The BRCA1 p.Ser1841Arg variant was identified in the literature however the frequency of this variant in an affected population was not provided. The variant was identified in dbSNP (rs80357299) as “with likely pathogenic allele”, ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by BIC, SCRP and Women's College Hospital and likely pathogenic by Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research) and LOVD 3.0 (observed 1x). The variant was not identified in UMD-LSDB. The variant was not identified in the following control databases: the Exome Aggregation Consortium (August 8th 2016), or the Genome Aggregation Database (Feb 27, 2017). In vitro expression of the variant had a demonstrable effect on BRCA1 protein folding, binding and transactivational activity (Lee 2010). Additionally, the variant co-segregated with disease in a family; it was identified in a patient with ovarian cancer, and segregated in 3 family members, including one prostate cancer and two breast cancer cases (Zhang 2013). The p.Ser1841 residue is conserved across mammals and other organisms, and four out of five computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) suggest that the variant may impact the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to assume pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. 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 pathogenic role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1841 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Ser1841Arg). 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: 23522120, 32885271). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37681). Advanced modeling performed at Invitae incorporating data from internal and/or published experimental studies (PMID: 30209399) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt BRCA1 function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects BRCA1 function (PMID: 20516115, 30209399). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
