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]

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces aspartic acid with glycine at codon 295 of the BRCA1 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on 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, an individual affected with ovarian cancer and one individual unaffected with cancer (PMID: 21156238, 26541979, 34218100), and this variant also has been detected in a breast cancer case-control meta-analysis in 0/60466 cases and 4/53461 unaffected individuals (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA1_005730). This variant has been identified in 20/251246 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.

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 295 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Asp295Gly). This variant is present in population databases (rs772684048, gnomAD 0.06%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with a personal and/or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 21156238, 31954625, 34218100). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 233188). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt BRCA1 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.884A>G (p.Asp295Gly) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-05 in 251246 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00065 within the South Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database. This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in BRCA1 causing Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (8e-05 vs 0.001), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.884A>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Manguoglu_2010, Hasmad_2016), but also in a healthy control subject (Manguoglu_2010). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar (evaluation after 2014) and cited the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance.

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The BRCA1 c.884A>G variant was not identified in the literature. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs772684048) as “With Uncertain Significance allele”, Clinvitae database (as uncertain significance), and the ClinVar database (as uncertain significance, by Ambry Genetics). The variant was not found in the Fanconi Anemia Mutation Database (LOVD), LOVD-IARC database, ARUP Laboratories BRCA Mutations Database, COSMIC, GeneInsight COGR database, the BIC database, and UMD. This variant was identified in the Exome Aggregation Consortium database (August 8th, 2016) in 8 of 121358 chromosomes (freq. 6.59X10-5) in the following populations: South Asian in 8 of 16504 chromosomes (freq. 0.00048), but was not seen in African, East Asian, Finnish, European (Non-Finnish), and Latino populations, although this low number of observations and low frequency is not substantive enough to determine the prevalence of the variant in the general population and its relationship to disease. The p.Asp295 residue is not conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein; this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance.
