Genes affected

BRIP1 (HGNC:20473): (BRCA1 interacting helicase 1) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the RecQ DEAH helicase family and interacts with the BRCT repeats of breast cancer, type 1 (BRCA1). The bound complex is important in the normal double-strand break repair function of breast cancer, type 1 (BRCA1). This gene may be a target of germline cancer-inducing mutations.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Stoplost variant. No alternative stopcodon identified downstream, so we assume a Nonstop Mediated Decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BRIP1-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Met1244Thrfs*2) in the BRIP1 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 6 amino acid(s) of the BRIP1 protein. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 461165). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. -

The c.3731_*5del25 variant (also known as p.M1244Tfs*2), located between coding exon 19 and the 3'-UTR of the BRIP1 gene, results from a deletion of 25 nucleotides (TGTTTCCTGGTTTTAAGTAATAATA) at positions 3731 to *5 causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon. This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of the BRIP1 gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and only impacts the last 6 amino acids of the protein. The exact functional effect of this alteration is unknown. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
