Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM2
The NM_007294.4(BRCA1):c.344C>T(p.Pro115Leu) variant causes a missense change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★).
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]

The p.P115L variant (also known as c.344C>T), located in coding exon 5 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 344. The proline at codon 115 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant has been reported in a Chinese patient with a history of benign breast disease, and in a Chinese patient with a solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas (Suter NM et al. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev, 2004 Feb;13:181-9; Yin L et al. JAMA Netw Open, 2022 Feb;5:e2148721). This variant has also been identified Chinese cohort studies of individuals with a personal and/or family history of breast or ovarian cancers undergoing multi-gene panel testing for HBOC risk assessment (Shao D et al. Cancer Sci, 2020 Feb;111:647-657; Yao L et al. J Hum Genet, 2022 Nov;67:639-642). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt BRCA1 protein function. This variant has been observed in individual(s) with benign breast disease (PMID: 14973102). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 232058). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces proline with leucine at codon 115 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Pro115Leu). The proline residue is moderately conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between proline and leucine. -
