ClinGen ENIGMA BRCA1 and BRCA2 Variant Curation Expert Panel, ClinGen RCV004566896 SCV004101431 benign BRCA1-related cancer predisposition 2024-06-11 reviewed by expert panel curation The c.591C>T variant in BRCA1 is a synonymous variant (p.Cys197=). The highest non-cancer, non-founder population filter allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1 (exomes only, non-cancer subset, read depth >=20) or gnomAD v3.1 (non-cancer subset, read depth >=20) is 0.001402 in the European (non-Finnish) population, which is above the ENIGMA BRCA1/2 VCEP threshold (>0.001) for BA1 (BA1 met). This is a synonymous (silent) variant, and mRNA experimental analysis indicates no impact on splicing or an increase of in-frame naturally occurring splice isoforms with production of wildtype transcripts (PMIDs: 19892845, 22505045, 24607278, 23239986), considered strong evidence against pathogenicity (BP7_Strong (RNA)). Multifactorial likelihood ratio analysis using clinically calibrated data produced a combined LR for this variant of 1.33E-16 (based on Pathology LR=1.33E-16), below the threshold for very strong benign evidence (LR <0.00285) (BP5_Very strong met; ENIGMA internal contributor). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as a Benign variant for BRCA1-related cancer predisposition based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied as specified by the ENIGMA BRCA1/2 VCEP (BA1, BP7_Strong (RNA), BP5_Very strong).

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina RCV000112746 SCV001284089 likely benign Breast-ovarian cancer, familial, susceptibility to, 1 2018-01-18 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 determine this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign.

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System RCV001353617 SCV000591288 benign Malignant tumor of breast no assertion criteria provided clinical testing The p.Cys197Cys variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it does not alter an amino acid residue and is not located near a splice junction. It has been previously identified by our laboratory and has been reported as a benign variant. It has also been reported in the literature in 35 out of 5616 proband chromosomes of individuals from families with hereditary breast and ovarian cancers, and was classified as a variant of benign significance or as a polymorphism; it was also found in 6 out of 1964 control chromosomes (Bergthorsson_2001_11389159, Diez_2003_12955716, Dosil_2010_19892845, Ladopoulou_2002_10980541, McKean-Cowdin_2005_15726418, Stegel_2011_21232165, Takahashi_1995_7606717). In addition, this variant is listed in the UMD mutation database as a neutral variant and observed to co-occur with other BRCA1 pathogenic mutations: c.4327C>T (p.Arg1443X), c.5123C>A (p.Ala1708Glu), c.68_69delAG (p.Glu23ValfsX17), c.IVS6-1G>A (c.302-1G>A), increasing the likelihood that the p.Cys179Cysvariant does not have any clinical significance. This variant is listed in the dbSNP database as coming from a "clinical source" (ID#:rs1799965) but no frequency information was provided, and so the prevalence of this variant in the population is not known. In addition, Myriad classifies this variant as a polymorphism (personal communication). In summary, based on the above information, the p.Cys197Cys variant is classified as benign.
