The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.3526G>A(p.Val1176Ile) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000137 in 1,461,794 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 13/21 in silico tools predict 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]

The p.V1176I variant (also known as c.3526G>A), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 3526. The valine at codon 1176 is replaced by isoleucine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration has been identified in multiple individuals diagnosed with breast and/or ovarian cancer (El Saghir NS et al. Oncologist, 2015 Apr;20:357-64; Farra C et al. Hered Cancer Clin Pract, 2019 Jan;17:4; Abdel-Razeq H et al. Front Oncol, 2022 Mar;12:673094; Azim HA et al. Oncol Ther, 2023 Dec;11:445-459). This amino acid position is 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 sequence change replaces valine with isoleucine at codon 1176 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Val1176Ile). The valine residue is moderately conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between valine and isoleucine. This variant is present in population databases (rs777796838, ExAC 0.002%). This variant has been reported in an individual with a personal or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 22713736). This variant is also known as c.3646T>A in the literature. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0". The isoleucine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, suggesting that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. These predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. 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. -

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. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 565640). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BRCA1-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs777796838, gnomAD 0.0009%). This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1176 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Val1176Ile). 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. -
