Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points: 14P and 0B. PM1PM2PP3_ModeratePP5_Very_Strong
The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.5072C>A(p.Thr1691Lys) variant causes a missense, splice region change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 2/3 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. T1691T) has been classified as Pathogenic.

This missense variant replaces threonine with lysine at codon 1691 of the BRCA1 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). Functional studies have reported that this variant impacts BRCA1 function in transcription activation, haploid cell proliferation, yeast growth inhibition, protease sensitivity, peptide binding and subcellular localization assays (PMID: 20516115, 22277901, 27802165, 28781887, 28961279, 30209399). This variant has been reported in at least six individuals affected with breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 22277901, 26221963, 26757417, 28188963, 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA1_000510; Color internal data). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -
The p.T1691K variant (also known as c.5072C>A), located in coding exon 15 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 5072. The threonine at codon 1691 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been reported in multiple individuals with personal and/or family history consistent with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) syndrome (Kuo WH et al. J. Hum. Genet., 2012 Feb;57:130-8; Wong ES et al. PLoS ONE, 2015 Jul;10:e0134408; Ng PS et al. Clin. Genet., 2016 Oct;90:315-23). Functional data show that this alteration is defective in many assays including two transcription activation assays, a protein binding assay, a binding specificity assay and a homology-directed repair assay (Lee MS et al. Cancer Res., 2010 Jun;70:4880-90; Kuo WH et al. J. Hum. Genet., 2012 Feb;57:130-8; Woods NT et al. NPJ Genom Med, 2016 Mar;1; Ambry internal data). Based on published literature and internal structural analysis, this variant is anticipated to result in a significant decrease in structural stability (Ambry internal data; Williams RS et al. Nat. Struct. Biol., 2001 Oct;8:838-42; Thouvenot P et al. J. Cell. Sci., 2016 12;129:4366-4378). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
not provided Pathogenic:1
This variant is denoted BRCA1 c.5072C>A at the cDNA level, p.Thr1691Lys (T1691K) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Threonine to a Lysine (ACA>AAA). Using alternate nomenclature, this variant has been previously published as BRCA1 5191C>A. This variant was observed in several women with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Lin 2011, Kuo 2012, Wong 2015, Ng 2016, Chirasophon 2017). In addition, multiple functional studies have demonstrated this variant to have a severe impact on transactivation, protease sensitivity, binding activity and sensitivity, nuclear spot formation, decreased nuclear localization and absence of growth inhibition (Lee 2010, Kuo 2012, Thouvenot 2016, Woods 2016). BRCA1 Thr1691Lys was not observed in large population cohorts (Lek 2016). This variant is located in the BRCT1 domain and within a region known to interact with multiple other proteins (Paul 2014, UniProt). In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect. Based on currently available evidence, we consider BRCA1 Thr1691Lys to be a likely pathogenic variant. -

Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Pathogenic:1
This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1691 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Thr1691Lys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with a personal and/or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 22277901, 26757417, 29263802, 29752822, 32072338, 32091409). This variant is also known as 5191C>A. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37627). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects BRCA1 function (PMID: 20516115, 22277901, 28781887, 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. -
