The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):āc.3650C>Gā(p.Ser1217Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000274 in 1,461,872 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 14/21 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. S1217Y) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.
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.S1217C variant (also known as c.3650C>G), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 3650. The serine at codon 1217 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. One study detected this alteration in 1/134 Korean breast cancer patients as well as in 9/96 healthy controls (Jang JH et al. J. Hum. Genet., 2012 Mar;57:212-5). Additional studies have also reported this alteration in Korean breast cancer patients (Shin S et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat., 2016 08;158:433-40; Park JS et al. Cancer Res Treat, 2017 Oct;49:1012-1021; Park KS et al. Genet. Med., 2016 12;18:1250-1257). This amino acid position is 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 cysteine at codon 1217 of the BRCA1 protein. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may not impact protein structure and function. Splice site prediction tools suggest that this variant may not impact RNA splicing. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 22217648, 27383479, 27124784) and also in unaffected controls (PMID: 22217648). This variant has been identified in 3/251292 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.3650C>G at the cDNA level, p.Ser1217Cys (S1217C) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Serine to a Cysteine (TCT>TGT). Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA1 3769C>G. This variant has been observed in at least four Korean breast and/or ovarian cancer patients, but also in 9/96 unaffected Korean controls in one study (Jang 2012, Park 2016, Shin 2016, Park 2017). BRCA1 Ser1217Cys was not observed at a significant allele frequency in large population cohorts (NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, The 1000 Genomes Consortium 2015, Lek 2016). Since Serine and Cysteine differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution. BRCA1 Ser1217Cys occurs at a position that is not conserved and is not located in a known functional domain. 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 Ser1217Cys is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 1217 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Ser1217Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs398122676, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 22217648, 27124784, 27383479, 28111427, 35918668). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 91611). 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 with a negative predictive value of 95%. 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. -
