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 2.8e-05 in 246164 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.4816A>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (Fitzgerald_1996, Judkins_2005, Simard_2007). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. Two independent publications spanning a decade report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, both of which demonstrate no functional impact of this variant on measures of yeast small colony phenotype assay (Coyne 2004) and a transcriptional activation assay coupled to a Bayesian hierarchical model that estimated the likelihood of pathogenicity (Woods, 2016). Six clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Multiple laboratories reported the variant with conflicting assessments (4 VUS, 2 likely benign/benign). Taken together, the emerging functional evidence surrounding this variant published in reputed recently published journals and recent classifications in data sharing databases (ClinVar) support the move towards a benign impact for this variant. However, additional evidence supporting presence in unaffected controls (due to its rarity), lack of co-seggregation with disease, and co-occurrences with other pathological variants in BRCA1 is awaited. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign.

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System RCV000031193 SCV000591540 uncertain significance Breast-ovarian cancer, familial, susceptibility to, 1 no assertion criteria provided clinical testing The BRCA1 p.Lys1606Glu variant was identified in at least 9 of 111320 proband chromosomes from individuals with breast cancer or who were referred for BRCA1 screening (Fitzgerald 1996, Judkins 2005); however, control chromosomes were not evaluated in these studies, thus the prevalence of this variant in the general population could not be determined. This variant was previously identified by our lab in an individual with breast cancer, and was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs80356943) “With untested allele”, HGMD, UMD (1X as an unknown variant), and the BIC database (8X with unknown clinical importance). This residue is not conserved in mammals or lower organisms and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein. However, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. 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 unknown significance.
