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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJan 06, 2017Variant summary: The BRCA1 c.4480G>A (p.Glu1494Lys) variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide and is outside of some commonly known BRCA1 domains (RING, S-R and BRCT) (InterPro). 4/4 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. This variant was found in 1/121368 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000082, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic BRCA1 variant (0.0010005). In literature, this variant has been reported in one HBOC patient without strong evidence for pathogenicity (Judkins _2005/BIC). One clinical diagnostic laboratory and a reputable database have classified this variant as uncertain significance. Taken together, this variant is classified as Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxDec 12, 2022Published functional studies demonstrate approximately 80% transcription activity when compared to wild-type (Woods et al., 2016); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Observed in at least one individual referred for BRCA1/2 genetic testing (Judkins et al., 2005); Also known as 4599G>A; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 21520333, 10923033, 29884841, 15343273, 22737296, 16267036, 28781887, 32377563) -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsApr 24, 2024The p.E1494K variant (also known as c.4480G>A), located in coding exon 12 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 4480. The glutamic acid at codon 1494 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration had near wildtype transcription activation activity, however, this alteration does not lie in the BRCA1 transactivation or coiled-coil domains which casts doubt on the clinical interpretation of these data (Woods NT et al. NPJ Genom Med, 2016 Mar;1:). This amino acid position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthNov 21, 2022This missense variant replaces glutamic acid with lysine at codon 1494 of the BRCA1 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). A functional study has reported that this variant does not impact BRCA1 function in a transcription activation assay (PMID: 28781887). This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with BRCA1-related disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 2/282604 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. -
