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 submitter	clinical testing	All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health	Jan 11, 2024	This missense variant replaces arginine with tryptophan at codon 170 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).Functional studies have reported that this variant does not impact BRCA1 in on growth and homology-directed DNA repair assays in mouse Brca1-null embryonic stem cells (PMID: 23867111, 32546644). This variant has been reported in an individual affected with breast cancer (PMID: 25186627) and in a breast cancer case-control meta-analysis in 2/60466 cases and 0/53461 unaffected individuals (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA1_001411). This variant also has been reported in a breast cancer case-control study and a pancreatic cancer case-control study in which this variant is absent in cases and found only in one unaffected individual in the control cohort (PMID: 30287823, 32980694). A multifactorial analysis has reported likelihood ratios for pathogenicity based on tumor pathology, co-occurrence with a pathogenic variant and family history of 0.544, 1.0673, 0.0641, respectively (PMID: 31131967). This variant has been identified in 3/251458 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. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome

Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Jun 01, 2023	The p.R170W variant (also known as c.508C>T), located in coding exon 6 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 508. The arginine at codon 170 is replaced by tryptophan, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. Functional analysis of this alteration using cDNA-based functional complementation assays in mouse embryonic stem cells demonstrated that this alteration resulted in similar proliferation rates as wildtype, and was not deleterious based on cisplatin sensitivity assays (Bouwman P et al. Cancer Discov 2013 Oct; 3(10):1142-55). This alteration was not observed in unselected male breast cancer patients but was observed with an allele frequency of 0.0001 in 12490 male controls of Japanese ancestry (Momozawa Y et al. Nat Commun, 2018 10;9:4083). This variant was also reported in 2/60,466 breast cancer cases and in 0/53,461 controls (Dorling et al. N Engl J Med. 2021 02;384:428-439). 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 submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Aug 10, 2020	Variant summary: BRCA1 c.508C>T (p.Arg170Trp) results in a non-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 1.2e-05 in 251458 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.508C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Breast Cancer (example, Tung_2014) as well as an unaffected Japanese male control (Momozawa_2018). These report(s) do 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 (Bouwman_2013). These results showed no damaging effect of this variant based on cisplatin response. A recent report from the CAGI5 (fifth Critical Assessment of Genome Interpretation) challenge has classified this variant as benign in a prediction protocol that includes assessment of the impact of this variant on splicing and protein function using four sets of predictors (Padilla_2019). Six clinical diagnostic laboratories and one expert panel (ENIGMA) have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All clinical diagnostic laboratories classify the variant as VUS while the expert panel has settled upon a definitive classification as Benign based on posterior probability from multifactorial likelihood analysis (Plon_2008). Based on the evidence outlined above, until the consensus interpretation converges to a neutral/benign outcome, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
