Variant summary
Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM2
The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.4712T>C(p.Phe1571Ser) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000205 in 1,461,884 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. F1571I) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2
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. -
Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Uncertain:2
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. -
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. -
