This variant is denoted BRCA1 c.5531T>G at the cDNA level, p.Leu1844Arg (L1844R) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Leucine to an Arginine (CTC>CGC). This variant, also known as BRCA1 5650T>G using alternate nomenclature, was reported as having an uncertain clinical effect based on biochemical and cell-based transcriptional assays (Lee 2010). This variant has been observed in at least one HBOC family and at least one individual with breast cancer (Peixoto 2014, Dean 2015). BRCA1 Leu1844Arg was not observed at a significant allele frequency in large population cohorts (Lek 2016). This variant is located in the BRCT2 domain and a region known to interact with multiple proteins (UniProt, Paul 2014). In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether BRCA1 Leu1844Arg is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Benign:3
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. -

Malignant tumor of breast Uncertain:1
The BRCA1 p.Leu1844Arg variant was identified in 2 of 2340 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0009) from individuals or families with breast and ovarian cancer (Dean 2015, Peixoto 2015). The variant identified in dbSNP (rs80357323) as “with uncertain significance allele”, ClinVar (interpreted as "uncertain significance by Ambry Genetics and 7 others and “likely benign" by SCRP), LOVD 3.0 (observed 3x) and UMD-LSDB (observed 2x). The variant was identified in control databases in 5 of 245,562 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00002 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: African in 2 of 15,300 chromosomes (freq: 0.0001), Ashkenazi Jewish in 3 of 9820 chromosomes (freq: 0.0003), while the variant was not observed in the Other, Latino, European, East Asian, Finnish, and South Asian populations. The functional effect of the p.Leu1844Arg missense variant was assessed in a series of assays. Based on the nonconcordant results in binding, protease sensitivity and structural stability assays, the variant was classified as having an uncertain functional effect (Lee 2010). The p.Leu1844 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. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.5531T>G (p.Leu1844Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the BRCT domain (IPR001357) of 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 2e-05 in 250824 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.5531T>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Breast and Ovarian Cancer (Dean_2015, Peixoto_2014, Judkins_2005, Guindalini_2022, deOliveira_2022) and in an individual with Sebacious Carcinoma in whom a different somatic etiology, namely a somatic inactivation of MSH2 and MSH6 genes was reported (Wield_2018). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. Several publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function by transcriptional activation assays (example, Lee_2010, Woods_2016, Fernandes_2019). These results have consistently demonstrated no damaging effect of this variant. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 24845084, 26543556, 30765603, 35264596, 16267036, 17305420, 20516115, 24916970, 30225334, 28781887, 35534704, Iversen et al). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 55615). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
