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]

Breast-ovarian cancer, familial, susceptibility to, 1 Uncertain:3Benign:3
Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System-The BRCA1 p.Lys1606Glu variant was identified in at least 9 of 111320 proband chromosomes from individuals with breast cancer or who were referred for BRCA1 screening (Fitzgerald 1996, Judkins 2005); however, control chromosomes were not evaluated in these studies, thus the prevalence of this variant in the general population could not be determined. This variant was previously identified by our lab in an individual with breast cancer, and was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs80356943) “With untested allele”, HGMD, UMD (1X as an unknown variant), and the BIC database (8X with unknown clinical importance). This residue is not conserved in mammals or lower organisms and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein. However, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpFeb 09, 2024Variant summary: BRCA1 c.4816A>G (p.Lys1606Glu) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.1e-05 in 1613986 control chromosomes (gnomAD v4.0.0). This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in BRCA1 causing Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (3.1e-05 vs 0.001), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.4816A>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (Fitzgerald_1996, Judkins_2005, Simard_2007). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. Two independent publications spanning a decade report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, both of which demonstrate no functional impact of this variant on measures of yeast small colony phenotype assay (Coyne 2004) and a transcriptional activation assay coupled to a Bayesian hierarchical model that estimated the likelihood of pathogenicity (Woods, 2016). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 15004537, 8531968, 16267036, 26206375, 15385441, 16905680, 28781887). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37612). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
