Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PM1PM2PP3_Strong
The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.73C>A(p.Pro25Thr) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000685 in 1,459,580 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. P25P) has been classified as Benign.
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 p.P25T variant (also known as c.73C>A), located in coding exon 1 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 73. The proline at codon 25 is replaced by threonine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration has been reported in 3 unrelated familial breast/ovarian cancer patients from a cohort of 270 high-risk non-Ashkenazi Jewish families. Authors acknowledged that while no functional assessment was available for this alteration, based on interspecies conservation, amino acid change, and the apparent absence of the same alteration in the average risk population they concluded that this alteration was pathogenic, however not likely due to a founder effect (Kaufman B et al, Genet. Test. 2006; 10(3):200-7). This variant was not reported in population based cohorts in the following databases: Database of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (dbSNP), NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP), and 1000 Genomes Project. In the ESP, this variant was not observed in 6502 samples (13004 alleles) with coverage at this position. To date, this alteration has been detected with an allele frequency of approximately 0.001% (greater than 150000 alleles tested) in our clinical cohort. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of p.P25T remains unclear. -

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 25 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Pro25Thr). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast/ovarian cancer (PMID: 17020472). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 55684). Advanced modeling performed at Invitae incorporating data from internal and/or published experimental studies (PMID: 30209399) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt BRCA1 function. Experimental studies are conflicting or provide insufficient evidence to determine the effect of this variant on BRCA1 function (PMID: 25823446, 30209399). 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. -
