Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points: 3P and 0B. PM2PP3
The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.3889T>C(p.Ser1297Pro) variant causes a missense change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. S1297S) 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]

In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Observed in individuals with a personal and/or family history of breast cancer referred for genetic testing at GeneDx and in published literature (Meyer et al., 2003); however, these individuals also had another pathogenic BRCA1 variant; Also known as 4008T>C; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 31853058, 32377563, 29884841, 12938098, 15343273, 22737296) -

The p.S1297P variant (also known as c.3889T>C), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 3889. The serine at codon 1297 is replaced by proline, an amino acid with similar properties. In one study, this variant, designated as c.4008C>T, has been detected in a German breast cancer kindred in conjunction with a pathogenic BRCA1 mutation (Meyer P et al. Hum Mutat. 2003 Sep;22(3):259). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1297 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Ser1297Pro). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 12938098). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 479231). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt BRCA1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. 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. -
