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]

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.5153-6C>A alters a conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Three predict the variant weakens a 3' acceptor site. One predict the variant no significant impact on splicing. Two experimental studies showed no impact on splicing (Wappenschmidt_2012, Houdayer_2012). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2e-05 in 250770 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.5153-6C>A in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome has been reported. At least one functional study reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function and showed no damaging effect of this variant on homology directed repair (HDR) activity (e.g. Findlay_2018). HDR assays qualify as a recognized gold standard on the basis of updated guidance provided by the ClinGen Sequence Variant Interpretation (SVI) working group. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: (30209399, 22505045, 16267036, 23239986). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 96941). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
