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]

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaApr 27, 2017This 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). Publications were found based on this search. The evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was sufficient to determine this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -

Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpApr 06, 2017Variant summary: The BRCA1 c.3713C>T (p.Pro1238Leu) variant causes a missense change (ACMG BP1) involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. Variant is not in any known functional domain of the protein. 2/4 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant (SNPs&GO not captured due to low reliability index). The variant of interest has been found in a large, broad control population, ExAC in 21/122536 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0001714, predominantly observed in the European (Finnish) subpopulation at a frequency of 0.001059 (7/6612). This frequency is slightly higher than the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic BRCA1 variant (0.0010005), suggesting this is likely a benign polymorphism found primarily in the populations of European (Finnish) origin (BS1). The variant has been reported in multiple affected individuals without strong evidence for causality. However, this variant has been reported to co-occur with deleterious mutations in BRCA1 gene (c.5266dupC/p.Gln1756fsX74; reported as 5385insC/ and BRCA1 c.4533_4534delCA) (ACMG BP2) in two individuals suggesting a likely benign nature of this variant (Abkevich_J Med Genet_2004). This is also supported by a functional study (Lu_BRCA1&2_Nat Comm_2015) where HDR analysis in 2/3 cases showed no significant change from WT (ACMG BS3). In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as benign/likely benign (ACMG BP6). These evidences support the classification of this variant as benign based upon ACMG guidelines (BP1, BP2, BP6, BS1, and BS3). Taken together, this variant is classified as benign. -

Malignant tumor of breast Benign:1
Benign, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System-The BRCA1 p.Pro1238Leu variant was identified in 3 of 4198 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.001) from individuals or families with breast and ovarian cancer (Akbari 2011, Johnston 2012, Rummel 2013). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs28897688) “With Uncertain significance,other allele”, HGMD, LOVD, the ClinVar database (classified as a benign variant by the Sharing Clinical Reports Project, derived from Myriad reports; classified as likely benign by Invitae and Counsyl), GeneInsight through the Canadian Open Genetics Repository (http://opengenetics.ca/) (1X, classified as “unclassified” by a clinical laboratory), the BIC database (42X with unknown clinical importance), and UMD (3X as a neutral variant). This variant was identified in three HAPMAP populations: HAPMAP-CEU in 1 of 224 chromosomes (frequency: 0.004), HAPMAP-JPT in 1 of 172 chromosomes (frequency: 0.006), and HAPMAP-MEX in 1 of 98 chromosomes (frequency: 0.01). The variant was also identified in two European populations within the Exome Aggregation Consortium Browser, in 13/67692 European non-Finnish alleles (frequency: 0.000192) and 7/6746 Finnish alleles (frequency: 0.001038). The presence of the variant in these populations increases the likelihood that this is a low frequency benign variant in certain populations of origin. The p.Pro1238 residue is not conserved in mammals and the variant amino acid leucine (Leu) is present in cow, increasing the likelihood that the variant does not have clinical importance. In addition, four out of five computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. An in silico study using conservation analysis suggests the variant is likely deleterious; however the was identified with a known deleterious mutation (5385insC) in a BRCA1 in the same study, increasing the likelihood the variant may not have clinical significance (Abkevich 2004). In addition, two in silico studies using multifactorial probability-based models found this variant to be neutral (Easton 2007, Lindor 2012). Furthermore, this variant was identified by our lab in an individual who had a co-occuring pathogenic variant in BRCA2 (c.5946delT, p.Ser1982ArgfsX22), increasing the likelhood that this variant is benign. In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratory's criteria to be classified as benign. -
