Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points: 4P and 2B. PM1PM2BP4BP6
The ENST00000357654.9(BRCA1):c.5269G>A(p.Asp1757Asn) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 12/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. 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. D1757A) 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]

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.5269G>A (p.Asp1757Asn) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the BRCT domain of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251492 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.5269G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (Cecener_2014). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. A functional study, Fernandes_2019, found the variant to act comparable to wild type in transcription activity. A ClinVar submission from a clinical diagnostic laboratory (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant as uncertian significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign. -

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. This variant has been reported not to substantially affect BRCA1 protein function (PMID: 30209399). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 24884828). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 531222). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces aspartic acid with asparagine at codon 1757 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Asp1757Asn). The aspartic acid residue is moderately conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between aspartic acid and asparagine. -

This alteration is classified as likely 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. -
