The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.190T>G (p.Cys64Gly) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a cumulative frequency of 0.00000187 (AC=3) in the gnomAD database across 1,602,342 control chromosomes (no homozygotes observed). The grpmax filtering allele frequency (95% CI) is 0.0000301. In-silico predictor (REVEL) classifies this variant as likely damaging/oncogenic. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV004823687: Functional studies have reported that the variant impacts BRCA1 function in homology-directed repair, ubiquitin ligase, haploid cell proliferation and BARD1 binding assays and rescue of DNA damage sensitivity in BRCA1-deficient cells (PMID:8944023, 10635334, 11320250, 16403807, 20103620, 23867111, 25823446, 30209399)." and additional evidence is available in ClinVar. A different missense at the same amino acid position has been reported as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic in ClinVar: p.C64R: Pathogenic (ClinVar VariationId 54394, 2 stars) Other variants at the same amino acid position have been reported in ClinVar (not pathogenic): p.C64= (synonymous): unknown significance (ClinVar VariationId 867931); p.C64F: unknown significance (ClinVar VariationId 867930) This exact variant is established as oncogenic in: CGI (Cancer Genome Interpreter).

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]
