The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.20G>A(p.Arg7His) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000558 in 1,613,318 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 15/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. R7R) 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]

Variant summary: The BRCA1 c.20G>A (p.Arg7His) variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. 3/4 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant (SNPsandGO not captured due to low reliability index). This variant was found in 1/120706 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000083, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic BRCA1 variant (0.0010005). The variant has been reported in at least one patient with HBOC without strong support for pathogenicity (Judkins_2005). A functional study (Starita_2015) reported the variant to be as proficient in homology-directed DNA repair as is the wild type BRCA1 indicating the variant to be in the neutral spectrum. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories have classified this variant as uncertain significance. Considering all evidence, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign. -

This variant is denoted BRCA1 c.20G>A at the cDNA level, p.Arg7His (R7H) at the protein level, and results in the change of an Arginine to a Histidine (CGC>CAC). Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA1 139G>A. This variant has been observed in at least one individual referred for BRCA1 testing (Judkins 2005). It was demonstrated to have E3 ligase activity and BARD1 interaction similar to wildtype and was able to rescue homology-directed repair in a cell line lacking endogenous BRCA1 (Starita 2015). BRCA1 Arg7His was not observed in large population cohorts (Lek 2016). This variant is located in the RING domain and a region known to interact with BRD7 (Harte 2010, Borg 2010, Paul 2014). In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports that this variant does not alter protein structure/function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether BRCA1 Arg7His is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

This alteration is classified as likely 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. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 7 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Arg7His). This variant is present in population databases (rs144792613, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BRCA1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 184875). Advanced modeling performed at Invitae incorporating data from internal and/or published experimental studies (PMID: 30209399) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt BRCA1 function with a negative predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect BRCA1 function (PMID: 25823446, 30209399). 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. -
