BACKGROUND Protein truncating variants in ATM, BRCA1, BRCA2, CHEK2 and PALB2 are associated with increased breast cancer risk, but risks associated with missense variants in these genes are uncertain. METHODS Combining 59,639 breast cancer cases and 53,165 controls, we sampled training (80%) and validation (20%) sets to analyze rare missense variants in ATM (1,146 training variants), BRCA1 (644), BRCA2 (1,425), CHEK2 (325) and PALB2 (472). We evaluated breast cancer risks according to five in-silico prediction-of-deleteriousness algorithms, functional protein domain, and frequency, using logistic regression models and also mixture models in which a subset of variants was assumed to be risk-associated. RESULTS The most predictive in-silico algorithms were Helix (BRCA1, BRCA2 and CHEK2) and CADD (ATM). Increased risks appeared restricted to functional protein domains for ATM (FAT and PIK domains) and BRCA1 (RING and BRCT domains). For ATM, BRCA1 and BRCA2, data were compatible with small subsets (approximately 7%, 2% and 0.6%, respectively) of rare missense variants giving similar risk to those of protein truncating variants in the same gene. For CHEK2, data were more consistent with a large fraction (approximately 60%) of rare missense variants giving a lower risk (OR 1.75, 95% CI (1.47-2.08)) than CHEK2 protein truncating variants. There was little evidence for an association with risk for missense variants in PALB2. The best fitting models were well calibrated in the validation set. CONCLUSIONS These results will inform risk prediction models and the selection of candidate variants for functional assays, and could contribute to the clinical reporting of gene panel testing for breast cancer susceptibility.
