This rare variant (gnomAD) was found multiple times in databases to be classified as uncertain or likely benign. Interestingly we found this variant in a patient who harbored also a pathogenic BRCA2-variant (NM_000059.3 c.1813dupA het). Therefore we rate this variant as likely benign. -

Variant summary:The BRCA1 c.1065G>A (p.Lys355Lys) variant causes a synonymous change involving a non-conserved nucleotide with 5/5 splicing algorithms predict no significant effect on splice donor and acceptor sites, which is consistent with an in vitro study (Anczukow et al 2008) showing that the variant did not affect splicing based on a mini-gene assay. This variant was found in 23/121396 control chromosomes, predominantly observed in the European (Non-Finnish) subpopulation at a frequency of 0.0003297 (22/66736). This frequency is lower than the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic BRCA1 variant (0.0010005), but suggests that it may be a rare polymorphism. In at least two reported patients (1 published and 1 unpublished finding from UMD), this variant co-occurred with another deleterious variant in BRCA1, strongly supporting a benign outcome. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as benign. Taken together, all evidence supports a non-pathogenic nature for the variant, and the variant was classified as benign. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Benign:4
- -
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. -

BS1, BP1_Strong c.1065G>A, located outside any (potentially) clinically important functional domain of BRCA1, is predicted to result in no splicing alteration (according to SpliceAI) and no amino acid change, p.(Lys355=) (BP1_Strong). The variant allele was found in 30/117908 alleles, with a filter allele frequency of 0.016% at 99% confidence, within the European (non-Finnish) population in the gnomAD v2.1.1 database (non-cancer data set) (BS1).In addition, the variant has demonstrated to have no impact on splicing (PMID: 18273839). This variant has been reported in the ClinVar database (8x benign, 12x likely benign), in the LOVD database (5x benign, 6x likely benign, 34x uncertain significance,) and in the BRCA Exchange database as a likely benign variant (Synonymous substitution variant, with low bioinformatic likelihood to result in a splicing aberration (Splicing prior probability 0.02; http://priors.hci.utah.edu/PRIORS/). Based on currently available information, the variant c.1065G>A should be considered a benign variant. -
not specified Benign:2
- -
This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -

The p.Lys355Lys variant was identified in 2 of 4244 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.000) from individuals or families with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (Borg 2010, Ricevuto 2001). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs41286292) “With other allele”, with a minor allele frequency of 0.0002 (1000 Genomes Project), Exome Variant Server project in 1 of 8599 European American alleles, the ClinVar database 4X (classified as benign (BIC and GeneDx), likely benign (Counsyl) and uncertain significance (Invitae)), GeneInsight VariantWire database (2X, classified as “predicted unlikely impact” by a clinical laboratory), the BIC database (2X with no clinical importance), and UMD (17X as an unknown variant). In UMD the variant was identified with a co-occurring pathogenic BRCA1 variant (p.Val939LeufsX61), increasing the likelihood that the p.Lys355Lys variant does not have clinical significance. The variant was also identified by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) database (released Oct 20th, 2014) in 22 of 66736 chromosomes (frequency: 0.0003297) from a population of European (Non-Finnish) individuals, although this low number of observations and low frequency is not substantive enough to determine the prevalence of the variant in the general population and its relationship to disease. The variant was also identified by our laboratory in 2 individuals with breast cancer. The p.Lys355Lys variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it does not result in a change of amino acid and is not located in a known consensus splice site. In addition, in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratory's criteria to be classified as benign. -
