Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -1 ACMG points: 0P and 1B. BP6
The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):āc.886A>Gā(p.Arg296Gly) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000496 in 1,614,094 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R296S) 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]

The p.R296G variant (also known as c.886A>G), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 886. The arginine at codon 296 is replaced by glycine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration was functional in a homology directed DNA repair (HDR) assay (Lu C et al. Nat Commun, 2015 Dec;6:10086). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This missense variant replaces arginine with glycine at codon 296 of the BRCA1 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). One study suggested this variant may not impact homology-directed repair (PMID: 26689913). This variant has been reported in an individual affected with kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (PMID: 26689913). This variant has been identified in 1/246014 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

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. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect BRCA1 function (PMID: 26689913). 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. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 431183). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with kidney renal cell carcinoma (PMID: 26689913). This variant is present in population databases (rs748675395, gnomAD 0.0009%). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 296 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Arg296Gly). -
