The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.4765C>T(p.Arg1589Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000013 in 1,461,884 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R1589H) has been classified as Likely benign.
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]
Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -3 ACMG points.
BP4
?
BP4 - Multiple lines of computational evidence suggest no impact on gene or gene product (conservation, evolutionary, splicing impact, etc.)
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.23940855).
BP6

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

DNA sequence analysis of the BRCA1 gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.4765C>T, in exon 15 that results in an amino acid change, p.Arg1589Cys. This sequence change has been described in the gnomAD database in three individuals (dbSNP rs80357002). The p.Arg1589Cys change has been described in one individual from a hereditary breast and ovarian cancer family (PMID: 16267036). The p.Arg1589Cys change affects a poorly conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the BRCA1 protein that is known to be functional. In-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL) provide contradictory results for the p.Arg1589Cys substitution. Due to these contrasting evidences and the lack of functional studies, the clinical significance of the p.Arg1589Cys change remains unknown at this time. -

This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -

Variant summary: The BRCA1 c.4765C>T (p.Arg1589Cys) variant causes a missense change involving a non-conserved nucleotide with 2/4 in silico tools (SNPs&GO not captured due to low reliability index) predict a benign outcome. This variant is not located in any known domain/repeats, however lies in flanking region of BRCA2 repeat regions (InterPro). The variant of interest was observed in the large and broad control population from ExAC with an allele frequency of 2/121346 (1/60673), which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic BRCA1 variant of 1/1000. The variant has been reported in HBOC families, however with limited information (i.e. no data about co-occurrence and cosegregation provided). However, a reputable database (BIC) cites the variant to co-occur with a pathogenic BRCA2 variant (c.1929delG), suggesting that it was not a primary cause of disease in the patient. In addition, this variant had similar transcription activation activity in comparison to wildtype (Woods_2016). Multiple reputable databases/clinical laboratories cite the variant as "uncertain significance" (n=2) or "likely benign/benign" (n=2). Another variant at the same residue (p.Arg1589His) has also been reported in UMD five times, one of which also carried a deleterious variant in BRCA2 (c.317-2A>G) and results in transcription activation similar to wildtype (Woods_2016). Therefore, taken all available information into consideration, the variant of interest has been classified as a variant of uncertain significance (VUS)-possibly benign/possible normal variant until additional information becomes available. -
