Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PM1PM2PM5PP3_Moderate
The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.5236C>T(p.His1746Tyr) 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 (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. H1746D) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.
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]
Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points.
PM1
?
PM1 - Located in a mutational hot spot and/or critical and well-established functional domain (e.g., active site of an enzyme) without benign variation
In a hotspot region, there are 10 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 5 benign, 17 uncertain in NM_007294.4
PM2
?
PM2 - Absent from controls (or at extremely low frequency if recessive) in Exome Sequencing Project, 1000 Genomes Project, or Exome Aggregation Consortium
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PM5
?
PM5 - Novel missense change at an amino acid residue where a different missense change determined to be pathogenic has been seen before
Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr17-43057093-G-C is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 531399.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Uncertain_significance=2, not_provided=1, Likely_pathogenic=2}.
PP3
?
PP3 - Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene or gene product (conservation, evolutionary, splicing impact, etc.)
MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.859

The BRCA1 p.His1746Tyr variant has not been previously reported. The p.His1746 residue is conserved across mammals and lower organisms and computational analyses (PolyPhen2, SIFT, AlignGVGD) suggest that the variant may impact the protein. However, this information is not predictive enough to assume pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in-silico or computational prediction software (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) does not predict a difference in splicing. Another missense alteration at the same amino acid position (c.5236C>A, p.His1746Asn) has been reported in HGMD, UMD, BIC, and LOVD with unknown clinical significance. In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined at this time. Therefore this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -
