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]

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.5278-14C>G alters a non-conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. 4/4 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. These predictions have been confirmed by functional studies demonstrating the variant has no splicing effect (Spearman_2008, Whiley_2011, Wappenschmidt_2012, Steffensen_2014). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.2e-05 in 250986 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.5278-14C>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with cancer including breast cancer and pancreatic cancer (van der Hout_2006, Spearman_2008, Axilbund_2009, Lu_2012). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. Co-occurrences with pathogenic variants have been reported (BRCA2 c.5722_5723delCT, p.Leu1908ArgfsX2 [BIC]; BRCA2 unspecified [van der Hout_2006]), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. Experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function through utilization of a cell-survival assay in a population of edited haploid HAP1 cells as a measure of functional HDR pathway, reported the variant to be functional (Findlay_2018). Six ClinVar submitters including an expert panel (ENIGMA) (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as benign/likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign.

The c.5278-14C>G variant was identified in 5 of 8294 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.001) from individuals or families with breast, ovarian and pancreatic cancer (Axilbund 2009, Spearman 2008, van der Hout 2006). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs80358105), NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (Exome Variant Server), Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) database, LOVD, the ClinVar database (classified as a likely benign variant by the Sharing Clinical Reports Project (derived from Myriad reports) and Counsyl; classified as unknown clinical importance by BIC), the BIC database (4X with unknown clinical importance), and UMD (3X as an uncertain significance variant). This variant was identified in the Exome Variant Server project in 3 of 13006 European American/African American alleles, the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) database (released Oct 20th, 2014) in 4 of 76380 chromosomes (4 individuals) from a population of European (Non-Finnish) and African individuals, although this low number of observations is not substantive enough to determine its relationship to disease. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a difference in splicing. Four studies have predicted the variant has no effect on splicing (Spearman 2008, Steffensen 2014, van der Hout 2006, Whiley 2011) and two of them classified it as neutral (Steffensen 2014, van der Hout 2006). 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 benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as predicted benign.
