Genes affected
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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxSep 18, 2018This variant is denoted BRCA1 c.2246A>T at the cDNA level, p.Asp749Val (D749V) at the protein level, and results in the change of an Aspartic Acid to a Valine (GAT>GTT). Using alternate nomenclature, this variant has previously been published as BRCA1 2365A>T. This variant was observed in an individual with a family history of breast cancer, who also carried a pathogenic BRCA1 variant (Reeves 2004). This variant was also observed in an individual undergoing hereditary cancer testing, for whom a personal and/or family history was not provided (Judkins 2005). BRCA1 Asp749Val was not observed at a significant allele frequency in large population cohorts (Lek 2016). This variant is located in the DNA and STAT1 binding domains (Ouchi 2000, Narod 2004). In-silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether BRCA1 Asp749Val is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJan 19, 2023The p.D749V variant (also known as c.2246A>T), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from an A to T substitution at nucleotide position 2246. The aspartic acid at codon 749 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. In one study of 90 South African breast/ovarian cancer families, this variant was observed in a family with nine cases of breast cancer and co-occurred with BRCA1 p.E881* (Reeves MD et al. Int. J. Cancer. 2004 Jul; 110(5):677-82). This alteration has also been detected in another patient from a breast and/or ovarian cancer family (Judkins T et al. Cancer Res. 2005 Nov;65(21):10096-103). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpAug 07, 2021Variant summary: BRCA1 c.2246A>T (p.Asp749Val) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251204 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.2246A>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with and/or undergoing screening for Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (example, Reeves_2004, Judkins_2005). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 16, 2024This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 749 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Asp749Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs730881479, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer for which a pathogenic allele was also identified in the BRCA1 gene however there was insufficient evidence to conclude whether or not these variants segregate with disease (PMID: 15146556). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 182143). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt BRCA1 protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. 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. -
