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. -
- -
Variant identified in a genome or exome case(s) and assessed due to predicted null impact of the variant or pathogenic assertions in the literature or databases. Disclaimer: This variant has not undergone full assessment. The following are preliminary notes: ExAC: 2/66738 European chromosomes; ClinVar: 3 labs B/LB, 1 lab VUS; at least 3 papers describe as non pathogenic -
Breast-ovarian cancer, familial, susceptibility to, 1 Uncertain:1Benign:6
This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. The evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was sufficient to determine this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -

Variant summary: The BRCA1 c.396C>A (p.Asn132Lys) variant (alternatively also known as 515C>A) involves the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide and is not located in a known functional domain, while 4/5 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. However, multiple functional studies demonstrated that this variant does not affect BRCA1 function (Towler_2013, Caligo_2009, Bouwman_2013, Maresca_2015, Thouvenot_2016). This variant was found in 2/121408 control chromosomes from ExAC at a frequency of 0.0000165, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic BRCA1 variant (0.0010005). This variant has been reported in several HBOC patients without clear evidence supporting causality. The variant of interest was found to co-occur with another pathogenic BRCA2 variant, c.4936_4939delGAAA (p.Glu1646fxX23 - classified as pathogenic by LCA) has been reported, supporting a benign outcome. Multifactorial probability based model integrating multiple forms of genetic evidence indicates that the variant is benign (Lindor_2012 and Easton_2007). In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases/publications classified this variant as benign/likely benign. Taken together, this variant is classified as benign. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Benign:2
This alteration is classified as 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. -

Malignant tumor of breast Benign:1
The p.Asn132Lys variant was identified in 1 of 552 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.002) from Italian families with breast and ovarian cancer; and, functional assay(s) utilizing yeast based systems were discrepant; the variant was suggested to be neutral as it mapped outside the C-terminus domain; however, it was categorized as potentially deleterious, based on a significant induction of recombination in a yeast – HR (homologous recombination) based assay (Caligo 2008). In another functional assay measuring cell proliferation as an indicator of ability of the variant to compliment BRCA1 deficient mouse embryonic stem cells, the p.Asn132Lys variant was assessed to be neutral (Bouwman 2013). A third functional assay using HDR (homology directed recombination) to assess the 2 pathways of DNA repair BRCA1 is involved in: (DSB-double strand DNA breaks, and SSA – single strand annealing) showed that the variant had wildtype function in both assays, making it nonpathogenic (Towler 2013). Further, in a predictive posterior probability model that uses several sources of information to classify VUS, the variant was concluded to be nonpathogenic (Lindor 2012). The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs80357413) “With other allele”, but no frequency information was provided, thus the prevalence of this variant in the general population could not be determined The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs80357413s) “With likely benign allele”, Clinvitae database (2X as “benign” and 1X as “likely benign”), Fanconi Anemia Mutation Database (LOVD), ARUP Laboratories BRCA Mutations Database (as no clinical significance), the ClinVar database (classified as “benign”), the BIC database (5X with unknown clinical importance), and UMD (4X with a “likely neutral” classification), Fanconi Anemia Mutation Database (LOVD) as likely neutral). The variant was also identified by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) database (released Jan 13, 2015) in 2 of 66738 (European (Non-Finnish)) alleles (frequency: 2.997E-05), 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 p.Asn132residue is not conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein; however, this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign. -
