The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):​c.2813C>T​(p.Pro938Leu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,836 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 12/21 in silico tools predict 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. P938?) has been classified as Pathogenic.

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 Uncertain_significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr17-43092717-TGG-TC is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.16494653).

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1 Benign:1

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Mar 13, 2024	The p.P938L variant (also known as c.2813C>T), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2813. The proline at codon 938 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This variant is denoted BRCA1 c.2813C>T at the cDNA level, p.Pro938Leu (P938L) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Proline to a Leucine (CCA>CTA). Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA1 2932C>T. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. BRCA1 Pro938Leu 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. Since Proline and Leucine differ in some properties, this is considered a semi-conservative amino acid substitution. BRCA1 Pro938Leu occurs at a position that is not conserved and is located in the DNA binding domain and the region of interaction with BASC and RAD51 (Chen 1998, Narod 2004). In silico analyses predict that this variant is unlikely to alter protein structure or function. Based on currently available information, it is unclear whether BRCA1 Pro938Leu is pathogenic or benign. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

In summary, this variant is a novel missense change that is not predicted to affect protein function. There is no indication that it causes disease, but the available evidence is currently insufficient to prove that conclusively. 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 output the following: SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0". The leucine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, suggesting that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. These predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a BRCA1-related disease. This sequence change replaces proline with leucine at codon 938 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Pro938Leu). The proline residue is moderately conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between proline and leucine. -
