What condition is associated with BRCA1 p.His41= (c.123C>T)?

BRCA1 p.His41= (c.123C>T) is associated with breast-ovarian cancer, familial, susceptibility to, 1, hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome, hereditary neoplastic syndrome (ClinVar).

How common is BRCA1 p.His41= (c.123C>T) in the general population?

BRCA1 p.His41= (c.123C>T) is very rare (popmax 8.48e-05%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer syndrome inherited?

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

Rarity supports pathogenicity (ACMG PM2); frequency above a disease-specific BA1/BS1 threshold argues against it. A variant frequent in one ancestry group can be near-absent in others, so a single global figure can mislead.
