Genes affected
BRCA1 (HGNC:1100): (BRCA1 DNA repair associated) This gene encodes a 190 kD nuclear phosphoprotein that plays a role in maintaining genomic stability, and it also acts as a tumor suppressor. The BRCA1 gene contains 22 exons spanning about 110 kb of DNA. The encoded protein combines with other tumor suppressors, DNA damage sensors, and signal transducers to form a large multi-subunit protein complex known as the BRCA1-associated genome surveillance complex (BASC). This gene product associates with RNA polymerase II, and through the C-terminal domain, also interacts with histone deacetylase complexes. This protein thus plays a role in transcription, DNA repair of double-stranded breaks, and recombination. Mutations in this gene are responsible for approximately 40% of inherited breast cancers and more than 80% of inherited breast and ovarian cancers. Alternative splicing plays a role in modulating the subcellular localization and physiological function of this gene. Many alternatively spliced transcript variants, some of which are disease-associated mutations, have been described for this gene, but the full-length natures of only some of these variants has been described. A related pseudogene, which is also located on chromosome 17, has been identified. [provided by RefSeq, May 2020]

The BRCA1 c.4987-20A>G variant was identified in ClinVar (Benign, reviewed by expert panel. Classified as benign by: ENIGMA, Integrated Genetics, LMM Partners HealthCare, Baylor, EGL, ARUP Laboratories, Invitae, Counsyl, Color, Prevention Genetics, SCRP. Classified as likely benign by COGR, Fulgent. VUS by BIC). The variant was identified in dbSNP (rs80358035). The variant was identified in control databases in 226 of 282334 chromosomes (2 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.0008005, and was observed at the highest frequency in the African population in 209 of 24924 chromosomes (freq: 0.008385) (Genome Aggregation Database March 6, 2019, v2.1.1). The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence, and in silico or computational prediction software programs (Splice AI exome) do not predict a deleterious effect on splicing. In summary, based on the above information this variant meets our laboratory's criteria to be classified as benign. -
