The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.5528C>A(p.Ala1843Glu) variant causes a missense change. 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 Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. A1843G) has been classified as Uncertain significance.
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]

The p.A1843E variant (also known as c.5528C>A), located in coding exon 22 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 5528. The alanine at codon 1843 is replaced by glutamic acid, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. One functional study found that this nucleotide substitution is non-functional in a high-throughput, genome editing, haploid cell survival assay (Findlay GM et al. Nature, 2018 10;562:217-222). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -

This variant is denoted BRCA1 c.5528C>A at the cDNA level, p.Ala1843Glu (A1843E) at the protein level, and results in the change of an Alanine to a Glutamic Acid (GCA>GAA). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. BRCA1 Ala1843Glu was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Alanine and Glutamic Acid differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution. BRCA1 Ala1843Glu occurs at a position that is conserved through mammals and is located in the second BRCT domain (Roy 2012). In silico analyses predict that this variant is probably damaging to protein structure and function. Based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether BRCA1 Ala1843Glu is pathogenic or benign. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

In summary, this variant is a rare missense change with uncertain impact on protein function. There is no indication that it causes disease, but the available evidence is currently insufficient to prove that conclusively. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a BRCA1-related disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 182082). This sequence change replaces alanine with glutamic acid at codon 1843 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Ala1843Glu). The alanine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between alanine and glutamic acid. -
