The ENST00000357654.9(BRCA1):c.5327C>T(p.Pro1776Leu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000031 in 1,613,824 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. P1776A) has been classified as Uncertain significance.
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]

Each variant was annotated with functional scores from MAVE data which was translated into functional evidence codes. All other evidence codes and combining criteria were adhered to as closely as possible based on the ClinGen VCEP (Variant Curation Expert Panel) gene-specific recommendations. See Supplemental Figure 34 of final paper (Supp Fig. 28 in preprint: doi:10.1101/2024.04.11.24305690) for a table to see which lines of evidence we did not have data for. The ClinGen VCEPs are highly regarded as the gold-standard for gene-specific variant curation and are developed after extensive evaluation of the evidence by clinical and scientific experts for the particular gene to classify genomic variants on a spectrum from pathogenic to benign using the 2015 ACMG/AMP Variant Interpretation Guidelines as a backbone (PMID: 25741868). Reclassification of these VUS variants from gnomAD or All of Us focused only on variants originally prescribed as VUS in ClinVar. To ensure reproducibility, transparency, and increased throughput, all the procedures for annotating variants and assigning evidence codes were codified using Python. All code has been made freely available and is linked in the Code Availability section and all reclassified variants with evidence codes used can be found in Tables S18-19 (preprint: doi:10.1101/2024.04.11.24305690). For the MAVE data, the clinical curation and clinical strength assignment as per the ClinGen recommendations in Brnich et al. (2020) (PMID: 31892348) for or against pathogenicity or benignity of each of these MAVE datasets utilized in this study were previously published in Fayer et al. (2021) (PMID: 34793697).In brief, for BRCA1 variants, if a variant was categorized as FUNC (functional), it was assigned BS3 evidence and no PS3 evidence, whereas if it was categorized as LOF (loss of function), the variant was assigned PS3 evidence and no BS3 evidence. Variants categorized as INT (intermediate) were left unannotated. For the BRCA1 combining criteria, greater than or equal to 1 criteria of strong benign evidence was enough to reclassify the VUS as Likely Benign. This variant GRCh38:17:43051068:G>A was assigned evidence codes ['BS3'] and an overall classification of Likely benign -

This variant is denoted BRCA1 c.5327C>T at the cDNA level, p.Pro1776Leu (P1776L) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Proline to a Leucine (CCC>CTC). Using alternate nomenclature this variant would be defined as BRCA1 5446C>T. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. BRCA1 Pro1776Leu was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, suggesting it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Proline and Leucine differ in some properties, this is considered a semi-conservative amino acid substitution. BRCA1 Pro1776Leu occurs at a position that is not conserved and is located in the second BRCT domain and a region known to interact with multiple other proteins (Paul 2014, UniProt). In silico analyses predict that this variant is probably damaging to protein structure and function. Based on currently available information, it is unclear whether BRCA1 Pro1776Leu is pathogenic or benign. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

The BRCA1 c.5327C>T; p.Pro1776Leu variant (rs398122695), also known as 5446C>T, is reported in the literature in at least one individual affected with breast cancer, but without clear association with disease (Momozawa 2018). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 91647), and is only observed on one allele in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The proline at codon 1776 is moderately conserved, and computational analyses (SIFT: damaging, PolyPhen-2: benign) predict conflicting effects of this variant on protein structure/function. Due to limited information, the clinical significance of the p.Pro1776Leu variant is uncertain at this time. References: Momozawa Y et al. Germline pathogenic variants of 11 breast cancer genes in 7,051 Japanese patients and 11,241 controls. Nat Commun. 2018;9(1):4083. -

This missense variant replaces proline with leucine at codon 1776 of the BRCA1 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). A function study reported that this variant does not impact BRCA1 function and has no significant impact on RNA abundance in a haploid human cell proliferation assay (PMID: 30209399). This variant has been reported in a breast cancer case-control study in 1/7051 female breast cancer cases and absent in 11241 unaffected individuals (PMID: 30287823). This variant also has been reported in a pancreatic cancer and a prostate cancer case-control study in which it was reported to be absent in cancer cases and found in three unaffected individuals (PMID: 31214711, 32980694). This variant has been identified in 1/251374 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.5327C>T (p.Pro1776Leu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the BRCT domain (IPR001357) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251374 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.5327C>T has been reported as a VUS in the literature in at-least one Japanese woman affected with Breast Cancer but not in 11,241 Japanese female controls, and was also found in in 3/12,490 Japanese male controls (Momozawa_2018). This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. At least two publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. These results showed no damaging effect of this variant on HDR capacity and in a transcriptional assay (Findlay_2018, Fernandes_2019). These results showed no damaging effect of this variant. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 30209399, 30287823, 30765603). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 91647). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

The BRCA1 c.5327C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Pro1776Leu. This variant has been reported in individuals with breast or biliary tract cancer (also known as c.5390C>T, p.Pro1797Leu in Supplementary Table 2 in Okawa et al. 2023. PubMed ID: 36243179; Momozawa et al 2018. PubMed ID: 30287823). Functional studies revealed that this variant does not affect BRCA1 function (chr17:41203085 in Supplementary Table 2 in Findlay et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 30209399; Fernandes VC et al 2019. PubMed ID: 30765603). This variant is reported in 0.0062% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD and has conflicting interpretations in ClinVar ranging from uncertain to likely benign (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/91647/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1776 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Pro1776Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs398122695, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 30287823). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 91647). Advanced modeling performed at Invitae incorporating data from internal and/or published experimental studies (PMID: 30209399) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt BRCA1 function with a negative predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect BRCA1 function (PMID: 30209399, 30765603). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
