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]

Variant summary: The BRCA1 c.1357G>C (p.Glu453Gln) variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide, predicted to be damaging by 2/4 in silico tools (SNPs&GO not captured due to low reliability index), and is located in Serine Rich (S-R) domain of the protein. This variant was found in 1/121328 control chromosomes from ExAC at a frequency of 0.0000082, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic BRCA1 variant (0.0010005). The variant of interest has not, to our knowledge, been reported in affected individuals via publications and/or reputable databases/clinical diagnostic laboratories, nor evaluated for functional impact by in vivo/vitro studies. Nearby region of this codon is not highly clustered with disease-causing mutations (ref. HGMD). Because of the absence of clinical information and the lack of functional studies, the variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance (VUS) until additional information becomes available. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant is denoted BRCA1 c.1357G>C at the cDNA level, p.Glu453Gln (E453Q) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Glutamic Acid to a Glutamine (GAG>CAG). Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA1 1476G>C. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. BRCA1 Glu453Gln was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, suggesting it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Glutamic Acid and Glutamine differ in some properties, this is considered a semi-conservative amino acid substitution. BRCA1 Glu453Gln occurs at a position that is not conserved and is located in the DNA binding domain and the region known to interact with multiple proteins (Narod 2004, Paul 2014). In silico analyses are inconsistent regarding the effect this variant may have on protein structure and function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether BRCA1 Glu453Gln is pathogenic or benign. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

In the published literature, this variant has been reported in individuals with breast cancer (PMID: 33875706 (2021), 33471991 (2021), 32803532 (2020), 30287823 (2018)), prostate cancer (PMID: 31214711 (2020)), and bladder cancer (PMID: 34232950 (2021)). This variant has also been reported in unaffected individuals (PMID: 32467295 (2020), 31214711 (2020), 30287823 (2018)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00002 (3/152194 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. 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. -

Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

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. -

Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Uncertain:1

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 453 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Glu453Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs768054411, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 29176636, 30287823, 31907386, 32803532, 33875706). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 423223). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt BRCA1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
