Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2

The p.L1404R variant (also known as c.4211T>G), located in coding exon 11 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 4211. The leucine at codon 1404 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration was reported to segregate with disease in two affected siblings: one with breast and ovarian cancer at ages 43 and 51, the other with ovarian cancer at age 47. A functional host cell end joining assay demonstrated that this alteration results in diminished double strand break repair activity, similar to mutant controls (Coupier I et al. Oncogene, 2004 Jan;23:914-9). This variant was also identified in a cohort of 826 unselected Chinese ovarian cancer patients (Wu X et al. Int J Gynecol Cancer, 2017 Oct;27:1650-1657). This amino acid position is highly 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 this alteration remains unclear. -

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.4211T>G (p.Leu1404Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251348 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.4211T>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (e.g. Stoppa-Lyonnet_1997, Coupier_2004, Hasmad_2016, Bhaskaran_2019). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. At least one publication reports experimental evidence that a patient-derived lymphoblastoid cell line with the variant had a reduced capacity for DSB-repair, however it was not proven that the variant was responsible for this phenotype (e.g. Coupier_2004). One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and cited the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Uncertain:1
This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1404 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Leu1404Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs80356916, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with personal and family histories of breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 9150149, 28692638, 35918668). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 491071). 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%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects BRCA1 function (PMID: 14647443). 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. -
