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]

BS3, BP4 c.4261C>T, located in exon 12 (exon 11 according to BIC nomenclature) of the BRCA1 gene, is predicted to result in the substitution of histidine by tyrosine at codon 1421, p.(His1421Tyr). This variant is found in 3/236896 alleles at a frequency of 0.001% in the gnomAD v2.1.1 database, non-cancer dataset. The SpliceAI algorithm predicts no significant impact on splicing and the BayesDel noAF score (-0.15) suggests that it does not affect the protein function (BP4). One calibrated study reported that it affects protein function similar to benign control variants (PMID:30765603) (BS3). This variant has been reported in the ClinVar database (3x uncertain significance, 1x benign, 7x likely benign), in the LOVD database (3x unclassified) and in BRCA Exchange database (unclassified). Based on currently available information, the variant c.4261C>T should be considered a likely benign variant according to ClinGen ENIGMA BRCA1 and BRCA2 Expert Panel Specifications to the ACMG/AMP Variant Interpretation Guidelines for BRCA1 Version 1.0.0. -

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. -

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.4261C>T (p.His1421Tyr) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 252434 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.4261C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer or at high risk, without strong evidence for causality (examples, Shattuck-Eidens_1997, Dutil_2012, Vogel_2007, Judkins_2005, Diaz-Zabala_2018, Grant_2015, Ren_2021), it has also been reported in a control cohort (example, Dorling_2021). However, these reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. Co-occurrence with another pathogenic variant has been reported (Dutil_2012, pathogenic variant not provided) for this variant, supporting evidence for a benign role. Several functional experiments suggest that this variant has transcriptional and HDR activity similar to that of wild-type (Carvalho_2010, Hu_2002, Lu_2015, Woods_2016). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 18992264, 30400234, 22682623, 30765603, 25479140, 12080089, 21447777, 16267036, 18259752, 26689913, 15385441, 15689452, 34196900, 9333265, 23704879, 17925560, 28781887). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 55156). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
