Since the 2023 report, the consensus for BRCA1 c.5056C>T has moved from uncertain significance to likely pathogenic. That reading rests on 10 submissions at strong review confidence, reviewed by expert panel. That crosses the clinically actionable boundary, so management guidance issued on the original interpretation may no longer be the right guidance. 4 records on file carry this variant and have not yet been reassessed.
Composed from the structured fields of the records cited on this page. Requires clinical verification before it informs any decision.

Sources consistent
Both lanes fall in the same clinical band.
Global
Read from ClinVar, which aggregates submissions dominated by European-ancestry cohorts.
Regional
Modelled regional aggregation maintained inside this workspace.
VariantPulse analysis
Both sources place this variant in the same band, so there is no divergence to resolve. Absent from gnomAD v4 entirely, including its ~3,000 Middle Eastern individuals. Regional data neither supports nor contradicts the expert-panel reclassification; the global reading stands.
