Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 15 ACMG points: 15P and 0B. PM1PM2PM5PP3PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.5154G>T(p.Trp1718Cys) variant causes a missense, splice region change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 2/3 splice prediction tools predicting alterations to normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Pathogenic in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. W1718R) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Pathogenic:2
Variant summary: BRCA1 c.5154G>T (p.Trp1718Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 250912 control chromosomes. c.5154G>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome and to co-segregate with disease in at-least one multigenerational family with early onset breast cancer (example, Mirkovic_2004, LaDuca_2017, Blay_2013, Momozawa_2018). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Multiple publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in loss of activity in multiple independent assays to include homology directed repair (HDR) capacity, protein folding stability, binding specificity to known functional target of the BRCA1 BRCT domain and transcriptional activity (example, Findlay_2018, Lee_2010). Three 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 likely pathogenic citing overlapping evidence utilized in the context of this evaluation. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
This sequence change replaces tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 1718 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Trp1718Cys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 12491487, 15172985, 23683081, 25452441, 26153499, 30287823, 31112363). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 55435). 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: 14534301, 15172985, 16528612, 20516115, 23867111, 30209399). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Also known as 5273G>T; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 26153499, 14534301, 25724305, 25452441, 12491487, 20516115, 15172985, 23683081, 16528612, 23867111, 12270722, 30209399, 33087888, 28152038, 25348405, 35665744, 32546644, 30765603) -

The p.W1718C variant (also known as c.5154G>T) is located in coding exon 17 of the BRCA1 gene. This alteration results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 5154. The tryptophan at codon 1718 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. A study confirmed the strong adverse effect of this alteration on protein function, including decreased stability (4% of WT), protease activity (<10% of WT), binding specificity (<20% of WT), and transcription activity (<20% of WT) (Lee MS et al. Cancer Res. 2010 Jun 15;70(12):4880-90). This alteration has also been classified as non-functional based on a saturation genome editing functional assay (Findlay GM et al. Nature. 2018 10;562(7726):217-222), and in assays investigating resistance to Olaparib and Cisplatin (Bouwman P et al. Cancer Discov. 2013 Oct;3(10):1142-55). This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -
