The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):āc.4127C>Gā(p.Thr1376Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000143 in 1,612,798 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 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]

Published functional studies demonstrate homologous directed repair activity comparable to wild type (Lu et al., 2015); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Observed in a pediatric cancer patient (Sylvester et al., 2022); Also known as 4246C>G and 3986C>G; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 10923033, 15385441, 16267036, 23704879, 26295337, 31131967, 28726806, 29884841, 32377563, 26689913, 34687117, 15343273, 22737296) -

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. -

This missense variant replaces threonine with arginine at codon 1376 of the BRCA1 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). A functional study has reported that this variant does not impact BRCA1 function in a homology-directed repair assay (PMID: 26689913). This variant has been reported in individuals who underwent BRCA genetic testing (PMID: 16267036) and in the BIC database (PMID: 15385441). This variant has been identified in 6/274930 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. -

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.4127C>G (p.Thr1376Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2e-05 in 249098 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.4127C>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with cancer (example, Sylvester_2022, Judkins_2005, Lu_2015). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. Co-occurrence with another pathogenic variant has been reported (BRCA2 c.3296C>G, p.Ser1099X; internal sample), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. One publication reports experimental evidence indicating that the variant does not have a significant effect on homology-directed repair (HDR; Lu_2015). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 30765603, 16267036, 26689913, 15385441, 34687117, 23704879). Six submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Multiple submitters reported the variant with conflicting assessments (VUS, n=4; Likely benign, n=2). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign. -

The BRCA1 p.Thr1376Arg variant was identified in the literature in computational and functional studies (Lu 2015). The variant was also identified by our laboratory in 1 affected individual with breast cancer. Myriad classifies this variant as a polymorphism (personal communication). The variant is listed in the dbSNP database (ID#:rs80356986), but no frequency information was provided. This variant was identified in the Exome Aggregation Consortium database (March 14, 2016) in 2 of 102020 chromosomes (freq. 1.96x10-5) in the following populations: European (Non-Finnish) in 2 of 55610 chromosomes (freq. 3.6x10-5), but was not seen in African, East Asian, Finnish, Latino, South Asian or Other populations; this low number of observations and low frequency is not substantive enough to determine the prevalence of the variant in the general population and its relationship to disease. The variant was identified in the ClinVar database with conflicting interpretations (as variant of uncertain significance by Invitae, Ambry Genetics and BIC and as likely benign by sharing Clinical Reports Projects); GeneInsight COGR database (by 3 clinical laboratories Ć¢ā¬Å”ĆāĆĀ¬ 2 classified it as uncertain significance and 1 as unclassified); the BIC database (2x with unknown clinical importance), and in UMD (1x with a unclassified variant). The p.Thr1376 residue is conserved in mammals, and four out of five computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) suggest that the Arginine variant may impact the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to assume pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -
