Is BRCA1 p.Cys47Arg (c.139T>C) pathogenic?

BRCA1 p.Cys47Arg (c.139T>C) is classified Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic in BRCA1 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 6 submitters; last evaluated 2025-07-15). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.9984); Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with hereditary breast carcinoma.

What condition is associated with BRCA1 p.Cys47Arg (c.139T>C)?

BRCA1 p.Cys47Arg (c.139T>C) is associated with hereditary breast carcinoma, hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome, breast-ovarian cancer, familial, susceptibility to, 1 (ClinVar).

How common is BRCA1 p.Cys47Arg (c.139T>C) in the general population?

BRCA1 p.Cys47Arg (c.139T>C) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (gnomAD).

How is Hereditary breast cancer inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant, Multigenic/multifactorial (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

What do computational predictors say about BRCA1 p.Cys47Arg (c.139T>C)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.9984) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.
