This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1854 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Leu1854Pro). 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: 35918668). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 55631). Invitae Evidence Modeling incorporating data from in vitro experimental studies (PMID: 30209399) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt BRCA1 function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies are conflicting or provide insufficient evidence to determine the effect of this variant on BRCA1 function (PMID: 20516115, 30209399, 30765603). 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.

The p.L1854P variant (also known as c.5561T>C), located in coding exon 22 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 5561. The leucine at codon 1854 is replaced by proline, an amino acid with similar properties. Protein functional assays have demonstrated that this alteration is non-functional (Findlay GM et al. Nature, 2018 10;562:217-222; Fernandes VC et al. J Biol Chem, 2019 04;294:5980-5992; Lee MS et al. Cancer Res., 2010 Jun;70:4880-90; Adamovich AI et al. Am J Hum Genet 2022 Apr;109(4):618-630). This alteration was also detected in 1/1664 individuals diagnosed with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Zhang Y et al. BMC Cancer, 2022 Aug;22:842).This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic.

Clinical Statement

"This variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (3 clinical laboratories) and as Likely pathogenic (3 clinical laboratories) and as Likely Pathogenic by ClinGen ENIGMA BRCA1 and BRCA2 Variant Curation Expert Panel, ClinGen expert panel."
