Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -1 ACMG points: 0P and 1B. BP4
The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.1309C>T(p.His437Tyr) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000547 in 1,461,804 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. H437Q) has been classified as Likely benign.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2Benign:1
The p.H437Y variant (also known as c.1309C>T), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1309. The histidine at codon 437 is replaced by tyrosine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

not provided Uncertain:1
The BRCA1 c.1309C>T; p.His437Tyr variant (rs759878392) is reported in the literature in an individuals affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer, although its clinical significance was not certain (Bahsi 2020). This variant is also reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 491029). This variant is only observed on one allele in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The histidine at codon 437 is moderately conserved, and computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.536). Due to limited information, the clinical significance of the p.His437Tyr variant is uncertain at this time. References: Bahsi T and Erdem HB.

Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Uncertain:1
This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 437 of the BRCA1 protein (p.His437Tyr). This variant is present in population databases (rs759878392, gnomAD 0.0009%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BRCA1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 491029). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt BRCA1 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. 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. -
