This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.5075A>T variant in BRCA1 is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of aspartic acid by valine at amino acid 1692 (p.Asp1692Val). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 (exomes only, non-cancer subset, read depth ≥25) and gnomAD v3.1 (non-cancer subset, read depth ≥25) (PM2_Supporting met). This BRCA1 missense variant has a SpliceAI score of 0.32, predicting an impact on splicing (score threshold ≥0.2) (PP3 met). Missense variant predicted to alter splicing, functional data considered only from assays that measure effect via mRNA and protein. Reported by one calibrated study incorporating mRNA splicing effects to exhibit function similar to pathogenic control variants (PMID:30209399) (PS3 met). Multifactorial likelihood ratio analysis using clinically calibrated data produced a combined LR for this variant of 15.2 (based on Family History LR=15.2), within the thresholds for moderate evidence towards pathogenicity (LR >4.3 & ≤18.7) (PP4_Moderate met; PMID, 3185305). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as a likely pathogenic variant for BRCA1-related cancer predisposition based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied as specified by the ENIGMA BRCA1/2 VCEP (PM2_Supporting, PP3, PS3, PP4_Moderate).

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.5075A>T at the cDNA level and p.Asp1692Val (D1692V) at the protein level, and results in the change of an Aspartic Acid to a Valine (GAT>GTT). This variant, also known as BRCA1 5194A>T using alternate nomenclature, has been reported in one individual with ovarian cancer (Akbari 2011). BRCA1 Asp1692Val 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 Aspartic Acid and Valine differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution. BRCA1 Asp1692Val occurs at a position that is conserved in mammals and is located in the BRCT domain (UniProt). In silico analyses predict that this variant is probably damaging to protein structure and function. Despite some evidence suggesting pathogenicity, we consider BRCA1 Asp1692Val to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

The BRCA1 c.5075A>T (p.Asp1692Val) variant has been reported in the published literature in an individual with ovarian cancer (PMID: 21965345 (2011)), and characterized as being non-functional in a saturation genome editing assays measuring DNA repair-dependent cell proliferation (PMIDs: 30209399 (2018)). At this codon, a different variant (c.5075A>C (p.Asp1692Ala)) has been shown to cause nearly abolished BRCA1 transactivation activity (PMIDs: 30458859 (2018), 27495310 (2017)), while other amino acid substitutions (e.g. p.Asp1692His, p.Asp1692Tyr, p.Asp1692Asn) result in partial to near normal levels of BRCT domain stability, binding activity and specificity (PMID: 20516115 (2010)). The c.5075A>T (p.Asp1692Val) variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is deleterious or benign. Additional analysis using software algorithms for the prediction of the effect of nucleotide changes on BRCA1 mRNA splicing yielded inconclusive findings. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

The c.5075A>T variant in BRCA1 is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of aspartic acid by valine at amino acid 1692 (p.Asp1692Val). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 (exomes only, non-cancer subset, read depth ≥25) and gnomAD v3.1 (non-cancer subset, read depth ≥25) (PM2_Supporting met).

The p.D1692V variant (also known as c.5075A>T) is located in coding exon 16 of the BRCA1 gene. The aspartic acid at codon 1692 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This variant was identified in one out of 1345 ovarian cancer patients (Akbari MR et al. J. Med. Genet. 2011 Nov; 48(11):783-6). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). One functional study found that this nucleotide substitution is deleterious in a high throughput genome editing haploid cell survival assay (Findlay GM et al. Nature, 2018 10;562:217-222). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1692 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Asp1692Val). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with ovarian cancer (PMID: 21965345). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 55383). 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. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects BRCA1 function (PMID: 30209399). Studies have shown that this missense change is associated with inconclusive levels of altered splicing (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. -
