Inter-BRCT linker is probably the most intolerant region of the BRCA1 BRCT domain.

Abstract excerpt

Pathogenic mutations in BRCA1 are associated with an increased risk of hereditary breast, ovarian, and some other cancers; however, the clinical significance of many mutations in this gene remains unknown (Variants of Unknown Significance/VUS). Since mutations in intolerant regions of a protein lead to dysfunction and pathogenicity, identifying these regions helps to predict the clinical importance of VUSs. This...
