Genes affected
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.Ala744Ala variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it does not alter an amino acid residue, is not located near a splice junction, and is also listed in the dbSNP database as coming from a "clinical source" (rs4986846) with a MAF score of 0.001, being identified in varying frequencies in various ethnic groups from the HapMap project. It was also reported in 2/111446 proband chromosomes of individuals from HBOC families, and classified as a polymorphism in the study by Myriad; although no control chromosomes were tested to establish the variant’s frequency in the general population (Judkins_2005, Miolo_2009). In addition, the variant was also identified in the UMD (x2), Exome Server and BOCs databases. In summary, based on the above information, the variant is classified as benign.

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: The c.2232T>C variant affects a non-conserved nucleotide, resulting in synonymous amino acid change. 5/5 splice-site tools via Alamut predict that this variant does not affect normal splicing. This variant was found in 17/121360 control chromosomes from the large and broad populations of ExAC at a frequency of 0.0001401. The variant was predominantly found in African sub-cohort with an allele frequency of 0.00153 (16/10398 chromosomes) which significantly exceeds the maximal expected frequency of a pathogenic allele (0.0010005) in this gene indicating that the variant is a benign polymorphism found in African population. The variant has been classified as a benign/likely benign by multiple clinical laboratories. Taken together, this variant has been classified as Benign.
