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]

The BRCA1 c.1573G>A (p.Val525Ile) variant has been reported in an individual with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 23961350 (2012)). In addition, this variant is reported to be located in region of the BRCA1 gene that is tolerant to missense sequence changes (PMID: 31911673 (2020)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0002 (5/24928 chromosomes in African/African American 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 (i.e., MutationTaster and PolyPhen-2) for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The BRCA1 p.Val525Ile variant was identified by Solano (2012) in an individual referred for testing due to early onset of breast or ovarian cancer or a family history of breast or ovarian cancer. The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs80357273) the BIC database (1X with unknown clinical importance), and UMD (1X as an unclassified variant). The variant was classified as likely benign by the Sharing Clinical Reports Project (SCRP) (submitted within the ClinVar database and derived from Myriad reports). The p.Val525 residue is not conserved in mammals and the variant amino acid isoleucine (Ile) is present in chicken, increasing the likelihood that this variant does not have clinical significance. Computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein. In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as predicted benign. -

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.1573G>A (p.Val525Ile) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function consistent with its presence in a coldspot region where missense variants are very unlikely to be pathogenic (PMID:31911673). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 250234 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1573G>A has been reported in the literature as a VUS in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer and pancreatic cancer (example, Solano_2013, Shindo_2017, Hauke_2020). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 28767289, 23961350,33273034). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 54298). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
