Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points: 0P and 2B. BP4BP6
The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.612G>C(p.Leu204Phe) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00011 in 1,613,428 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). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. L204W) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

The BRCA1 c.612G>C (p.Leu204Phe) variant has been reported in the published literature in at least one individual at high risk of hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer in the published literature (PMIDs: 16267036 (2005) and 22505045 (2012)). Functional assays indicated that this variant does not affect normal mRNA splicing (PMIDs: 34663891 (2021), 22505045 (2012)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0001 (13/128864 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. 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. -
Observed in individuals with personal and/or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (Shattuck-Eidens et al. 1997; Judkins et al. 2005; Flaum et al., 2022); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Also known as 731G>C; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 9333265, 15235020, 21309043, 16267036, 22505045, 12427538, 15385441, 32123317, 20215511, 9788437, 34663891, 36169650) -

The p.L204F variant (also known as c.612G>C), located in coding exon 8 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 612. The leucine at codon 204 is replaced by phenylalanine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant was detected in a cohort of 277 women with a personal and/or family history of ovarian cancer (Flaum N et al. Genet Med, 2022 Dec;24:2578-2586). This variant was also detected in 1/798 individuals from a multi-center study of persons thought to be at elevated a priori risk for a BRCA1 mutation based on personal and/or family history (Shattuck-Eidens D et al. JAMA, 1997 Oct;278:1242-50). This amino acid position is 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 variant remains unclear. -

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.612G>C (p.Leu204Phe) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.9e-05 in 433124 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in BRCA1 causing Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (3.9e-05 vs 0.001), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.612G>C has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with breast cancer (e.g. Judkins_2005, Shattuck-Eidens_1997). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. At-least three instances of known co-occurrences with other pathogenic variant(s) have been reported in the UMD database (BRCA2 c.8904delC, p.Val2969CysfsX7; BRCA2 c.244A>T, p.Lys82*), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. At least two publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on splicing, however, does not allow convincing conclusions about the variant effect on protein function although it demonstrated no effect on splicing (Houdayer_2012, Wai_2020). Seven clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation (VUS, n=5; likely benign, n=2). Some submitters cite overlapping evidence utilized in the context of this evaluation but do not capture the pathogenic co-occurrences ascertained herein. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant retained its classification as likely benign. -
