Variant summary
Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -10 ACMG points: 0P and 10B. BP4_ModerateBP6_Very_Strong
The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.3724A>G(p.Thr1242Ala) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000821 in 1,461,876 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 Benign (★★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. T1242S) has been classified as Likely benign.

The p.T1242A variant (also known as c.3724A>G), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 3724. The threonine at codon 1242 is replaced by alanine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been detected in 1/2575 unselected patients with breast cancer and 0/2809 healthy control individuals from a Malaysian cohort (Wen WX et al. J. Med. Genet. 2018 02;55:97-103). This alteration was classified as benign in a multifactorial model of variant interpretation that incorporates co-segregation, family history, co-occurrence, tumor pathology, and case-control data (Parsons MT. et al. Hum Mutat. 2019 09;40(9):1557-1578). 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 variant remains unclear. -

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.3724A>G (p.Thr1242Ala) 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 allele was found at a frequency of 7.4e-06 in 1614204 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in BRCA1 causing Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (7.4e-06 vs 0.001), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.3724A>G has been reported in the literature in at least an individual affected with breast cancer without any strong evidence for causality (example: Xiong Wen_2018). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. A multifactorial likelihood analysis and a functional study have classified the variant as benign (example: Lyra_2020, Parson_2019). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 31294896, 16267036, 33087888, 31112341, 23704879, 28993434, 31131967). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 54982). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign. -
