The ENST00000357654.9(BRCA1):c.4265G>A(p.Gly1422Glu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000743 in 1,613,988 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 14/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. 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. G1422R) has been classified 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]

This missense variant replaces glycine with glutamic acid at codon 1422 of the BRCA1 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in two individuals affected with ovarian cancer (PMID: 26689913, 31265121) and in a suspected hereditary breast and ovarian cancer family (PMID: 21232165). However, a multifactorial analysis also has reported a likelihood ratio (LR) for pathogenicity based on personal and family history with log(LR) = -0.3876413405, suggesting that this variant is not disease-causing (PMID: 31853058). This variant has been identified in 1/251442 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. -

Published functional studies demonstrate homology-directed repair activity similar to wild type (Lu et al., 2015); Identified in an individual with ovarian cancer as well as an individual from a family with breast/ovarian cancer (Lu et al., 2015; Stegel et al., 2011); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Also known as 4384G>A; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 21232165, 33503190, 19369211, 15343273, 22737296, 32377563, 26689913, 29884841) -

The p.G1422E variant (also known as c.4265G>A), located in coding exon 11 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 4265. The glycine at codon 1422 is replaced by glutamic acid, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been reported in 1/208 alleles of Slovenian individuals from cancer families with breast and/or ovarian cancer, and was not seen in any of the 80 control alleles (Stegel V et al. BMC Med. Genet. 2011 Jan;12:9). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis.Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 1422 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Gly1422Glu). This variant is present in population databases (rs747364414, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer and ovarian cancer (PMID: 21232165, 26689913). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 462642). 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 with a negative predictive value of 95%. 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. -
