This missense variant replaces glutamic acid with aspartic acid at codon 143 of the BRCA1 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with breast cancer (PMID: 32772980) 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_001290). A multifactorial analysis has reported likelihood ratio for pathogenicity based on tumor pathology of 1.36 (PMID: 31131967). This variant has been identified in 5/251074 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. -
not provided Uncertain:2
The BRCA1 c.429A>C (p.Glu143Asp) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals affected with breast cancer (PMIDs: 33471991 (2021), 32772980 (2020), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/BRCA1)). Functional studies indicate that this variant does not have an impact on the function of the BRCA1 protein (PMID: 32546644 (2020)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00014 (3/21614 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 predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -
Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports that this variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 21520333, 22505045, 29858219) -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2
This missense variant replaces glutamic acid with aspartic acid at codon 143 of the BRCA1 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with breast cancer (PMID: 32772980) 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_001290).

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.E143D variant (also known as c.429A>C), located in coding exon 5 of the BRCA1 gene, results from an A to C substitution at nucleotide position 429. The glutamic acid at codon 143 is replaced by aspartic acid, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration was detected in a Polish/Ukranian breast cancer cohort (Nguyen-Dumont T et al. Genet Res (Camb), 2020 Aug;102:e6). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Uncertain:1
This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 143 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Glu143Asp). This variant is present in population databases (rs397507228, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 32772980). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37582). 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 not expected to disrupt BRCA1 protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect BRCA1 function (PMID: 32546644). 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. -
not specified Benign:1
Variant summary: BRCA1 c.429A>C (p.Glu143Asp) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2e-05 in 251074 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.429A>C has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with breast cancer, without strong evidence for causality (e.g. Nguyen-Dumont_2020). This report does 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_2020). These results showed no damaging effect of this variant on ability to complement BRCA1-deficient mouse embryonic stem cells in homologous recombination DNA repair (HRR) using cisplatin and olaparib sensitivity assays and a direct GFP HRR assay. The HDR assay qualifies as a standardized gold-standard assay on the basis of the updated guidance provided by the ClinGen Sequence Variant Interpretation (SVI) Working Group (Brnich_2019). ClinGen SVI now recognizes benign functional evidence as sufficient for likely benign (Tavtigian_2018). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 32772980, 32546644). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37582). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
