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.2312T>C; p.Leu771Ser variant (rs730881481) is reported in the literature in several individuals with breast or ovarian cancer but also in a healthy control individual (Alvarez 2017, Bhaskaran 2019, Li 2013, Momozawa 2018). This variant is only observed on one allele in the Genome Aggregation Database (v2.1.1), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. Computational analyses predict that this variant is neutral (BayesDel: 0.060). Due to limited information, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain at this time.

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces leucine with serine at codon 771 of the BRCA1 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function. This variant has been observed in an individual affected with ovarian cancer (PMID: 24321281) and in suspected hereditary breast and ovarian cancer families (PMID: 29088781, 34981296). This variant also has been reported in breast, prostate and pancreatic cancer case-control studies in the Japanese population, in which this variant was detected in one unaffected individual in each study and absent in cancer cases (PMID: 30287823, 31214711, 32980694). This variant also has been reported in a multifactorial analysis with a likelihood ratio for pathogenicity based on personal and family history of 1.148 from log(LR)=0.059960604 for 1 carrier (PMID: 31853058). This variant has been identified in 1/251042 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. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.L771S variant (also known as c.2312T>C), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 2312. The leucine at codon 771 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration was identified in a cohort of Chilean breast cancer patients (Alvarez C et al. Oncotarget, 2017 Sep;8:74233-74243). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.2312T>C (p.Leu771Ser) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251042 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.2312T>C has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (e.g., Li_2013, Alvarez_2017). However the variant has also been reported in healthy controls (e.g., Momozawa_2018, Okawa_2023). These reports therefore 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: 29088781, 34981296, 24321281, 30287823, 36243179, 8723683). Six submitters have reported clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Five submitters classified the variant as uncertain significance, and one submitter classified the variant as likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

This missense variant replaces leucine with serine at codon 771 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). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been observed in an individual affected with ovarian cancer (PMID: 24321281) and a suspected hereditary breast and ovarian cancer family (PMID: 29088781). This variant also has been reported in breast, prostate and pancreatic cancer case-control studies in the Japanese population, in which this variant was detected in one unaffected individual in each study and absent in cancer cases (PMID: 30287823, 31214711, 32980694). This variant has been identified in 1/251042 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 BRCA1 c.2312T>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Leu771Ser. This variant occurs within a region of the BRCA1 gene that is predicted to be tolerant to missense variation (Table 2, Dines et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 31911673). This variant was reported in individuals with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Supplementary Table 1 in Alvarez et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 29088781; Table S4 in Bhaskaran. 2019. PubMed ID: 30702160) and also in control individuals (Supplementary Data 2 in Momozawa. 2018. PubMed ID: 30287823; Supplementary Table 2 in Okawa. 2023. PubMed ID: 36243179). This variant is reported in 0.00088% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD and has conflicting interpretations in ClinVar ranging from uncertain to likely benign (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/182145/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 771 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Leu771Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs730881481, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 24321281, 29088781, 30702160). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 182145). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt BRCA1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. 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. -
