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]

In the published literature, this variant has been reported in individuals with breast cancer (PMID: 15365993 (2004), 18006916 (2007), 29263802 (2016), 30287823 (2018), 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (https://databases.lovd.nl/shared/variants/BRCA1), breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 28364669 (2017), 35205313 (2022)), and in unaffected individuals (PMID: 30287823 (2018), 32467295 (2020), 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (https://databases.lovd.nl/shared/variants/BRCA1)). The effect of this variant on protein function is conflicting. Two functional studies reported this variant was functionally normal in a homology-directed DNA repair assay (PMID: 26689913 (2015)), and a saturation genome editing assay (PMID: 30209399 (2018)). However, another functional study reported this variant was defective in homology-directed DNA repair and was mostly insoluble in an E.coli solubility assay (PMID: 30257991 (2018)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00045 (9/19948 chromosomes in East Asian subpopulation (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is higher than would generally be expected for pathogenic variants in this gene. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is benign or damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.5068A>C (p.Lys1690Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the BRCT domain of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. A recent report from the CAGI5 (fifth Critical Assessment of Genome Interpretation) challenge has classified this variant as likely benign in a prediction protocol that includes assessment of the impact of this variant on splicing and protein function using four sets of predictors (Cline_2019). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.2e-05 in 251460 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00044 within the East Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.5068A>C, has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with breast and/or ovarian Cancer, predominantly of Asian origin (example, Ang_2007, Lang_2017, Li_2017, Lu_2015, Park_2017, Ryu_2017, Seo_2004, Wong_2016, Zhong_2016). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. At-least one co-occurrence with another pathogenic variant(s) has been reported (BRCA2 c.9294C>G, p.Y3098X, Wong_2016), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. Multiple publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. These results showed no damaging effect of this variant on homology directed repair (example, Findlay_2018). Eight clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Multiple laboratories reported the variant with conflicting assessments (likely benign, n=2; VUS, n=6). At-least two submitters have re-classified this variant as likely benign since its previous evaluation. Some submitters cite overlapping evidence utilized in the context of this evaluation. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

The BRCA1 p.Lys1690Gln variant was identified in 11 of 23576 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0005) from Asian individuals or families with breast and/or ovarian cancer and was present in 12 of 22482 control chromosomes (frequency: 0.0005) from healthy individuals (Momozawa 2018, Bhaskaran 2019, Ang 2007). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs397507239) as "With Pathogenic, Uncertain significance allele", however it is noted that there is an alternate variant resulting in a stop codon at this position to which the pathogenic classification likely refers, ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by Ambry Genetics, GeneDx, Color, Invitae and 3 other submitters; and as likely benign by SCRP), LOVD 3.0 (4 entries), UMD-LSDB (1 entry). The variant was also identified by our laboratory in 1 individual with breast cancer. The variant was identified in control databases in 8 of 277098 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00003 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: East Asian in 8 of 18864 chromosomes (freq: 0.0004), while the variant was not observed in the African, Other, Latino, European Non-Finnish, Ashkenazi Jewish, European Finnish, and South Asian populations. In a homology-directed repair assay this variant was shown to have activity comparable to wild type, though insufficient data was available to determine if the finding was statistically significant (Lu 2015). Protein sequence analysis suggests that Lys1690 plays a role in conjugation with small ubiquitin-like modifiers (SUMO) within the BRCT domain though the authors acknowledge that the exact site of conjugation remains unclear (Vialter 2011). The p.Lys1690 residue is 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 2 of 4 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; this is not very predictive of pathogenicity. 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. -
