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]

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.19C>T (p.Arg7Cys) 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 2.4e-05 in 251176 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.19C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with or suspected of Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (e.g. Gonzalez_2011, Keshvarzi_2012, Solano_2012). However, these reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. Several publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. These results showed no damaging effect of this variant on homology directed repair (HDR) activity (e.g. Starita_2015, Findlay_2018, Bouwman_2020), and no effect on splicing (Wai_2020). The variant has also been reported to have normal binding to BARD1 and E2, and normal levels of E3 ligase activity (Morris_2006). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 32546644, 20683152, 35659930, 30209399, 20859677, 34981296, 16267036, 21918854, 16403807, 23192404, 23961350, 25823446, 32123317). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37440). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

The BRCA1 p.Arg7Cys variant was identified in 5 of 516 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0097) from Argentinean, Iranian and Algerian individuals or families with HBOC (Cherbal 2012, Solano 2012, Keshavarzi 2012). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs80356994) as "With other allele", ClinVar (classified as likely benign by Ambry Genetics, GeneDx, Color, Invitae, Quest Diagnostics, SCRP, and True Health Diagnostics; as uncertain significance by Queen's University and BIC), LOVD 3.0 (3 submissions, classified as does not affect function and effect unknown), UMD-LSDB (classified as a probable polymorphism).The variant was identified in control databases in 6 of 245822 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00002 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: European Non-Finnish in 6 of 111308 chromosomes (freq: 0.000054), while the variant was not observed in the African, Other, Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, European Finnish, and South Asian populations. In a yeast two-hybrid ubiquitin ligase assay this variant showed E2 and BARD1 binding and E3 ligase activity equivalent to wild type function (Morris 2006). In a massively parallel functional analysis of BRCA1 RING domain variants, this variant showed no binding defect with BARD1 and was able to rescue homology-directed DNA repair but it performed poorly in the E3 ligase selections; however, it may retain enough E3 ligase activity to satisfy a possibly low threshold of requisite activity and was classified as benign (Starita 2015). The p.Arg7 residue is not conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein; this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) 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 although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign. -
