The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.4520G>C(p.Arg1507Thr) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000384 in 1,613,966 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 Benign (★★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. R1507R) has been classified as Likely benign.
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]

a point mutation in the BRCA1 gene (c.4583G>C) which results in the substitution of threonine for arginine at position 1528. This mutation is considered as a variant of unknown significance. Further genetic testing might be considered. -

This variant is denoted BRCA1 c.4520G>C at the cDNA level, p.Arg1507Thr (R1507T) at the protein level, and results in the change of an Arginine to a Threonine (AGG>ACG). Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA1 4639G>C. This variant was observed in 1/572 individuals with atherosclerosis, with no specific information about cancer history (Johnston 2012). BRCA1 Arg1507Thr was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, suggesting it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Arginine and Threonine differ in some properties, this is considered a semi-conservative amino acid substitution. BRCA1 Arg1507Thr occurs at a position that is not conserved and is located in a region known for interaction with multiple proteins (Narod 2004, Clark 2012). In silico analyses are inconsistent regarding the effect this variant may have on protein structure and function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether BRCA1 Arg1507Thr is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

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. -

This missense variant replaces arginine with threonine at codon 1507 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). Functional studies have reported that this variant does not impact BRCA1 function in a transcription activation assay and a murine homology-mediated repair assay (PMID: 28781187, 32546644). This variant has been reported in individuals and families affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer and in unaffected individuals (PMID: 16267036, 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA1_001353; Color internal data) and prostate cancer (PMID: 29368341; Color internal data). A multifactorial analysis has reported likelihood ratios for pathogenicity of 0.21, 1.1391 and 0.0906 based on tumor pathology, co-occurrence and family history, respectively (PMID: 31131967). This variant has been identified in 7/251338 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Although the available evidence indicates that this variant may not be associated with disease, additional studies are necessary to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.4520G>C (p.Arg1507Thr) 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 2.8e-05 in 251338 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.4520G>C has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with prostate cancer (IsaacssonVelho_2018) and in at least one individual undergoing genetic testing for Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (Judkins_2005). The variant was also reported in an individual from a cohort selected for atherosclerosis phenotypes (Johnston_2012). These reports do not provide strong evidence for causality and thus do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. Several publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. No damaging effects for the variant were observed on transcriptional activity as measured in assays using yeast cells (Woods_2016, Fernandes_2019). Four clinical diagnostic laboratories and one expert panel have submitted clinical significance assesments for this variant to ClinVar (evaluation after 2014) and cite the variant as uncertain significance (n=4) and benign (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign. -
