Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV000167826 SCV000076815 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2024-01-25 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 1708 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Ala1708Glu). This variant is present in population databases (rs28897696, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 15923272, 17080309, 19404736, 21063910). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as 5242C>A. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 55407). Advanced modeling performed at Invitae incorporating data from internal and/or published experimental studies (PMID: 30209399) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt BRCA1 function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects BRCA1 function (PMID: 11157798, 15923272, 17305420, 19770520, 20516115, 25748678). RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this missense change on mRNA splicing indicates it does not significantly alter splicing (Invitae). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
Ambry Genetics RCV000131831 SCV000186886 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2021-07-22 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.A1708E pathogenic mutation (also known as c.5123C>A), located in coding exon 16 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 5123. The alanine at codon 1708 is replaced by glutamic acid, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration has been reported in numerous high-risk breast/ovarian cancer families (Fernandez-Lopez JC et al. Hum Genomics 2019 01;13(1):3; Abdel-Razeq H et al. J Oncol 2020 Jul;2020:8362179; Vallon-Christersson J et al. Hum. Mol. Genet. 2001 Feb;10:353-60; Abkevich V et al. J. Med. Genet. 2004 Jul;41:492-507; Capanu M et al. Genet. Epidemiol. 2011 Jul;35:389-97; Gabaldó Barrios X et al. Fam. Cancer. 2017 Oct;16:477-489) and has been described as a founder mutation in the Colombian, Spanish, and Sephardic Jewish populations (Ferla R et al. Ann. Oncol. 2007 Jun;18 Suppl 6:vi93-8; Janavicius R. EPMA J. 2010 Sep;1:397-412; Sagi M et al. Fam. Cancer. 2011 Mar;10:59-63). Multiple functional studies have classified this alteration as deleterious (Findlay GM et al. Nature 2018 10;562(7726):217-222; Thouvenot P et al. PLoS Genet. 2016 06;12:e1006096; Bouwman P et al. Cancer Discov. 2013 Oct;3:1142-55; Lovelock PK et al. J. Med. Genet. 2006 Jan;43:74-83). A statistical algorithm based on personal and family history of cancer has also classified this alteration as pathogenic (Pruss D et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2014 Aug;147:119-32). In addition, p.A1708E was classified as definitely pathogenic (p>0.99) by multifactorial analysis, which integrates the following lines of evidence to produce a quantitative likelihood of pathogenicity: in silico prediction models, segregation with disease, tumor characteristics, and mutation co-occurrence (Easton DF et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 2007 Nov;81:873-83; Lindor NM et al. Hum. Mutat. 2012 Jan;33:8-21; Vallee MP et al. Hum. Mutat. 2012 Jan;33:22-8). Of note, this alteration is also referred to as 5242C>A in published literature. Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.

Additionally, functional studies indicate that this variant has a damaging effect on BRCA1 protein structure and function and may result in aberrant BRCA1 mRNA splicing (PMID: 19404736 (2010), 20516115 (2010), 18036263 (2007), 12400015 (2002), 11157798 (2001)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000058 (2/34580 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic.

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health RCV000131831 SCV000537686 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2023-05-02 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This missense variant replaces alanine with glutamic acid at codon 1708 of the BRCA1 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). RNA studies have reported varying degrees of exon 17 (BIC exon 18) skipping (PMID: 19404736, 20215541, 26780556). Functional studies have reported this variant impacts BRCA1 function in mammalian transcription activation assays (PMID: 15923272, 11157798, 17305420), complementation of BRCA1-deficient embryonic stem cells (PMID: 19770520, 23867111), a haploid cell proliferation assay (PMID: 30209399) and homology-directed repair and chromosome aberration assays (PMID: 34855882). This variant has been observed as a recurrent mutation in Spanish hereditary breast and ovarian cancer families (PMID: 10737987, 12955716, 23479189, 28477318) and in individuals and families affected with breast and ovarian cancer in other populations (PMID: 7939630, 9523200, 11157798, 15340362, 17080309, 19404736, 30606148, 30287823, 33471991, 34196900). This variant has been shown to segregate with disease in three pedigrees (PMID: 15923272). This variant has been identified in 5/251312 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic.

It has also been identified in 2/34580 Latino chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org); however, this frequency is low enough to be consistent with the frequency of HBOC in the general population. Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that this variant may impact the protein. In vitro functional studies provide some evidence that the p.Ala1729Glu variant may cause skipping of exon 18 (Millevoi 2010, Sanz 2010). In addition, this variant was classified as Pathogenic on Aug 10, 2015 by the ClinGen-approved ENIGMA Expert Panel (ClinVar SCV000244385.1). In summary, the p.Ala1729Glu variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant HBOC. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PS4, PM2, PS3_Moderate, PP1_Moderate.

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV000167826 SCV000699205 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2017-01-26 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: The BRCA1 c.5123C>A (p.Ala1708Glu) variant involves the alteration of a conserved nucleotide located in the BRCT domain of the protein (InterPro). 5/5 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this substitution. This variant was found in 3/120626 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000249, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic BRCA1 variant (0.0010005). It was reported in several HBOC patients indicating pathogenicity. Additionally, a functional study demonstrated the variant to result in inappropriate skipping of the entire exon 18, to reduce structural stability, phosphopeptide binding and transcription activity further supporting a deleterious impact. Several variants affecting the same codon are reported in UMD/HGMD/ClinVar such as UMD: c.5123C>G (p.Ala1708Gly), c.5123C>T (p.Ala1708Val), c.5123delC (p.Ala1708GlyfsX6), c.5124G>A (p.Ala1708Ala), c.5122G>C (p.Ala1708Pro) indicating the variant to be located in a mutational hotspot. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic.

This variant has an overall allele frequency of 0.00002 in the Broad Institute gnomAD Browser (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). In silico analyses indicate this is an evolutionarily conserved residue. Thus, this variant is interpreted as pathogenic. PS4-moderate; PP1; PP3

This variant is classified as pathogenic by an expert review panel in ClinVar (Variation ID: 55407). It is found in the general population with a low overall allele frequency of 0.002% (5/251312 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The alanine at codon 1708 is highly conserved, and computational analyses (SIFT, PolyPhen-2) predict that this variant is deleterious. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: de la Hoya M et al.
