The ENST00000357654.9(BRCA1):c.1033G>T(p.Asp345Tyr) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. D345G) has been classified as Likely 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]

This missense variant replaces aspartic acid with tyrosine at codon 345 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 three individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 20104584, 22486713, http://dx.doi.org/10.17582/journal.pjz/2019.51.4.sc2) and an individual affected with ovarian cancer (PMID: 26541979). This variant has not been identified 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. -

The p.D345Y variant (also known as c.1033G>T), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 1033. The aspartic acid at codon 345 is replaced by tyrosine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This variant has been previously detected in breast cancer cohorts in the literature (Borg A et al. Hum. Mutat., 2010 Mar;31:E1200-40; Ahmad J et al. Clin. Genet., 2012 Dec;82:594-8). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. However, this alteration is predicted to be possibly damaging and deleterious by PolyPhen and SIFT in silico analyses, respectively. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This variant is denoted BRCA1 c.1033G>T at the cDNA level, p.Asp345Tyr (D345Y) at the protein level, and results in the change of an Aspartic Acid to a Tyrosine (GAT>TAT). Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA1 1152G>T. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as being pathogenic or benign. BRCA1 Asp345Tyr was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Aspartic Acid and Tyrosine differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution. BRCA1 Asp345Tyr occurs at a position that is not conserved and is located in a region known to interact with multiple proteins (Paul 2014). In silico analyses are inconsistent regarding the effect this variant may have on protein structure and function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether BRCA1 Asp345Tyr is pathogenic or benign. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 345 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Asp345Tyr). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 20104584, 22486713, 30093976). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37388). 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. -
