The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.5254G>A(p.Ala1752Thr) 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 Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. A1752S) 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]

This missense variant replaces alanine with threonine at codon 1752 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). Functional studies have reported that this variant impacts BRCA1 function in transcription activation, homology-directed DNA repair and a haploid cell proliferation assays (PMID: 24845084, 30209399, 30257991). This variant has been reported in an individual affected with ovarian cancer who underwent testing for the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes (PMID: 33078592, 34063308). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Although there is a suspicion that this variant may be associated with disease, additional clinical studies are necessary to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

The p.A1752T variant (also known as c.5254G>A), located in coding exon 18 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 5254. The alanine at codon 1752 is replaced by threonine, an amino acid with similar properties. Multiple functional studies have show this alteration to be non-functional (Carvalho RS et al. PLoS One, 2014 May;9:e97766; Findlay GM et al. Nature, 2018 10;562:217-222; Fernandes VC et al. J Biol Chem, 2019 04;294:5980-5992; Petitalot A et al. Mol Cancer Res, 2019 01;17:54-69). This alteration has been identified in individuals diagnosed with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Ha HI et al. J Gynecol Oncol, 2020 Nov;31:e83; Park KS et al. Cancers (Basel), 2021 May;13). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on internal structural analysis, this variant is anticipated to result in a decrease in structural stability (Ambry internal data). This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1752 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Ala1752Thr). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with ovarian cancer (PMID: 33078592). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 96944). 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: 24845084, 28781887, 30209399, 30257991). 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. -
