The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):āc.2692A>Gā(p.Lys898Glu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,720 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 14/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars).
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 p.K898E variant (also known as c.2692A>G), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 2692. The lysine at codon 898 is replaced by glutamic acid, an amino acid with similar properties. In one study, this variant was detected in 1/134 non-Ashkenazi Jewish Argentinean breast and/or ovarian cancer patients. However, this patient was also found to carry an alteration in the BRCA2 gene that was considered deleterious (Solano AR et al. Springerplus, 2012 Sep;1:20). A functional study suggests this alteration may interfere with the interaction between BRCA1 and the PP1-binding motif which may impair DNA damage repair mechanisms (Chen BY et al. Sci Rep, 2014 Jul;4:5812). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This missense variant replaces lysine with glutamic acid at codon 898 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). This variant has been reported in an individual affected with breast or ovarian cancer who has an unspecified deleterious BRCA2 variant (PMID: 23961350) and in a breast cancer case-control meta-analysis in 0/60466 cases and 1/53461 unaffected individuals (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA1_000636). A multifactorial analysis also has reported likelihood ratios for pathogenicity based on co-occurrence and family history of 1.0331 and 0.1078, respectively (PMID: 31131967). This variant has not been identified 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. -

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. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects BRCA1 function (PMID: 25056273). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt BRCA1 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 54649). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 23961350). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 898 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Lys898Glu). -
