The ENST00000357654.9(BRCA1):c.2232T>C(p.Ala744Ala) variant causes a synonymous change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000688 in 1,614,094 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 1 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Benign (★★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. A744A) 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]

The p.Ala744Ala variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it does not alter an amino acid residue, is not located near a splice junction, and is also listed in the dbSNP database as coming from a "clinical source" (rs4986846) with a MAF score of 0.001, being identified in varying frequencies in various ethnic groups from the HapMap project. It was also reported in 2/111446 proband chromosomes of individuals from HBOC families, and classified as a polymorphism in the study by Myriad; although no control chromosomes were tested to establish the variant’s frequency in the general population (Judkins_2005, Miolo_2009). In addition, the variant was also identified in the UMD (x2), Exome Server and BOCs databases. In summary, based on the above information, the variant is classified as benign. -

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. -

Variant summary: The c.2232T>C variant affects a non-conserved nucleotide, resulting in synonymous amino acid change. 5/5 splice-site tools via Alamut predict that this variant does not affect normal splicing. This variant was found in 17/121360 control chromosomes from the large and broad populations of ExAC at a frequency of 0.0001401. The variant was predominantly found in African sub-cohort with an allele frequency of 0.00153 (16/10398 chromosomes) which significantly exceeds the maximal expected frequency of a pathogenic allele (0.0010005) in this gene indicating that the variant is a benign polymorphism found in African population. The variant has been classified as a benign/likely benign by multiple clinical laboratories. Taken together, this variant has been classified as Benign. -
