Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points: 4P and 1B. PM2PM5BP6
The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.2579C>T(p.Thr860Ile) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. 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. T860L) 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]

Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing
This missense variant replaces threonine with isoleucine at codon 860 of the BRCA1 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with BRCA1-related disorders 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. -

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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with BRCA1-related disease. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces threonine with isoleucine at codon 860 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Thr860Ile). The threonine residue is moderately conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between threonine and isoleucine. -
