The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):āc.4297A>Gā(p.Ile1433Val) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000372 in 1,614,180 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 16/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars).
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 is denoted BRCA1 c.4297A>G at the cDNA level, p.Ile1433Val (I1433V) at the protein level, and results in the change of an Isoleucine to a Valine (ATA>GTA). Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA1 4416A>G. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. BRCA1 Ile1433Val was not observed at a significant allele frequency in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project. Since Isoleucine and Valine share similar properties, this is considered a conservative amino acid substitution. BRCA1 Ile1433Val occurs at a position that is not conserved and is located in the SCD domain and region that binds multiple other proteins. (Chen 1998, Narod 2004, Clark 2012). While protein-based in silico analyses predict that this variant is unlikely to alter protein structure or function, multiple splicing models predict that this variant may create a strong cryptic splice donor site upstream of the natural splice donor site and lead to abnormal splicing. However, in the absence of RNA or functional studies, the actual effect of this variant is unknown. Based on currently available information, it is unclear whether BRCA1 Ile1433Val is pathogenic or benign. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

The BRCA1 c.4297A>G (p.Ile1433Val) variant has been reported in the published literature in a control individual in a large scale breast cancer association study (PMID: 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/BRCA1)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000008 (2/251428 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Additional analysis using software algorithms for the prediction of the effect of nucleotide changes on BRCA1 mRNA splicing yielded predictions that this variant may result in the gain of a cryptic splice site without affecting the natural splice sites. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

This missense variant replaces isoleucine with valine at codon 1433 of the BRCA1 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). Splice site prediction tools suggest that this variant may create a splice donor site. However, this prediction has not been confirmed in published RNA studies. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has been identified in 2/251428 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

The p.I1433V variant (also known as c.4297A>G), located in coding exon 11 of the BRCA1 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 4297. The isoleucine at codon 1433 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This sequence change replaces isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1433 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Ile1433Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs541512953, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BRCA1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 186786). 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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. 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. -

This variant is considered likely benign. This variant is strongly associated with less severe personal and family histories of cancer, typical for individuals without pathogenic variants in this gene [PMID: 25085752]. -
