The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.5056C>G(p.His1686Asp) 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 Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. H1686Q) 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.H1686D variant (also known as c.5056C>G), located in coding exon 15 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 5056. The histidine at codon 1686 is replaced by aspartic acid, an amino acid with similar 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 Oct;562:217-222). Two other variants at the same codon in the BRCT domain, p.H1686R (c.5057A>G) and p.H1686Q (c.5057A>G), have been identified in affected patients and shown to be non-functional in several assays (Giannini G, et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 2008;26(25):4212-4; Ambry internal data; Bouwman P et al. Cancer Discov. 2013 Oct;3(10):1142-55; Carvalho MA, et al. Cancer Biol Ther. 2002 Sep-Oct;1(5):502-8; Findlay GM et al. Nature, 2018 Oct;562:217-222). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -
