The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.5120T>G(p.Ile1707Ser) variant causes a missense change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★).
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]

This variant is denoted BRCA1 c.5120T>G at the cDNA level, p.Ile1707Ser (I1707S) at the protein level, and results in the change of an Isoleucine to a Serine (ATT>AGT). Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA1 5239T>G. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as a pathogenic or benign germline variant. BRCA1 Ile1707Ser 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 Isoleucine and Serine differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution. BRCA1 Ile1707Ser occurs at a position that is conserved in mammals and is located in the BRCT1 domain as well as a region known to interact with multiple proteins (Paul 2014, UniProt). In silico analyses predict that this variant is probably damaging to protein structure and function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether BRCA1 Ile1707Ser is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

This sequence change replaces isoleucine with serine at codon 1707 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Ile1707Ser). The isoleucine residue is highly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between isoleucine and serine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with BRCA1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 422989). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. 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. -
