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]

The BRCA1 p.Lys993= variant was identified in 1 of 14,102 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.00007) from individuals with breast cancer and was not identified in 22,482 control chromosomes from healthy individuals (Momozawa 2018). The variant was identified in dbSNP (rs772854836) as “with likely benign allele”, ClinVar (classified as likely benign by Ambry Genetics, Color, GeneDx and 2 other submitters), LOVD 3.0 (observed 4x) and UMD-LSDB (observed 1x). The variant was identified in control databases in 9 of 250,458 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00004 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: South Asian in 8 of 30,606 chromosomes (freq: 0.0003) and Other in 1 of 6086 chromosomes (freq: 0.0002); it was not observed in the African, Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, Finnish or European populations. The p.Lys993= variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it does not result in a change of amino acid and it occurs at a non-conserved nucleotide outside of the splicing consensus sequence. In addition, in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign. -
