The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.4166G>A(p.Ser1389Asn) 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 1,611,696 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 Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. S1389R) has been classified as Pathogenic.
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]

The p.S1389N variant (also known as c.4166G>A), located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 4166. The serine at codon 1389 is replaced by asparagine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals of Asian descent diagnosed with breast or prostate cancer (Haitian Z et al. Breast. 2008 Dec;17:563-7; Hansen TV et al. Fam. Cancer. 2011 Jun;10:207-12; Ahmad J et al. Clin. Genet. 2012 Dec;82:594-8; Zhong X et al. PLoS ONE. 2016 Jun;11:e0156789; Zhang Y et al. BMC Cancer, 2022 Aug;22:842; Tang T et al. Front Oncol, 2022 Jun;12:826778). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.4166G>A (p.Ser1389Asn) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2e-05 in 251898 control chromosomes (gnomAD and publications). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.4166G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with breast cancer, ovarian cancer or colorectal cancer without strong evidence for causality (examples-Haitian_2008, Hansen_2011, Ahmad_2012, Akmal_2009, Zhong_2016, Li_2018, Toh_2018). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Seven ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as uncertain significance (4x), likely benign (2x) and benign (1x). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance -

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. -

The BRCA1 c.4166G>A (p.Ser1389Asn) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with breast cancer (PMID: 27257965 (2016), 22486713 (2012), 21318380 (2011), 18835712 (2008)), breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 30702160 (2019)), and colorectal cancer (PMID: 31360874 (2018)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00022 (4/18324 chromosomes in East Asian subpopulation (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is higher than would generally be expected for pathogenic variants in this gene. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is benign or damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -
