The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.5309G>T(p.Gly1770Val) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000137 in 1,461,830 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. G1770W) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.
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 sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1770 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Gly1770Val). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with personal and/or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 23613828, 26864382, 29339979). It is commonly reported in individuals of Moroccan ancestry (PMID: 26864382). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 417832). Advanced modeling performed at Invitae incorporating data from internal and/or published experimental studies (PMID: 30209399) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt BRCA1 function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects BRCA1 function (PMID: 23613828, 23867111, 30209399, 30458859). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The BRCA1 p.Gly1770Val variant was identified in the literature and in HGMD and UMD (9X as an unclassified variant), and was not reported in the 1000 Genomes and Exome Variant Server databases. Although the p.Gly1770 residue is not conserved in mammals, four out of five computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) suggest that the p.Gly1770Val variant may impact the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to assume pathogenicity. Functional studies by Bouwman (2013) suggest the variant protein levels are associated with structural instability and classifies the variant as deleterious. Furthermore, the amino acid position is located within the C-terminal region of BRCA1 and dramatically compromises the transcriptional activity of BRCA1. Quiles et al (2013) suggests that this variant has significant functional impact and may be pathogenic. In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more pathogenic role for this variant. This variant is classified as predicted pathogenic. -
The p.G1770V pathogenic mutation (also known as c.5309G>T), located in coding exon 19 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 5309. The glycine at codon 1770 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration has been reported in multiple individuals with personal and/or family history consistent with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) syndrome (Heramb C et al. Hered Cancer Clin Pract. 2018 Jan;16:3; Bernstein-Molho R et al. Breast Cancer Res Treat. 2019 Nov;178:231-237) and has been described as a Moroccan founder mutation based on haplotype analysis (Quiles F et al. Clin. Genet. 2016 Oct;90:361-5). Functional studies have shown this alteration results in dramatically compromised transcriptional activity (Quiles F et al. PLoS ONE. 2013 Apr;8:e61302) as well as protein levels consistent with a deleterious mutation based on a cisplatin sensitivity assay (Bouwman P et al. Cancer Discov. 2013 Oct;3:1142-55). One functional study found that this nucleotide substitution is deleterious in a high throughput genome editing haploid cell survival assay (Findlay GM et al. Nature. 2018 10;562(7726):217-222). Co-segregation analysis determined this alteration has a likelihood ratio of 101:1 in favor of pathogenicity (Tudini E. et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2018 Nov;172(2):497-503). A structural analysis study suggests that this alteration results in significant alteration of BRCT structure compromising binding (Quiles F et al. PLoS ONE. 2013 Apr;8:e61302). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
