The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):āc.4625C>Gā(p.Ser1542Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000246 in 1,461,816 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 13/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars).
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]

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.4625C>G (p.Ser1542Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00011 in 251472 control chromosomes (gnomAD and publication data). This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in BRCA1 causing Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (0.00011 vs 0.001), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.4625C>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with breast and ovarian cancers (Akilzhanova_2013, Arver_2001, Koul_2000, Lu_2012, Mucaki_2016, Shih_2000, Tanner_2000). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. Functional studies showed the variant to have proficient transcriptional activation (Woods_2016, Fernandes_2019) while another showed the variant to deregulate BRCA1-mediated double stranded break repair via ATM phosphorylation (Tram_2013). Seven ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as uncertain significance (n=5) and likely benign (n=2). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

The BRCA1 c.4625C>G; p.Ser1542Cys variant (rs41293457) is reported in the literature in individuals with breast cancer (Lu 2012, Shih 2000), and is reported in the ClinVar database (Variation ID: 55242). This variant is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.004% (9/251360 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The serine at codon 1542 is moderately conserved, but computational analyses (SIFT: Tolerated, PolyPhen-2: Possibly Damaging) predict conflicting effects of this variant on protein structure/function. S1542 is phosphorylated by ATM and may be involved in response to DNA double-strand breaks (Cortez 1999). However, functional characterization of the variant suggests this variant is likely not pathogenic (Woods 2016). Due to limited information, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain at this time. REFERENCES Cortez D et al.

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
