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]

Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMar 28, 2021Variant summary: BRCA1 c.4955T>C (p.Met1652Thr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the BRCT domain of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. Several computational studies predicted a neutral outcome for the variant (Pruss 2014, Carvalho 2014, Woods 2016), though one study predicted the variant to be deleterious (Karchin 2007). A study based on comparative evolutionary methods predicted a deleterious outcome for this variant (p.Met1652Thr) and another variant affecting this amino acid position (p.Met1652Ile) (Pavlicek 2004), however p.Met1652Ile (c.4956G>A) was classified as benign by our laboratory, indicating that missense changes might tolerated at this position. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2e-05 in 250978 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.4955T>C has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer (example, Huusko 1998, Meindl 2002, Solano 2013). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. At-least one co-occurrence with another pathogenic variant has been observed at our laboratory (BRCA2 c.1813dupA, p.I605fs*11), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. Several publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. In an in vitro functional study the variant was reported to have no functional effect on transcriptional activation, phosphopeptide binding and limited proteolysis (that was used to assess the protein folding stability) (Lee 2010), however another study assessing proliferation rate of yeast cell transformants indicated a possible functional defect (Coyne 2004), though this later assay does not provide a direct evidence on protein function. Indeed, a later in vitro study found that this variant (Met1652Thr) cannot be correctly classified by these type of yeast assays (Thouvenot 2016). More recently this variant was not found to have any impact on homology directed repair (HDR) in a high throughput assay utilizing saturation genome editing (example, Findlay_2018). Multifactorial probability models, performing systematic assessments of variants of unknown significance in the BRCA genes, which included analysis of co-occurrence in trans with known deleterious mutations, personal and family history of cancer, and co-segregation with disease in pedigrees predicted this variant to be neutral (Easton 2007 and Lindor 2012). Multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories and one expert panel (ENIGMA) have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All submitters classified the variant as benign (n=2, including expert panel)/likely benign (n=4). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -
