Variant summary
Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 1 ACMG points: 2P and 1B. PM2BP4
The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.442C>A(p.Gln148Lys) variant causes a missense, splice region change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000657 in 152,202 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. Q148R) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2
This missense variant replaces glutamine with lysine at codon 148 of the BRCA1 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function. This single nucleotide change is located in the first nucleotide of exon 7 and adjacent to the intron 6 splice acceptor site. Splicing prediction algorithms have predicted a splicing impact (PMID: 30661751, 35449021), and this variant has been reported to have incomplete splicing impact of uncertain functional significance (ClinVar accession id: SCV000277777.8, SCV000549353.8). A multifactorial analysis has reported a likelihood ratio for pathogenicity based on personal and family history of 0.347 from log(LR)=-0.460146576 of a single carrier (PMID: 31853058). This variant has not been identified 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. -
The p.Q148K variant (also known as c.442C>A) is located in coding exon 6 of the BRCA1 gene. The glutamine at codon 148 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties. This change occurs in the first base pair of coding exon 6. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration may weaken the native splice acceptor site and may result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice acceptor site. RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in an incomplete splice defect; the clinical impact of this abnormal splicing is unknown at this time (Ambry internal data). In addition, as a missense variant, the in silico prediction for impact on the protein is inconclusive Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Uncertain:1
This sequence change replaces glutamine, which is neutral and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 148 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Gln148Lys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BRCA1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 233408). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Studies have shown this missense change is associated with deletion of 1 amino acid (p.Gln148del) (also known as Δ7p) as well as activation of a cryptic splice site, but one or more of the resulting mRNA isoform(s) may be naturally occurring (Invitae). 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. -
