Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina RCV000031242 SCV001285178 benign Breast-ovarian cancer, familial, susceptibility to, 1 2018-11-19 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. The evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was sufficient to rule this variant out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as benign.

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System RCV001353554 SCV000591279 benign Malignant tumor of breast no assertion criteria provided clinical testing The p.Tyr179Cys variant has been identified in 11 of 5342 proband chromosomes (frequency 0.002) in individuals with breast or ovarian cancers (Akbari 2011, Augello 2006, Caligo 2008, Diez 2003, Jalkh 2012, Russo 2007, Solano 2012) and was absent in 400 control chromosomes from these studies. Myriad reports this variant as a polymorphism, and Exome Server Project reports a frequency of 0.0003 in European American alleles, and 0.0002 in African American alleles. This variant has been also been reported in dbSNP (ID: rs56187033) “with non-pathogenic allele”, in the BIC database 54X as a variant of unknown clinical importance, and in UMD 27X as a neutral variant which co-occurred with pathogenic mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 four times (BRCA1 c.2043dup (p.Asn682X), BRCA1 c.191G>A (p.Cys64Tyr), BRCA2 c.6082_6086delGAAGA (p.Glu2028LysfsX19), BRCA2 c.5909C>A (p.Ser1970X)). The p.Tyr179 residue is conserved in mammals; however, computational analyses (PolyPhen2, SIFT, AlignGVGD) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein, and this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. Functional studies on the p.Tyr179Cys variant have suggested that it may have a deleterious effect on BRCA1 function, in assays evaluating its effect in homologous repair (Caligo 2008, Di Cecco 2009), non-homologous end-joining (Guidugli 2011), interaction of BRCA1 with Filamin A (Velkova 2010), and accumulation of BRCA1 at double-strand breaks (Wei 2008). Many studies have identified the p.Tyr179Cys variant co-occurring with two other BRCA1 variants, p.Phe486Lys and p.Asn550His, in individuals with breast or ovarian cancers (Augello 2006, Caligo 2008, Diez 2003, Jalkh 2012), suggesting that together they constitute a rare haplotype (Tavtigian 2006). Furthermore, Augello (2006) identified these three mutations in three members of one family indicating that they exist in cis, and suggests that the presence of the three variants might produce an effect on the conformation of the protein and, consequently, on its function. In summary, this variant meets our laboratory's criteria to be classified as benign.
