rs41293463, also known as c.5324T>G (p.Met1775Arg or M1775R) as well as c.5324T>A (p.Met1775Lys or M1775K), is a SNP causing an amino acid change in the breast cancer 1 BRCA1 gene at amino position 1775. A study found that the rs41293463(G) allele has impaired transcriptional ability, and this allele was found in some patients with breast cancer. It seems likely that primarily (G;G) homozygotes would be at increased risk for breast cancer but this has not been demonstrated. ClinVar has designated both minor alleles as pathogenic for breast cancer. This variant is considered to be the first BRCA1 mutation identified in an African-American family. It is also among the most common hereditary breast cancer mutations observed in a group of Nigerian patients. 23andMe name for the T>G variant: i5010037 * See also Omim 113705.0035
