Ambry Genetics RCV000772239 SCV001185534 likely pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2022-11-18 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.W1718G variant (also known as c.5152T>G), located in coding exon 16 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 5152. The amino acid change results in tryptophan to glycine at codon 1718, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This change occurs in the last base pair of coding exon 16, which makes it likely to have some effect on normal mRNA splicing. This variant was reported in 1/60,466 breast cancer cases and in 0/53,461 controls (Dorling et al. N Engl J Med. 2021 02;384:428-439). One functional study found that this nucleotide substitution is non-functional in a high-throughput, genome editing, haploid cell survival assay (Findlay GM et al. Nature, 2018 10;562:217-222). This variant is considered to be rare based on population 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.
Invitae RCV001050456 SCV001214564 uncertain significance Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2024-01-12 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1718 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Trp1718Gly). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BRCA1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 627968). 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 tolerated. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects BRCA1 function (PMID: 30209399). This variant disrupts the p.Trp1718 amino acid residue in BRCA1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 12491487, 15172985, 23683081, 25452441, 26153499, 30287823, 31112363). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. 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.
Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV001050456 SCV001623344 likely pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2021-04-18 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: BRCA1 c.5152T>G (p.Trp1718Gly) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the BRCT domain (IPR001357) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. BRCT domain is highly conserved and known to interact with multiple phospho-proteins in facilitating the tumor suppression function of BRCA1 (Sinha_2021). Other pathogenic variants in the BRCT domain have been reported. However, a computational study utilizing molecular dynamic simulation to classify VUS in the BRCT domain of BRCA1 reported this change as tolerated (Singh_2020). This variant also alters the last nucleotide of exon 17 adjacent to the canonical splice donor site. 4/4 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant was absent in 251212 control chromosomes. c.5152T>G has been reported in the literature in at-least one individual affected with breast cancer in a large study that used a panel of 34 putative susceptibility genes to perform sequencing on 60,466 women with breast cancer and 53,461 controls (example, Dorling_2021). These data do not allow unequivocal conclusions about variant significance. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in a loss of HDR activity (example, Findlay_2018). 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 uncertain significance. At-least one submitter cites overlapping functional evidence utilized in the context of this evaluation. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic.
