Abstract | Pathogenic mutation in BRCA1 gene is one of the most penetrant genetic predispositions towards cancer. Identification of the mutation provides important aspect in prevention and treatment of the mutation- caused cancer. Of the large quantity of genetic variants identified in human BRCA1, substantial portion is classified as Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS) or unclassified variants due to the lack of func- tional evidence. In this study, we focused on the VUS and unclassified variants in BRCT repeat located at BRCA1 C-terminal. Utilizing the well-determined structure of BRCT repeats, we measured the influence of the variants on the structural conformations of BRCT repeats by using molecular dynamics simulation (MDS) consisting of RMSD (Root-mean-square-deviation), RMSF (Root-mean-square-fluctuations), Rg (Radius of gyration), SASA (Solvent accessible surface area), NH bond (hydrogen bond) and Covariance analysis. Using this approach, we analyzed 131 variants consisting of 89 VUS (Variant of Uncertain Significance) and 42 unclassified variants (unclassifiable by current methods) within BRCT repeats and were able to differentiate them into 78 Deleterious and 53 Tolerated variants. Comparing the results made by the saturation genome editing assay, multiple experimental assays, and BRCA1 reference data- bases shows that our approach provides high specificity, sensitivity and robust. Our study opens an ave- nue to classify VUS and unclassified variants in many cancer predisposition genes with known protein structure. |
