Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points: 4P and 1B. PM1PM2BP4
The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.4414C>T(p.Leu1472Phe) 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 1,461,446 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 14/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. L1472L) 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]
Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points.
PM1
?
PM1 - Located in a mutational hot spot and/or critical and well-established functional domain (e.g., active site of an enzyme) without benign variation
In a hotspot region, there are 2 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 3 benign, 16 uncertain in NM_007294.4
PM2
?
PM2 - Absent from controls (or at extremely low frequency if recessive) in Exome Sequencing Project, 1000 Genomes Project, or Exome Aggregation Consortium
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
BP4
?
BP4 - Multiple lines of computational evidence suggest no impact on gene or gene product (conservation, evolutionary, splicing impact, etc.)
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.27360755).

The p.L1472F variant (also known as c.4414C>T and 4533C>T), located in coding exon 12 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 4414. The leucine at codon 1472 is replaced by phenylalanine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant was previously reported in the SNPDatabase as rs200582930. This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the following databases: NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP) and 1000 Genomes Project. To date, this alteration has been detected with an allele frequency of approximately 0.001% (greater than 150000 alleles tested) in our clinical cohort. This amino acid position is 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 p.L1472F remains unclear. -

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. 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 not expected to disrupt BRCA1 protein function. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with BRCA1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 41824). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces leucine with phenylalanine at codon 1472 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Leu1472Phe). The leucine residue is moderately conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between leucine and phenylalanine. -
