The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):āc.4262A>Gā(p.His1421Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000929 in 1,614,074 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 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]

This missense variant replaces histidine with arginine at codon 1421 of the BRCA1 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in three individuals affected with breast cancer and in a breast cancer case-control meta-analysis in 5/53456 unaffected individuals and absent in 60466 cases (PMID: 30400234, 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA1_001985). A multifactorial analysis has reported a family history likelihood ratio for pathogenicity from one pedigree as 0.2124 (PMID: 31131967). This variant has not been identified 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. -

The BRCA1 c.4262A>G (p.His1421Arg) missense change is absent in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). The in silico tool REVEL predicts a benign effect on protein function, but to our knowledge this prediction has not been confirmed by functional studies. This variant has been reported in at least one individual with breast cancer, as well as in control individuals without a personal history of breast cancer (PMID: 30400234, 33471991). It is absent in a database of women older than 70 years of age who have never had cancer (FLOSSIES, https://whi.color.com/). In summary, the evidence currently available is insufficient to determine the clinical significance of this variant. It has therefore been classified as of uncertain significance. -

The BRCA1 c.4262A>G; p.His1421Arg variant (rs80357079), to our knowledge, is not reported in the medical literature but is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 55157). This variant is absent from general population databases (Exome Variant Server, Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The histidine at codon 1421 is moderately conserved and computational analyses (SIFT, PolyPhen-2) predict that this variant is tolerated. Other amino acid substitutions at this codon (p.His1421Leu, p.His1421Tyr) have been reported in individuals with a personal or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer, although their clinical significance was not demonstrated (Akbari 2011, Vogel 2007). Given the lack of clinical and functional data, the significance of the p.His1421Arg variant is uncertain at this time. References: Akbari MR 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. -

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.4262A>G (p.His1421Arg) 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 was absent in 251434 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.4262A>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Breast cancer without strong evidence for causality (examples: Diaz-Zabala_2018 and Guindalini_2022). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 24845084, 30400234, 35264596, 31112341, 23704879, 28781887). Ten submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as either VUS (n=8) or likely benign (n=2). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
