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]

This missense variant replaces serine with tyrosine at codon 1577 of the BRCA1 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). A functional study has reported that this variant does not impact BRCA1 function in a transcription activation assay (PMID: 30765603). This variant has been reported in at least two individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 21156238, 27163896, 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA1_001236; doi/10.1515/tjb-2019-0424). This variant has been identified in 1/251298 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.

Significance:Uncertain significance

Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: The BRCA1 c.4730C>A (p.Ser1577Tyr) variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. 2/4 in silico tools predict a benign outcome (SNPs&GO not captured due to low reliability index). This variant was found in 1/121234 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000082, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic BRCA1 variant (0.0010005). The variant was identified in at least 2 HBOC cases without strong evidence for causality. In addition, the variant is classified by published reports and reputable database as a VUS. Due to limited clinical information and lack of functional or co-segregation studies, the variant was classified as a variant of uncertain significance (VUS) until additional information becomes available.

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1577 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Ser1577Tyr). This variant is present in population databases (rs273901741, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 21156238, 27163896, 32772980, 33067490). This variant is also known as 4849C>A and c.4793C>A. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 125729). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt BRCA1 protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect BRCA1 function (PMID: 30765603). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The missense variant NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.4730C>A (p.Ser1577Tyr) has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant, to our knowledge. There is a large physicochemical difference between serine and tyrosine, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. The gene BRCA1 has a low rate of benign missense variation as indicated by a high missense variants Z-Score of 2.32. The nucleotide c.4730 in BRCA1 is not conserved according to a GERP++ and PhyloP analysis of 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Uncertain Significance.

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 missense variant replaces serine with tyrosine at codon 1577 of the BRCA1 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function. Functional studies have reported that this variant does not impact BRCA1 function in transcription activation and cisplatin and PARP inhibitor sensitivity assays (PMID: 30765603, 32546644). This variant has been reported in at least three individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 21156238, 27163896, 32772980, 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA1_001236; doi: 10.1515/tjb-2019-0424). This variant has been identified in 1/251298 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.
