The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):āc.4073A>Gā(p.Glu1358Gly) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000248 in 1,613,552 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 12/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. E1358K) has been classified as Likely 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]

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.4073A>G (p.Glu1358Gly) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.1e-06 in 245614 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.4073A>G in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Five ClinVar submissions from clinical diagnostic laboratories (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

The p.E1358G variant (also known as c.4073A>G), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 4073. The glutamic acid at codon 1358 is replaced by glycine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This variant is denoted BRCA1 c.4073A>G at the cDNA level, p.Glu1358Gly (E1358G) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Glutamic Acid to a Glycine (GAG>GGG). Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA1 4192A>G. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. BRCA1 Glu1358Gly was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, suggesting it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Glutamic Acid and Glycine differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution. BRCA1 Glu1358Gly occurs at a position that is not conserved and is located in the SCD domain and within the BRCA2, ATM, CHK2 and CDK2 binding domains (Chen 1998, Narod 2004, Clark 2012). In silico analyses are inconsistent regarding the effect this variant may have on protein structure and function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether BRCA1 Glu1358Gly is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

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. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37562). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BRCA1-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs397507225, gnomAD 0.0009%). This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1358 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Glu1358Gly). -
