The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):āc.1270G>Cā(p.Gly424Arg) 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 1,461,820 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. 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]

This variant is denoted BRCA1 c.1270G>C at the cDNA level, p.Gly424Arg (G424R) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Glycine to an Arginine (GGT>CGT). Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA1 1389G>C. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. BRCA1 Gly424Arg was not observed in large population cohorts (Lek 2016). Since Glycine and Arginine differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution. BRCA1 Gly424Arg occurs at a position that is not conserved and is located in a region known to interact with multiple proteins (Paul 2014). Protein based in silico analyses are inconsistent regarding the effect this variant may have on protein structure and function, while splicing models predict that this variant may strengthen the cryptic splice acceptor site and possibly cause abnormal splicing. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether BRCA1 Gly424Arg is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

The BRCA1 c.1270G>C (p.Gly424Arg) variant has been reported in the published literature in an individual undergoing multigene panel testing for hereditary cancer (PMID: 31853058 (2020)), and described to be located in a region of the BRCA2 gene that is tolerant to missense sequence changes (PMID: 31911673 (2020)). This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

The p.G424R variant (also known as c.1270G>C), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 1270. The glycine at codon 424 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 424 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Gly424Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BRCA1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 418958). 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 with a negative predictive value of 95%. 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. -
