RCV000481622 | SCV000567337 | uncertain significance | not provided | 2015-07-21 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant is denoted BRCA1 c.5018A>G at the cDNA level, p.His1673Arg (H1673R) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Histidine to an Arginine (CAC>CGC). Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA1 5137A>G. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. BRCA1 His1673Arg was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Histidine and Arginine share similar properties, this is considered a conservative amino acid substitution. BRCA1 His1673Arg occurs at a position that is not conserved and is located in the BRCT1 domain (UniProt). In silico analyses predict that this variant is unlikely to alter protein structure or function. Based on currently available information, it is unclear whether BRCA1 His1673Arg is pathogenic or benign. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. |
Ambry Genetics | RCV001023427 | SCV001185298 | likely benign | Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome | 2021-10-15 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | 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. |

RCV001851165 | SCV002265880 | uncertain significance | Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome | 2023-07-03 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect BRCA1 function (PMID: 30209399). Advanced modeling performed at Invitae incorporating data from internal and/or published experimental studies (PMID: 30209399) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt BRCA1 function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 419497). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BRCA1-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1673 of the BRCA1 protein (p.His1673Arg). 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. |

RCV001072978 | SCV004043176 | likely benign | Breast-ovarian cancer, familial, susceptibility to, 1 | 2023-08-17 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant is considered likely benign. This variant is strongly associated with less severe personal and family histories of cancer, typical for individuals without pathogenic variants in this gene [PMID: 25085752]. |

RCV001072978 | SCV004817604 | uncertain significance | Breast-ovarian cancer, familial, susceptibility to, 1 | 2024-01-11 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This missense variant replaces histidine with arginine at codon 1673 of the BRCA1 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). This variant has been reported to be functional in a haploid cell proliferation assay (PMID: 30209399). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. |

RCV001072978 | SCV005402488 | likely benign | Breast-ovarian cancer, familial, susceptibility to, 1 | 2024-04-12 | criteria provided, single submitter | curation | Each variant was annotated with functional scores from MAVE data which was translated into functional evidence codes. All other evidence codes and combining criteria were adhered to as closely as possible based on the ClinGen VCEP (Variant Curation Expert Panel) gene-specific recommendations. See Supplemental Figure 34 of final paper (Supp Fig. 28 in preprint: doi:10.1101/2024.04.11.24305690) for a table to see which lines of evidence we did not have data for. The ClinGen VCEPs are highly regarded as the gold-standard for gene-specific variant curation and are developed after extensive evaluation of the evidence by clinical and scientific experts for the particular gene to classify genomic variants on a spectrum from pathogenic to benign using the 2015 ACMG/AMP Variant Interpretation Guidelines as a backbone (PMID: 25741868). Reclassification of these VUS variants from gnomAD or All of Us focused only on variants originally prescribed as VUS in ClinVar. To ensure reproducibility, transparency, and increased throughput, all the procedures for annotating variants and assigning evidence codes were codified using Python. All code has been made freely available and is linked in the Code Availability section and all reclassified variants with evidence codes used can be found in Tables S18-19 (preprint: doi:10.1101/2024.04.11.24305690). For the MAVE data, the clinical curation and clinical strength assignment as per the ClinGen recommendations in Brnich et al. (2020) (PMID: 31892348) for or against pathogenicity or benignity of each of these MAVE datasets utilized in this study were previously published in Fayer et al. (2021) (PMID: 34793697).In brief, for BRCA1 variants, if a variant was categorized as FUNC (functional), it was assigned BS3 evidence and no PS3 evidence, whereas if it was categorized as LOF (loss of function), the variant was assigned PS3 evidence and no BS3 evidence. Variants categorized as INT (intermediate) were left unannotated. For the BRCA1 combining criteria, greater than or equal to 1 criteria of strong benign evidence was enough to reclassify the VUS as Likely Benign. This variant GRCh38:17:43067664:T>C was assigned evidence codes ['BS3', 'BP4'] and an overall classification of Likely benign |
