The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.4169A>G(p.Asp1390Gly) 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 152,204 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.4169A>G (p.Asp1390Gly) variant causes a missense change involving a non-conserved nucleotide with 2/4 in silico tools (SNPs&Go not captured here due to low reliability index) predict a benign outcome, although these predictions have yet to be functionally assessed. The variant of interest has not been observed in controls (ExAC, 1000 Gs, or ESP), nor has it been, to our knowledge reported in affected individuals via publications and/or reputable clinical diagnostic laboratories/databases. An internal LCA sample reports the variant to co-occur with a likely pathogenic BRCA2 variant, c.718_719delCT (p.L240fsX4 - classified as likely pathogenic). Because of the absence of clinical information and the lack of functional studies, the variant has been classified as a "Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)," until additional information becomes available. -

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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C15". The glycine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, suggesting that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. These predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. This variant has been observed in an individual with breast cancer (Invitae). However, in that individual, a pathogenic allele was also identified in BRCA2, which suggests that this c.4169A>G variant was not the primary cause of disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 496377). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces aspartic acid with glycine at codon 1390 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Asp1390Gly). The aspartic acid residue is moderately conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between aspartic acid and glycine. -
