Ambry Genetics RCV000131693 SCV000186729 likely pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2021-03-26 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.M18T variant (also known as c.53T>C), located in coding exon 1 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 53. The methionine at codon 18 is replaced by threonine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been detected in numerous early-onset breast and/or ovarian cancer patients and has been associated with a significant reduction in homologous-directed recombination activity compared with wild type BRCA1 (p<0.001) (Langston AA et al. N. Engl. J. Med. 1996; 334:137-42, Greenman J et al. Genes Chromosomes Cancer 1998; 21:244-9, Malone KE et al. JAMA 1998; 279:922-9, Ransburgh DJ et al. Cancer Res., 2010 Feb;70:988-95; Towler WI et al. Hum. Mutat. 2013; 34:439-45). This alteration also demonstrated reduced ubiquitin ligase activity and BARD1 binding activity as compared to wild type (Whiley PJ et al. PLoS ONE, 2014 Jan;9:e86836; Starita LM et al. Genetics. 2015 Jun;200(2):413-22). An additional functional study found that this nucleotide substitution is deleterious in a high throughput genome editing haploid cell survival assay (Findlay GM et al. Nature, 2018 10;562:217-222). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic.
GeneDx RCV000212154 SCV000210063 likely pathogenic not provided 2018-08-18 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant is denoted BRCA1 c.53T>C at the cDNA level, p.Met18Thr (M18T) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Methionine to a Threonine (ATG>ACG). Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA1 172T>C. BRCA1 Met18Thr has been observed in multiple individuals with breast or ovarian cancer, including male breast cancer (Langston 1996, Greenman1998, Malone 1998, van Orsouw 1999), and was reported to segregate with disease in two kindreds (Mohammadi 2009). This variant was predicted by Lindor et al. (2012) to likely be pathogenic based on tumor pathology, clinical histories, family studies, and co-occurrence with deleterious variants. Functional studies have found discordant results with respect to ubiquitin ligase activity and BARD1 binding, but have revealed impaired homology-directed repair activity, increased centrosome amplification, and loss of ability to rescue cell growth (Ruffner 2001, Morris 2004, Morris 2006, Sarkar 2008, Ransburgh 2010, Parvin 2011, Kais 2012, Bouwman 2013, Towler 2013, Starita 2015). BRCA1 Met18Thr was not observed in large population cohorts (Lek 2016). This variant is located in the RING domain and a region that binds BRD7 and BARD1 (Narod 2004, Borg 2010, Harte 2010, Paul 2014). In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect. Based on the currently available information, we consider BRCA1 Met18Thr to be a likely pathogenic variant.

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health RCV000131693 SCV000909428 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2021-10-12 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This missense variant replaces methionine with threonine at codon 18 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). Multiple functional studies have reported that this variant impacted BRCA1 function in homology-directed repair and cell proliferation assays (PMID: 21372787, 23867111, 24489791, 30219179, 30209399). This variant has been detected in at least seven individuals affected with breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 8531967, 9523200, 10528853, 20103620, 25893891, 30078507; BIC accession number 3074), and it has also been reported to segregate with disease in carrier families (PMID: 19563646, 31131967) and has a family history likelihood ratio for pathogenicity of 25.4786 (PMID: 31131967). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of BRCA1 function is a known mechanism of disease. Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic.

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV001253789 SCV001478704 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2021-01-07 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: BRCA1 c.53T>C (p.Met18Thr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Zinc finger, RING-type domain of 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 254472 control chromosomes (ACMG, PM2). c.53T>C has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (ACMG, PS4). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. In functional analyses, multiple studies have reported deleterious effects of the variant, including centrosome amplification, defective BRCA1-mediated homologous repair, defective double-strand break repair, and defective homology-directed recombination (HDR) (Kais_2013, Parvin_2011, Ransburgh_2010, Towler_2013) (ACMG, PS3). In addition, multifactorial probability models have predicted the variant to be likely pathogenic or pathogenic (Lindor_2012, Easton_2007, Parsons_2019). Six submitters including an expert panel have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
Invitae RCV001253789 SCV001575134 likely pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2024-01-27 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 18 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Met18Thr). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 8531967, 9523200, 9544766, 10528853, 16683254, 28888541, 31907386). This variant is also known as c.172T>C. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37664). 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: 20103620, 21725363, 23161852, 23867111, 25823446, 27272900). 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.
