Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -1 ACMG points: 2P and 3B. PM2 BP4_Moderate BP6

The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):​c.3835G>T​(p.Ala1279Ser) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,872 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. A1279T) has been classified as Likely benign.

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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -1 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.20992696).
• BP6: Variant 17-43091696-C-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr17-43091696-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 421098.We mark this variant Likely_benign, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_benign=1, Uncertain_significance=2}.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1 Benign:1

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	May 31, 2023	The p.A1279S variant (also known as c.3835G>T), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 3835. The alanine at codon 1279 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is not well 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. -
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	curation	University of Washington Department of Laboratory Medicine, University of Washington	Mar 23, 2023	Missense variant in a coldspot region where missense variants are very unlikely to be pathogenic (PMID:31911673). -

This variant is denoted BRCA1 c.3835G>T at the cDNA level, p.Ala1279Ser (A1279S) at the protein level, and results in the change of an Alanine to a Serine (GCA>TCA). Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA1 3954G>T. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. BRCA1 Ala1279Ser was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, suggesting it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Alanine and Serine differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution. BRCA1 Ala1279Ser occurs at a position that is not conserved and is not located in a known functional domain. In silico analyses are inconsistent regarding the effect this variant may have on protein structure and function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether BRCA1 Ala1279Ser is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -
