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]

Published functional studies demonstrate transcriptional activity comparable to wild type (Woods 2016); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Also known as 4831T>C; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 10220405, 11301010, 9974970, 10923033, 28781887) -

The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000004 (1/251268 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is uninformative in assessment of its pathogenicity. In the published literature, the variant has been reported in a large breast cancer association study in one individual with breast cancer (PMID: 33471991 (2021), https://databases.lovd.nl/shared/variants/BRCA1). Additionally, a functional study yielded inconclusive results regarding the effect of this variant on BRCA1 protein function (PMID: 28781887 (2016)). Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.F1571S variant (also known as c.4712T>C), located in coding exon 14 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 4712. The phenylalanine at codon 1571 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This variant had 50.88% of wildtype activity in a transcription activation assay (Woods NT et al. NPJ Genom Med, 2016 Mar;1). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This missense variant replaces phenylalanine with serine at codon 1571 of the BRCA1 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). A functional study has shown this variant results in a moderate decrease in transcriptional activity compared to wild type (PMID: 28781887). In a large breast cancer case-control study, this variant has been observed in 1/60466 cases and 0/53461 controls (PMID: 33471991). This variant has been identified in 1/251268 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

This sequence change replaces phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1571 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Phe1571Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs273901740, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of BRCA1-related conditions (PMID: 10923033). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 55268). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on BRCA1 protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

The missense variant NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.4712T>C (p.Phe1571Ser) has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. The p.Phe1571Ser variant is observed in 1/113,586 (0.0009%) alleles from individuals of gnomAD Non Finnish European background in gnomAD. The p.Phe1571Ser variant is novel (not in any individuals) in 1kG. There is a large physicochemical difference between phenylalanine and serine, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. The gene BRCA1 has a low rate of benign missense variation as indicated by a high missense variants Z-Score of 2.32. The gene BRCA1 contains 248 pathogenic missense variants, indicating that missense variants are a common mechanism of disease in this gene. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Uncertain Significance. -
