The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.3596C>T(p.Ala1199Val) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000173 in 1,613,958 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. A1199P) 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]

This variant is denoted BRCA1 c.3596C>T at the cDNA level, p.Ala1199Val (A1199V) at the protein level, and results in the change of an Alanine to a Valine (GCT>GTT). Using alternate nomenclature, this variant has been previously published as BRCA1 3715C>T. This variant has been identified in at least one breast cancer case, but has also been detected in unaffected individuals (Suter 2004, Carney 2010). BRCA1 Ala1199Val was observed at an allele frequency of 0.1% (19/18,798) in individuals of East Asian ancestry in large population cohorts (Lek 2016). Since Alanine and Valine share similar properties, this is considered a conservative amino acid substitution. BRCA1 Ala1199Val is not located in a known functional domain. In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether BRCA1 Ala1199Val is pathogenic or benign. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

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. -

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.3596C>T (p.Ala1199Val) 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 8e-05 in 251572 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00098 within the East Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in BRCA1 causing Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (8e-05 vs 0.001), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.3596C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Breast and/or Ovarian Cancer (example, Carney_2010, Suter_2004, Luo_2022). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function (example, Bouwman_2020). These results showed no damaging effect of this variant on homologous recombination DNA repair (HRR). These results showed no damaging effect of this variant. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 14973102, 21218378, 32546644, 35300142). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142428). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
