The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.1374C>A(p.Asp458Glu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,714 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). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. D458D) 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 variant is denoted BRCA1 c.1374C>A at the cDNA level, p.Asp458Glu (D458E) at the protein level, and results in the change of an Aspartic Acid to a Glutamic Acid (GAC>GAA). Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA1 1493C>A. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. BRCA1 Asp458Glu was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, suggesting it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Aspartic Acid and Glutamic Acid share similar properties, this is considered a conservative amino acid substitution. BRCA1 Asp458Glu occurs at a position that is conserved across species and is located in the DNA binding domain as well as a region known to interact with multiple other proteins (Narod 2004). In silico analyses are inconsistent regarding the effect this variant may have on protein structure and function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether BRCA1 Asp458Glu is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 458 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Asp458Glu). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 15146556). This variant is also known as c.1493C>G. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 245916). 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. 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. -
