UniProtKB/SwissProt variant VAR

Variant information

Variant position:

888

The position of the amino-acid change on the UniProtKB canonical protein sequence.

Type of variant:

Unclassified

The variants are classified into three categories: Disease, Polymorphism and Unclassified.

Disease: Variants implicated in disease according to literature reports.
Polymorphism: Variants not reported to be implicated in disease.
Unclassified: Variants with uncertain implication in disease according to literature reports. Evidence against or in favor of a pathogenic role is limited and/or conflicting.

Residue change:

From Histidine (H) to Tyrosine (Y) at position 888 (H888Y, p.His888Tyr).

Indicates the amino acid change of the variant. The one-letter and three-letter codes for amino acids used in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot are those adopted by the commission on Biochemical Nomenclature of the IUPAC-IUB.

Physico-chemical properties:

Change from medium size and polar (H) to large size and aromatic (Y)

The physico-chemical property of the reference and variant residues and the change implicated.

BLOSUM score:

2

The score within a Blosum matrix for the corresponding wild-type to variant amino acid change. The log-odds score measures the logarithm for the ratio of the likelihood of two amino acids appearing by chance. The Blosum62 substitution matrix is used. This substitution matrix contains scores for all possible exchanges of one amino acid with another:

Lowest score: -4 (low probability of substitution).
Highest score: 11 (high probability of substitution).

Involvement in disease:

Breast cancer (BC) [MIM:114480]: A common malignancy originating from breast epithelial tissue. Breast neoplasms can be distinguished by their histologic pattern. Invasive ductal carcinoma is by far the most common type. Breast cancer is etiologically and genetically heterogeneous. Important genetic factors have been indicated by familial occurrence and bilateral involvement. Mutations at more than one locus can be involved in different families or even in the same case. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10323242, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11114888, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11301010, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12427738, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12442275, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12938098, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14722926, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15133502, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18285836, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21473589, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23867111, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28364669, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7545954, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7894491, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7894493, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7939630, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8554067, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8723683, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8776600, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9482581, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9609997, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9760198}. Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Mutations in BRCA1 are thought to be responsible for 45% of inherited breast cancer. Moreover, BRCA1 carriers have a 4-fold increased risk of colon cancer, whereas male carriers face a 3-fold increased risk of prostate cancer. Cells lacking BRCA1 show defects in DNA repair by homologous recombination.
