The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.2710G>C(p.Glu904Gln) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts 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.E904Q variant (also known as c.2710G>C or 2829G>C) is located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene. This alteration results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 2710. The glutamic acid at codon 904 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the following databases: Database of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (dbSNP), NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP) and 1000 Genomes Project. Based on protein sequence alignment, this amino acid position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be possibly damaging by PolyPhen but tolerated by SIFT in silico analyses. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of p.E904Q remains unclear. -

In summary, this variant is a rare missense change with uncertain impact on protein function. It has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). This variant is not present in population databases (rs80357035, ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a BRCA1-related disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 141808). This sequence change replaces glutamic acid with glutamine at codon 904 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Glu904Gln). The glutamic acid residue is weakly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between glutamic acid and glutamine. -
