kb of DNA. The encoded protein combines with other tumor suppressors, DNA damage sensors, and signal transducers to form a large multi-subunit protein complex known as the BRCA1-associated genome surveillance complex (BASC). This gene product associates with RNA polymerase II, and through the C-terminal domain, also interacts with histone deacetylase complexes. This protein thus plays a role in transcription, DNA repair of double-stranded breaks, and recombination. Mutations in this gene are responsible for approximately 40% of inherited breast cancers and more than 80% of inherited breast and ovarian cancers. Alternative splicing plays a role in modulating the subcellular localization and physiological function of this gene. Many alternatively spliced transcript variants, some of which are disease-associated mutations, have been described for this gene, but the full-length natures of only some of these variants has been described. A related pseudogene, which is also located on chromosome 17, has been identified. [provided by RefSeq, May 2020]

This alteration is classified as benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.

The BRCA1 c.5468-10C>A variant was identified in 3 of 4550 proband chromosomes from individuals or families with breast or ovarian cancer (frequency: 0.001); however control chromosomes were not included in these studies (Borg 2010, Tommasi 2008, Uhrhammer 2008).The variant is located in the 3' splice region but does not affect the invariant -1 and -2 positions. However, positions -3 and -5 to -12 are part of the splicing consensus sequence and variants involving these positions sometimes affect splicing. One functional study did not find any effect of the variant on splicing (Houdayer 2012), and in-silico or computational prediction software (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) predicts a greater than 10% difference in splicing in only 2 of 5 different programs, though this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant was also identified in HGMD, LOVD, and the BIC database (15X with unknown clinical importance), and UMD (31X as a neutral variant). In UMD the variant was identified in four samples as co-occurring a pathogenic variant (two in BRCA1 and two in BRCA2), increasing the likelihood that the variant does not have clinical importance. The variant was listed in dbSNP (ID: rs8176316) with a minor allele frequency of 0.004 (1000 Genomes Project) and an average heterozygosity of 0.007+/-0.060. Furthermore, this variant occurs at a frequency of greater than 1% in some populations of origin and is therefore classified as a polymorphism (African American alleles in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (Exome Variant Server) (frequency: 0.014), HapMap-YRI (frequency: 0.018), HAPMAP-LWK (frequency: 0.017), and HAPMAP-ASW (frequency: 0.01)). In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratory's criteria to be classified as benign.
