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]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 1 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 8 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 25 benign, 72 uncertain in NM_007294.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.1268673).
• BP6: Variant 17-43070973-G-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr17-43070973-G-T is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 55325.

Ambry Genetics

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.

This variant is denoted BRCA1 c.4941C>A at the cDNA level, p.Asn1647Lys (N1647K) at the protein level, and results in the change of an Asparagine to a Lysine (AAC>AAA). This variant was found in one study to have no protein folding defect, normal peptide binding activity and specificity, and normal trascriptional activity (Lee 2010). BRCA1 Asn1647Lys was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. This variant is a semi-conservative substitution in which a neutral polar amino acid is replaced with a positive polar one, altering a position that is only moderately conserved throughout evolution and is located in BRCT1 domain (UniProt). In silico analyses predict this variant to have a benign effect on protein structure and function. Based on the currently available information, we consider BRCA1 Asn1647Lys to be a variant of uncertain significance.

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.4941C>A (p.Asn1647Lys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the BRCT domain superfamily of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251200 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. Three independent functional studies have reported no damaging effect of this variant including normal transcriptional activity (Lee_2010, Wood_2016), and functional HDR activity (Findlay_2018). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 20516115, 30209399, 28781887). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 55325). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign.
