Invitae RCV000048768 SCV000076781 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2023-06-11 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this missense change results in two alternately spliced products, one with skipping of exon 16 and another with retention of 153 nucleotides of intron 16 and introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 20516115, 21769658, 22505045, 23239986, 25724305, 30209399; Invitae). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects BRCA1 function (PMID: 30209399). 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. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37633). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with BRCA1-related conditions (PMID: 21769658, 22505045, 22762150, 23239986, 28294317, 29446198, 30702160). This variant is present in population databases (rs80187739, gnomAD 0.01%). This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1692 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Asp1692His). RNA analysis indicates that this missense change induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product.
Ambry Genetics RCV000220578 SCV000277819 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2017-12-26 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The c.5074G>C pathogenic mutation (also known as p.D1692H), located in coding exon 15 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 5074. The amino acid change results in aspartic acid to histidine at codon 1692, an amino acid with similar properties. However, this change occurs in the last base pair of coding exon 15, which makes it likely to have some effect on normal mRNA splicing. This mutation has been identified in multiple families affected with phenotypes consistent with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) syndrome (Lecarpentier J et al. Breast Cancer Res. 2012 Jul 3;14(4):R99; Thomassen M et al. Breast Cancer Res Treat. 2012 Apr;132(3):1009-23). This mutation has also been shown by functional splicing assays to result in abnormal protein transcripts by either skipping of coding exon 15 or in-frame retention of a portion of intron 15 (Houdayer C et al. Hum Mutat. 2012 Aug;33(8):1228-38; Wappenschmidt B et al. PLoS One. 2012;7(12):e50800; Ahlborn LB et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat., 2015 Apr;150:289-98). Note that this alteration is also referred to as 5193G>C in published literature. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as a pathogenic mutation.
GeneDx RCV000256114 SCV000322068 likely pathogenic not provided 2016-10-03 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant is denoted BRCA1 c.5074G>C at the cDNA level. Using alternate nomenclature, this variant has been previously published as BRCA1 5193G>C. Although the nucleotide substitution results in the change of an Aspartic Acid to a Histidine at codon 1692, and is called Asp1692His in the literature, we are using only the nucleotide nomenclature to refer to the variant since the defect is determined to be one of splicing. BRCA1 c.5074G>C 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. The nucleotide which is altered, a guanine (G) at base 5074, is conserved through mammals.Multiple splicing models predict that this variant may greatly weaken or destroy the natural splice donor site and lead to abnormal splicing. In vitro studies demonstrate that this exonic splicing variant leads to multiple aberrant transcripts. One such alternate transcript demonstrates skipping of exon 17; however naturally occurring BRCA1 isoforms exist where exon 17 is skipped (Wappenschmidt 2012, Ahlborn 2015). Importantly, a second aberrant transcript has been observed in which a cryptic splice site is activated leading to retention of 153 nucleotides of intron 17 within the spliced transcript (Wappenschmidt 2012, Thomassen 2012, Ahlborn 2015). Thus, significant in vitro evidence suggests pathogenicity, although given the alternate splicing mechanism of the variant, the in vivo effect is less clear. Based on the currently available information, we consider BRCA1 c.5074G>C to be a likely pathogenic variant.

GeneKor MSA RCV000256114 SCV000693542 pathogenic not provided 2020-01-01 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant is a single amino acid change from Aspartic acid to Histidine at amino acid residue 1692 of the BRCA1 gene. The Aspartic acid residue is highly conserved among species and it is located in a functional domain of the protein. There is a moderate physiochemical difference between Aspartic acid and Histidine (Grantham Score 81). This variant is present in population databases at a very low frequency (rs80187739, ExAC 0.002%) and it has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 21769658, 22762150, 22505045). This variant occurs at the last nucleotide of exon 16 of the BRCA1 coding sequence which is highly conserved in the human and other genomes, and is part of the consensus splice site. Nucleotide substitutions within the consensus splice site are relatively common causes of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681). Experimental studies have shown that this missense change disrupts normal splicing and leads to two alternately spliced products; one lucking exon 16 and another with retention of 153 base pairs of intron 16. This is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product and compromised transcription activation activity (PMID: 21769658, 22505045, 25724305). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function suggest that this variant may be damaging to the protein. The mutation database ClinVar contains entries for this variant (Variation ID: 37633).
Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV000048768 SCV000699198 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2017-03-24 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: The BRCA1 c.5074G>C (p.Asp1692His) variant involves the alteration of a conserved nucleotide at the exon 17-intron 17 junction and results in a missense subtitution. 5/5 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. 5/5 splice prediction tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing and ESE finder predicts that this variant may affect several ESE sites at the locus. Functional studies have demonstrated in vitro splicing aberrations caused by the variant, including exon 17 skipping (Wappenschmidt_PLos One_2012; Ahlborn_BCRT_2015) and retention of 153bp of intron 17 that is predicted to result in a truncated protein (Ahlborn_BCRT_2015; Wappenschmidt_PLos One_2012; Thomassen_BRCA1&2_BCRT_2011). One study also showed a significant or total reduction of WT transcript via RT-PCR and agarose gel band sequence analysis (Thomassent_BRCA1&2_BCRT_2011). The variant lies within the BRCT domain and a functional study showed that a cell line with the variant had a 31% reduction in DNA repair (Coupier_Oncogene_2004). This variant was found in the large control database ExAC at a frequency of 0.0000083 (1/121082 control chromosomes), which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic BRCA1 variant (0.0010005). In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic.

Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine RCV000048768 SCV000966915 likely pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2021-01-12 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.Asp1692His variant in BRCA1 has been reported in at least 7 individuals with BRCA1-associated cancers (Lecarpentier 2012 PMID: 22762150, Houdayer 2012 PMID: 22505045, Thomassen 2012 PMID: 21769658, Wappenschmidt 2012 PMID: 23239986, Rebbeck 2018 PMID: 29446198, Breast Cancer Information Core (BIC) database: https://research.nhgri.nih.gov/bic/). This variant has also been identified in 1/10078 Ashkenazi Jewish chromosomes, 1/113660 European chromosomes and 1/34586 Latino chromosomes in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). This frequency is low enough to be consistent with the frequency of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) in the general population. This variant is located in the last three bases of the exon, which is part of the 5' splice region. Multiple functional studies using patient RNA provide some evidence that the p.Asp1692His variant causes aberrant splicing (Houdayer 2012 PMID: 22505045, Thomassen 2012 PMID: 21769658, Wappenschmidt 2012 PMID: 23239986, Ahlborn 2015 PMID: 25724305, Woods 2016 PMID: 28781887). In addition, computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that the p.Asp1692His variant may impact the protein. Moreover, this variant was classified as pathogenic on June 18th 2019, by the ClinGen-approved ENIGMA expert panel (Variation ID 37633). In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, the p.Ala1623Gly variant is likely pathogenic.

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health RCV000220578 SCV001346671 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2022-11-11 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This missense variant replaces aspartic acid with histidine at codon 1692 of the BRCA1 protein. Computational prediction tool suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). RNA studies reported that this variant causes aberrant mRNA splicing that introduces either a frameshift and/or a premature termination codon in patient RNA and minigene splicing assay (PMID: 21769658, 22505045, 25724305). Functional studies also have reported that this variant impacts BRCA1 function in homology-directed repair, transcription activation and haploid cell proliferation assays (PMID: 20516115, 30209399, 32546644). This variant has been reported in at least six individuals affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 21769658, 23239986, 28294317, https://doi.org/10.1515/tjb-2019-0424). This variant has also been identified in 3/251348 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition, different variants affecting the same position (c.5074G>A, c.5074G>T) are considered to be disease-causing (ClinVar variation ID: 37632, 55376), suggesting that the nucleotide at this position is important for normal RNA splicing. Loss of BRCA1 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic.

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System RCV001353883 SCV000591568 pathogenic Malignant tumor of breast no assertion criteria provided clinical testing The p.Asp1692His variant was identified by Coupier (2004) in an individual with breast cancer, and was also identified in the following databases: dbSNP (ID: rs80187739) “With pathogenic, probable-pathogenic, untested allele”, HGMD, UMD (2X as a causal variant), BIC (3X with clinical importance) and LOVD. The p.Asp1692 residue is conserved in mammals and lower organisms and computational analyses (PolyPhen2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM) suggest that the p.Asp1692His variant may impact the protein. However, this information is not predictive enough to assume pathogenicity. The c.5074G>C mutation occurs at the last base of the exon, a position which has been shown to be part of the splicing consensus sequence, and variants involving this position sometimes affect splicing. In-silico or computational prediction software (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, HumanSpliceFinder) predicts a greater than 10% difference in splicing in 4 of 4 different programs, supporting a pathogenic role for this variant. There are conflicting results in the literature regarding the effect of the variant on splicing and protein function. Two studies detected a cryptic splice site in intron 17 by RT-PCR, with a predicted frame-shift and truncation of the encoded protein (Thomassen 2012, Wappenschmidt 2012). In addition, Wappenschmidt (2012) found that the variant enhanced exon 17 skipping compared to controls; this effect was also reported by Houdayer (2012), though it should be noted that transcripts lacking exon 17 have been found in controls, representing a naturally occurring isoform (Wappenschmidt 2012). Another study did not detect any abnormal transcript from a proband with this variant (Coupier 2004). Assays evaluating peptide binding and structural stability (Lee 2010), or DNA repair (Coupier 2004) yielded intermediate or inconclusive results as compared to wild-type protein function. In summary, based on the above information and the consensus from several of the above sources supports a more pathogenic role for this variant. This variant is classified pathogenic.
