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]

The BRCA1 c.4485-8C>T variant was identified in 1 of 300 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.003) from individuals or families with breast cancer (Flower 2015). The variant was also identified in the following databases: dbSNP (ID: rs397507234) as "With other allele", ClinVar (2x uncertain significance, 3x likely benign), Clinvitae, Cosmic (1x, confirmed somatic, in carcinoma of the ovary), and LOVD 3.0 (1x). The variant was classified as a likely benign variant by the Sharing Clinical Reports Project (SCRP, derived from Myriad reports). The variant was not identified in the following databases: COGR, MutDB, UMD-LSDB, BIC Database, ARUP Laboratories, or the Zhejiang University Database. The variant was identified in control databases in 2 of 276702 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000007 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). It was observed in the European population in 2 of 126368 chromosomes (freq: 0.00002); it was not observed in the African, Other, Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, Finnish, or South Asian populations. This variant was classified as “likely non-pathogenic or of little clinical significance” based on the methylation profile in a breast tumour sample (Flower 2015). The c.4485-8C>T variant is located in the 3' splice region but does not affect the invariant -1 and -2 positions. However, positions -3 and -5 to -12 are part of the splicing consensus sequence and variants involving these positions sometimes affect splicing. However, in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -

The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0000071 (2/282280 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is uninformative in assessment of its pathogenicity. In the published literature, the variant has been reported in one family from a cohort of 146 high-risk families with BRCA1 and BRCA2 variants (PMID: 22476429 (2012)). A functional study of breast cancer tumors has reported the variant has an uncertain impact on protein function, however further studies are required to determine the global impact of this variant on BRCA1 protein function (PMID: 26727311 (2015)). Analysis of this variant using software algorithms for the prediction of the effect of nucleotide changes on splicing yielded predictions that this variant does not affect BRCA1 mRNA splicing . Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.4485-8C>T alters a non-conserved nucleotide located at a position not widely known to affect splicing. Consensus agreement among computation tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 250888 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.4485-8C>T has been reported in the literature in affected individuals without strong evidence for or against pathogenicity (Lu_2012, Flower_2015 ). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 26727311, 22476429, 33233347). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37599). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
