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 BRCA1 c.1802A>G (p.His601Arg) variant has been reported in the published literature in a family where three sisters that carried the variant did not have a personal history of cancer, and two sisters that did not carry the variant were affected with breast cancer (PMID: 15726418 (2005)). This variant has also been reported to be located in a region of the BRCA1 gene that tolerant to missense changes (PMID: 31911673 (2020)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00012 (3/24892 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is benign or damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.1802A>G (p.His601Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 251246 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1802A>G has been reported in the literature in 3 unaffected African American sisters and was not present in their 2 affected sisters with Breast Cancer (McKean-Cowdin_2005) and was not observed to segregate with disease. This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Eight submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Multiple submitters reported the variant with VUS (n=5) or likely benign (n=3) assessments. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 601 of the BRCA1 protein (p.His601Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs371631805, gnomAD 0.008%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 15726418). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 188204). 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 80%. 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. -
