The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.5254G>C(p.Ala1752Pro) 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 pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar 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]

The p.A1752P pathogenic variant (also known as c.5254G>C and 5373G>C), located in coding exon 18 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 5254. The alanine at codon 1752 is replaced by proline, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration has been reported in multiple women with early-onset breast cancer as well as family histories of breast cancer, including multiple reports in Chinese cohorts (Gao X et al. Hum Mutat, 2020 03;41:696-708; Bhaskaran SP et al. Int J Cancer, 2019 08;145:962-973; Li WF et al. Breast Cancer Res Treat, 2008 Jul;110:99-109; Essioux L et al. Am. J. Med. Genet. 1998 Sep;79:175-83; Bergthorsson JT et al. J. Med. Genet. 2001 Jun;38:361-8). Multiple assays find this variant is non-functional (Findlay GM et al. Nature, 2018 10;562:217-222; Lee MS et al. Cancer Res. 2010 Jun;70:4880-90; Phelan CM et al. J. Med. Genet., 2005 Feb;42:138-46). Based on literature and internal structural assessments, this alteration is structurally detrimental by breaking an alpha helix in BRCT domains (Ambry internal data; Karchin R et al. PLoS Comput Biol, 2007 Feb;3:e26; Clapperton JA et al. Nat. Struct. Mol. Biol., 2004 Jun;11:512-8). In addition, this alteration segregated with disease and was associated with family and tumor features that characterize a pathogenic mutation in BRCA1 (Caputo SM et al. Am J Hum Genet, 2021 10;108:1907-1923). 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. -

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1752 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Ala1752Pro). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 9788557, 11389159, 17851763, 30702160, 31825140). This variant is also known as 5373C>G. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 55483). 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: 14534301, 15172985, 15689452, 17305420, 20516115, 30209399). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
