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]

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJan 16, 2023Variant summary: BRCA1 c.1561G>A (p.Ala521Thr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence, altering a non-conserved amino acid (HGMD). Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function, a finding consistent with other in-silico studies reporting a neutral outcome (example, Martelotto_2014, Pavlicek_2004). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.8e-05 in 250464 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00068 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database. This frequency is not higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in BRCA1 causing Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (4.8e-05 vs 0.001), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. The variant was also found in several women of African ancestry over the age of 70 years who have never had cancer (FLOSSIES database), suggesting a benign role. c.1561G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Breast and/or Ovarian Cancer (Olopade_2003, Russo_2007, George_2021). These reports 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. Eight (other) submitters have provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014, and classified the variant as uncertain significance (n=4) and likely benign (n=4). Based on the absence of concrete evidence supporting an actionable outcome spanning over 7 years of testing and literature review as outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
