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

The p.E1000K variant (also known as c.2998G>A), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2998. The glutamic acid at codon 1000 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant was previously detected in a patient from a hereditary breast/ovarian cancer family (Judkins T et al. Cancer Res., 2005 Nov;65:10096-103). This amino acid position is not well 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.

This missense variant replaces glutamic acid with lysine at codon 1000 of the BRCA1 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function. A functional study has reported that this variant does not impact BRCA1 function in cisplatin and PARP inhibitor sensitivity assays and in a homology-directed DNA repair assay in mouse Brca1-null embryonic stem cells (PMID: 32546644). This variant has been detected in a breast cancer case-control meta-analysis in 3/60466 cases and 1/53461 unaffected individuals (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA1_001846). A multifactorial analysis has reported co-occurrence and family history likelihood ratios of pathogenicity of 1.1026 and 0.045, respectively (PMID: 31131967). This variant has been identified in 1/250624 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.

This missense variant replaces glutamic acid with lysine at codon 1000 of the BRCA1 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). A functional study has reported that this variant does not impact BRCA1 function in cisplatin and PARP inhibitor sensitivity assays and in a homology-directed DNA repair assay in mouse Brca1-null embryonic stem cells (PMID: 32546644). This variant has been detected in a breast cancer case-control meta-analysis in 3/60466 cases and 1/53461 unaffected individuals (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA1_001846).

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.

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.2998G>A (p.Glu1000Lys) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 250624 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.2998G>A has been reported in the literature in at least one individual affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (Judkins_2005). This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. These results showed no damaging effect of this variant. Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. One laboratory classified the variant as likely benign, and one laboratory classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign.
