The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):āc.1534C>Gā(p.Leu512Val) 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 1,461,684 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic 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 BRCA1 c.1534C>G; p.Leu512Val variant (rs41286294) is reported in the literature in a cohort of individuals affected with cancer, though it was not demonstrated to be disease-causing (Lu 2015). This variant is found on a single chromosome in the Genome Aggregation Database (1/250832 alleles), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The leucine at codon 512 is highly conserved, and computational analyses (SIFT, PolyPhen-2) predict that this variant is deleterious. However, in an assay of homology-directed repair function, the p.Leu512Val variant exhibited activity comparable to wildtype BRCA1 (Lu 2015). Due to limited information, the clinical significance of the p.Leu512Val variant is uncertain at this time. References: Lu C et al.

The p.L512V variant (also known as c.1534C>G), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 1534. The leucine at codon 512 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. In a study of whole-exome sequencing in patients with features of Cowden syndrome (CS) or Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome (BRRS) and negative PTEN testing, this alteration was identified in 0/87 patients with CS or BRRS and 1/3476 patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) (Yehia L et al. PLoS Genet, 2018 04;14:e1007352). This alteration has been reported in a breast cancer patient from a cohort of 4034 cancer cases from The Cancer Genome Atlas, and was functional in a homology directed DNA repair (HDR) assay (Lu C et al. Nat Commun, 2015 Dec;6:10086). In one study, this exonic missense variant was predicted not to effect splicing using mini gene splicing assay (Anczuków O et al. Genes Chromosomes Cancer, 2008 May;47:418-26). This amino acid position is highly 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. -

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.1534C>G (p.Leu512Val) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 250832 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1534C>G has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with breast cancer (Lu_2015), but was also found in controls (Dorling_2021). One of these publications also reported experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, and demonstrated no detrimental effect for this variant in a homology-directed repair (HDR) assay (Lu_2015). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 26689913, 33471991). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 141741). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign. -
