A BRCA1 coiled-coil domain variant disrupting PALB2 interaction promotes the development of mammary tumors and confers a targetable defect in homologous recombination repair
[Paper-level Aggregated] PMCID: PMC7612117
Evidence Type(s): Oncogenic, Functional, Predisposing
Justification: Oncogenic: The evidence indicates that the BRCA1 p.L1363P variant disrupts the interaction with PALB2, leads to embryonic lethality, and accelerates the development of Trp53-deficient mammary tumors, suggesting its role in cancer development. Functional: The study demonstrates that Brca1 p.L1363P impairs homologous recombination repair (HRR) and affects BRCA1-PALB2 interaction, indicating a functional defect associated with this variant. Predisposing: The findings suggest that the BRCA1 p.L1363P variant increases the risk of developing breast cancer, as it leads to tumor formation in a mouse model.
