Ambry Genetics	RCV000162837	SCV000213324	uncertain significance	Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome	2024-10-01	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	The p.T231M variant (also known as c.692C>T), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 692. The threonine at codon 231 is replaced by methionine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant has been reported in individuals undergoing breast cancer risk counseling and genetic testing and in an individual diagnosed with pancreatic cancer (van Harssel JJ et al. Fam. Cancer. 2010 Jun;9:193-201; Michils G et al. J. Mol. Diagn. 2012 Nov;14:623-30; Dudley B et al. Cancer, 2018 04;124:1691-1700). This alteration has been reported with a carrier frequency of 0.00028 in 7051 unselected breast cancer patients and was not identified in 11241 female controls of Japanese ancestry (Momozawa Y et al. Nat Commun. 2018 10;9:4083). In one study, RT-PCR analysis revealed partial exon 11 skipping, resulting in the production of full-length transcripts as well as increased expression of two isoforms that are also present in controls (Brandão RD et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2011 Oct;129:971-82; Ambry internal data). In one cDNA-based functional assay, this alteration was predicted to be neutral (Bouwman P et al. Cancer Discov. 2013 Oct;3:1142-55). In addition, this alteration was classified as uncertain significance based on a multifactorial analysis model of variant classification (Parsons MT et al. Hum. Mutat. 2019 09;40:1557-1578). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 811C>T in some published literature. This amino acid position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	RCV001175367	SCV000699293	uncertain significance	not specified	2024-10-29	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Variant summary: BRCA1 c.692C>T (p.Thr231Met) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.4e-05 in 247512 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in BRCA1 causing Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (4.4e-05 vs 0.001), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.692C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome and pancreatic cancer (e.g. Judkins_2005, van Harssel_2010, Brandao_2011, Dudley_2018, Momozawa_2018, Dorling_2021, Delahunty_2022, Adamson_2023). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. Two independent studies have shown that this variant does not affect the expression level of the full length transcript but gives rise to increased expression of a naturally occurring isoform lacking exon 11, the consequence of which is unknown (Brandao_2011, Tammaro_2014). Using different assays to assess the ability of variants to complement Brca1-deficient mouse embryonic stem cells in homologous recombination DNA repair (HRR), Bouwman et al (2013 and 2020) determined c.692C>T to be neutral. A publication involving the ENIGMA network of collaborators (Parsons_2019) assigned a classification of uncertain significance based on likelihood ratios (LRs) for pathogenicity estimated from clinical data of co-occurrence, family history and bioinformatic predictions. However, Bouwman et al (2020) using multifactorial likelihood analysis from their study combined with Parsons_2019 study determined the variant of interest to have very low posterior probability of being pathogenic. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 37460928, 34130653, 23867111, 32546644, 21638052, 35263119, 33471991, 29360161, 16267036, 23034506, 30287823, 31131967, 15385441, 25056543, 19949876). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 55669). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign.
