Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 22 ACMG points: 22P and 0B. PS3 PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):​c.131G>A​(p.Cys44Tyr) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000209888: Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect: reduced cellular proliferation, nuclear localization, and E3 ubiquitin ligase activity, as well as an inability to form a functional heterodimer with BARD1 (Brzovic et al., 2003" and additional evidence is available in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. C44G) has been classified as Uncertain significance. The gene BRCA1 is included in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry.

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]

ACMG classification

Specifications for BRCA1 are available in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry and recommended for reference when assigning criteria.

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 22 ACMG points.

• PS3: PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV000209888: Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect: reduced cellular proliferation, nuclear localization, and E3 ubiquitin ligase activity, as well as an inability to form a functional heterodimer with BARD1 (Brzovic et al., 2003; Morris et al., 2006; Millot et al., 2011; Starita et al., 2015); in addition, colony size, spot formation, and yeast localization assays of this variant also demonstrated a pathogenic effect (Thouvenot et al., 2016);; SCV001133482: Assessment of experimental evidence suggests this variant results in abnormal protein function (PMID: 21922593 (2011), 25823446 (2015), 27272900 (2016), 30209399 (2018)).; SCV000607781: This alteration was shown to disrupt the function of the protein in multiple functional studies using different assays (Millot GA et al.
