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]

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases allowed determination this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -

The p.Arg841Trp variant has been previously reported in 16/8958 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.002) in individuals with breast or ovarian cancer, however, no controls were included in these studies (Barker 1996, Borg 2010, Diez 2003, Janezic 1999, Pal 2004, Shattuck-Eidens 1997). The variant was also listed in the dbSNP database as having an average heterozygosity of 0.006+/-0.056 (ID#:rs1800709), increasing the likelihood this variant does not have clinical significance. The p.Arg841 residue is not conserved in mammals or lower organisms; however, computational analyses (SIFT, AlignGVGD) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein and this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. There are also numerous studies in the literature which have attempted to classify this variant using different modeling appoaches but the effect of this variant on protein function remains undetermined (Burk Herrick 2006, Chenevix-Trench 2006, Goldgar 2004, Fleming 2003, Lindor 2011, Petersen 1998). Notably, this variant was reported in the UMD database, 54 times and in 6 individuals with a second pathogenic variant in either the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes, increasing the likelihood the p.Arg841Trp variant is benign. It is also reported 114 times in the BIC database with unknown clinical consequence, although this high frequency might suggest it is a common benign polymorphism. Finally, this variant was reported by Myriad as a common polymorphism. In summary, based on the above information, this variant is classified as benign. -

This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -

This alteration is classified as 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. -
