The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):āc.4129A>Gā(p.Ser1377Gly) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000263 in 152,184 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 (ā ā ). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. S1377S) has been classified as 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]

The p.S1377G variant (also known as c.4129A>G), located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA1 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 4129. The serine at codon 1377 is replaced by glycine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant was identified in a cohort of 3,579 African males diagnosed with prostate cancer who underwent multi-gene panel testing of 19 DNA repair and cancer predisposition genes (Matejcic M et al. JCO Precis Oncol, 2020 Jan;4:32-43). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This missense variant replaces serine with glycine at codon 1377 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 not been reported in individuals affected with BRCA1-related disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 1/31404 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. -

This variant is denoted BRCA1 c.4129A>G at the cDNA level, p.Ser1377Gly (S1377G) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Serine to a Glycine (AGC>GGC). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. BRCA1 Ser1377Gly was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. This variant is a non-conservative substitution in which a neutral polar amino acid is replaced with a neutral non-polar one, altering a position that is only moderately conserved throughout evolution and is not located in a known functional domain. In silico analyses predict this variant to have a benign effect on protein structure and function. Based on currently available information, it is unclear whether BRCA1 Ser1377Gly is pathogenic or benign. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1377 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Ser1377Gly). This variant is present in population databases (rs730881491, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BRCA1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 182159). 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. 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. -
