Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points: 3P and 0B. PVS1_SupportingPM2
The NM_001407959.1(BRCA1):c.1A>G(p.Met1?) variant causes a start lost change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,764 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 Uncertain significance (★★).
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]
Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points.
PVS1
Start lost variant, no pathogenic variants between lost start and next in-frame start position. Next in-frame start position is after 170 codons. Genomic position: 43094642. Lost 0.097 part of the original CDS.

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing
The p.M128V variant (also known as c.382A>G), located in coding exon 5 of the BRCA1 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 382. The methionine at codon 128 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. 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. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing
This missense variant replaces methionine with valine at codon 128 of the BRCA1 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and functio. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with breast or ovarian cancer (PMID: 31907386). This variant has not been identified 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. -

Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing
This missense variant replaces methionine with valine at codon 128 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). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has not been identified 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. -

This sequence change replaces methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 128 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Met128Val). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 31907386). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 219502). 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 with a negative predictive value of 95%. 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. -
