Genes affected

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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -4 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.55).
• BP6: Variant 17-43071231-G-C is Benign according to our data. Variant chr17-43071231-G-C is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 420042.We mark this variant Likely_benign, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_benign=2, Uncertain_significance=1}.
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=0.023 with no splicing effect.

This variant is denoted BRCA1 c.4683C>G at the DNA level. This variant is silent at the coding level, preserving a Threonine at codon 1561. Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA1 4802C>G. It is not predicted to cause abnormal splicing; however, in the absence of RNA or functional studies, the actual effect of this variant is unknown. BRCA1 c.4683C>G was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The nucleotide which is altered, a cytosine (C) at base 4683, is conserved through mammals. Based on currently available information, it is unclear whether BRCA1 c.4683C>G is pathogenic or benign. 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. -
