Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 1 ACMG points: 2P and 1B. PM2BP4
The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.4427A>C(p.Lys1476Thr) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000657 in 152,178 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★).
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: The BRCA1 c.4427A>C (p.Lys1476Thr) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. 2/3 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant (SNPsandGO not captured due to low reliability index). The variant of interest has been found in a large, broad control population, ExAC in 1/121378 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000082, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic BRCA1 variant (0.0010005). Homology-directed repair (HDR) assays showed the variant does not affect HDR activity, though appropriate controls were not available for evaluation (Lu_BRCA_Nature Comms_2015). Because of the absence of clinical information and the lack of functional studies, the variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance (VUS). -

The c.4427A>C (p.K1476T) alteration is located in exon 13 (coding exon 12) of the BRCA1 gene. This alteration results from a A to C substitution at nucleotide position 4427, causing the lysine (K) at amino acid position 1476 to be replaced by a threonine (T). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

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. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect BRCA1 function (PMID: 26689913). 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) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt BRCA1 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 496384). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with prostate cancer (PMID: 26689913). This variant is present in population databases (rs750437234, gnomAD 0.0009%). This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1476 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Lys1476Thr). -
