The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.1243G>A(p.Val415Ile) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000254 in 1,614,036 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 13/21 in silico tools predict 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 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. -

This variant is denoted BRCA1 c.1243G>A at the cDNA level, p.Val415Ile (V415I) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Valine to an Isoleucine (GTT>ATT). Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA1 1362G>A. This variant has been observed in at least one individual with triple negative breast cancer (Muendlein 2015). BRCA1 Val415Ile was observed at an allele frequency of 0.03% (9/25,778) in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) ancestry in large population cohorts (Lek 2016). Since Valine and Isoleucine share similar properties, this is considered a conservative amino acid substitution. BRCA1 Val415Ile is located in a region known to interact with multiple proteins (Paul 2014). In-silico analyses, including protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, support that this variant does not alter protein structure or function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether BRCA1 Val415Ile is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.1243G>A (p.Val415Ile) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the BRCA1, serine-rich domain (IPR025994) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0001 in 298260 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in BRCA1 causing Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (0.0001 vs 0.001), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1243G>A has been reported in the literature as a VUS in settings of multigene panel testing of individuals affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (example, Muendien_2015, Chan_2018, Momozawa_2018, Wang_2019). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. A study reporting the outcomes of large scale multifactorial likelihood quantitative analysis of BRCA1 variants classifies this variant as IARC class 2 (Likely benign) (Parsons_2019) and has been recently cited by another study (Lyra_2021). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Eight clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Multiple laboratories reported the variant with conflicting assessments (likely benign, n=3; VUS, n=5). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
