Genes affected
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.H239R variant (also known as c.716A>G), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 716. The histidine at codon 239 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration was reported in one German female with early-onset breast cancer and a family history of early-onset breast cancer; however, her other affected relatives were found to carry a BRCA1 pathogenic mutation (Dong J et al. Hum. Genet. 1998 Aug;103:154-61). This alteration was also reported in 1/989 German breast cancer or breast/ovarian cancer families undergoing BRCA1 gene testing (Meindl A et al. Int. J. Cancer. 2002 Feb;97:472-80). This variant was not detected among a German control cohort of 95 females and 25 males aged over 60 years without a family history of BRCA-associated cancers (Arnold N et al. J. Chromatogr. B Analyt. Technol. Biomed. Lif. 2002 Dec;782:99-104). This amino acid position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.716A>G (p.His239Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 250078 control chromosomes (gnomAD and Arnold_2002). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.716A>G has been reported in the literature in affected individuals from families suspected of Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome without strong evidence (i.e. cosegregation data) for pathogenicity (e.g. Meindl_2002, Judkins_2005), including one case where another BRCA1 variant was identified in the other affected family members (Dong_1998). Thus, these reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function (Bouwman_2020). These results showed no damaging effect of this variant on ability to complement BRCA1-deficient mouse embryonic stem cells in homologous recombination DNA repair (HRR) using cisplatin and olaparib sensitivity assays and a direct GFP HRR assay. Additionally, assessment by multifactorial likelihood analysis which incorporates research and clinical data, classified the variant as benign (Parsons_2019). Six submitters, including the expert panel ENIGMA, have provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 with conflicting assessments: benign (n=2)/likely benign (n=1), VUS (n=3). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
