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]

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces glutamic acid with glycine at codon 575 of the BRCA1 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in at least two individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 34196900, 34218100) and in one individual age 70 years or older without cancer by FLOSSIES (https://whi.color.com/variant/17-41245824-T-C). This variant has been identified in 5/250754 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
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.E575G variant (also known as c.1724A>G), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 1724. The glutamic acid at codon 575 is replaced by glycine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant was identified in an individual diagnosed with breast cancer (Makhetha M et al. S Afr Med J, 2024 May;114:e1094). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

The BRCA1 c.1724A>G (p.Glu575Gly) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMIDs: 35957908 (2022), 35464868 (2022) 34196900 (2021), 34218100 (2021)). Additionally, this variant has been reported to be located in a region of the BRCA1 gene that is tolerant to missense sequence changes (PMID: 31911673 (2020)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00025 (4/16242 chromosomes in African/African American subpopulation (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is higher than would generally be expected for pathogenic variants in this gene. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.1724A>G (p.Glu575Gly) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.1e-05 in 1613682 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00033 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD v4.0.0 database. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in BRCA1 causing Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (0.00033 vs 0.001). However, the variant was also reported from the southern part of Africa with an even higher allele frequency, i.e. 0.029 (6/208 alleles), including 1 homozygote (in the GenomeAsia 100K database). In addition, it was found in 1/ 2559 African American women, who were older than age 70, and have never had cancer (in the FLOSSIES database). These data suggest that the variant could be a benign polymorphism. The variant, c.1724A>G, has been reported in the literature in individuals with a personal of family history of Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (e.g., Combrink_2021, Ren_2021, Hovland_2022, Gifoni_2022), however without strong evidence for causality (e.g., lack of co-segregation data). It has also been reported in the BRCA Share database (formerly UMD-BRCA1) in one proband (without co-occurrence with other deleterious variants in BRCA1/2). These reports therefore do 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. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 34218100, 35957908, 21702907, 34981296, 25348012, 34196900). Seven other clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014, and classified the variant as VUS (n=4) or benign/likely benign (n=3). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
