Likely Pathogenic for BRCA1-related cancer predisposition. Applied ACMG criteria (verbatim):

PM2_Supporting PS3 PP3

Curation rationale (ClinGen, verbatim)

The c.5257A>G variant in BRCA1 is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of Arg by Gly at amino acid 1753 (p.(Arg1753Gly)). Reported by two calibrated studies to affect protein function similar to pathogenic control variants (PMIDs:30209399, 38709234) (PS3 met). This BRCA1 missense variant is within a key functional domain and the computational predictor BayesDel (noAF) gives a score of 0.36, above the recommended threshold of 0.28 for prediction of impact on BRCA1 function via protein change. A SpliceAI score of 0.0 predicts no impact on splicing (score threshold ≤0.1) (PP3 met). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 (exomes only, non-cancer subset, read depth ≥25) and gnomAD v3.1 (non-cancer subset, read depth ≥25) (PM2_Supporting met). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as a Likely pathogenic variant for BRCA1-related cancer predisposition based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied as specified by the ENIGMA BRCA1/2 VCEP (PS3, PP3, PM2_supporting).
