Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -1 ACMG points: 0P and 1B. BP4
The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.1930T>A(p.Cys644Ser) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000547 in 1,461,778 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 1 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as Uncertain significancein ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. C644F) 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 missense variant replaces cysteine with serine at codon 644 of the BRCA1 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). Splice site prediction tools suggest that this variant may not impact RNA splicing. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 19656164, 28111427). This variant has also been identified in 1/250856 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. -

The p.C644S variant (also known as c.1930T>A), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a T to A substitution at nucleotide position 1930. The cysteine at codon 644 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration has been reported in 1/206 breast cancer cases and 0/171 controls in a Korean study (Seong MW et al. Clin. Genet., 2009 Aug;76:152-60) as well as in 3/7051 unselected breast cancer patients and 3/11241 controls in a Japanese study (Momozawa Y et al. Nat Commun, 2018 Oct;9:4083). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 644 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Cys644Ser). 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: 409347). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with personal and/or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 19656164, 28111427, 30287823). This variant is present in population databases (rs753521391, gnomAD 0.006%). -
