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]

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.N1592K variant (also known as c.4776C>G), located in coding exon 14 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 4776. The asparagine at codon 1592 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This missense variant replaces asparagine with lysine at codon 1592 of the BRCA1 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). A functional study has reported that this variant does not impact BRCA1 function in a mouse Brca1-deficient embryonic cell-based assays for homology-directed DNA repair and sensitivity to cisplatin and PARP inhibitor (PMID: 32546644). This variant has been detected in a breast cancer case-control meta-analysis in 0/60466 cases and 2/53461 unaffected individuals (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA1_001232). A different nucleotide change resulting in the same protein missense mutation has been reported in an individual affected with breast cancer (PMID: 23289006). This variant has been identified in 3/251386 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Review Status:no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method:clinical testing

The BRCA1 p.Asn1592Lys variant was identified in 1 of 242 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.004) from individuals with breast cancer (Laraqui 2013); however, control chromosomes were not evaluated in this study. The variant was identified in three individuals in the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) database with allele counts of 1/67676 European (Non-Finnish), 1/11608 Latino, and 1/16628 South Asian alleles; however, this low number of observations and low frequency is not substantive enough to determine the prevalence of the variant in the general population and its relationship to disease. The variant was not identified in any other databases searched, including: dbSNP, NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (Exome Variant Server), HGMD, LOVD, COSMIC, ClinVar, GeneInsight VariantWire, BIC or UMD. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 2 of 5 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; however, this is not very predictive of pathogenicity. The p.Asn1592 residue is not conserved in mammals and lower organisms, and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact of the variant amino acid 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. -

Significance:Likely benign

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.4776C>G (p.Asn1592Lys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 251386 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.4776C>G has been observed in an individual(s) affected with breast cancer (e.g, Azim_2023). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function (Bouwman_2020). These results showed no damaging effect of this variant on ability to complement BRCA1-deficient mouse embryonic stem cells in homologous recombination DNA repair (HRR) using cisplatin and olaparib sensitivity assays and a direct GFP HRR assay. HDR assays qualify as a recognized gold standard on the basis of updated guidance provided by the ClinGen Sequence Variant Interpretation (SVI) working group. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 23289006, 23697973, 32546644, 31570899, 34296289, 37731153). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 183931). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
