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]

Significance:Likely pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.A1708G variant (also known as c.5123C>G), located in coding exon 16 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 5123. The alanine at codon 1708 is replaced by glycine, an amino acid with similar properties. One functional study found that this nucleotide substitution is non-functional in a high throughput genome editing haploid cell survival assay (Findlay GM et al. Nature, 2018 Oct;562:217-222). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration may weaken the native splice donor site; however, direct evidence is insufficient at this time (Ambry internal data). In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. 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 glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1708 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Ala1708Gly). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 29470806). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 867673). Invitae Evidence Modeling incorporating data from in vitro 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: 30209399). Studies have shown that this missense change is associated with inconclusive levels of altered splicing (internal data). 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. -
