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 Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 7 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Fraction of 0.144 CDS is truncated, and there are 0 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 17-61683837-G-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-61683837-G-T is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 407856.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_pathogenic=3, Uncertain_significance=1}.

ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 407856). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the TopBP1-binding region of the BRIP1 protein, which plays a critical role in RPA chromatin loading and the activation of the replication checkpoint in response to DNA damage (PMID: 20159562, 21127055). While functional studies have not been performed to directly test the effect of this variant on BRIP1 protein function, this suggests that disruption of this region of the protein is causative of disease. 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.Ser1070*) in the BRIP1 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 180 amino acid(s) of the BRIP1 protein. -

The p.S1070* variant (also known as c.3209C>A) located in coding exon 19 of the BRIP1 gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 3209. This changes the amino acid from a serine to a stop codon within coding exon 19. This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of BRIP1 gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and only impacts the last 180 amino acids of the protein. Premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature and the impacted C-terminal region of the protein has been shown by structural, biochemical, and mutational analysis to be relevant for the protein function (Leung CC et al. J. Biol. Chem. 2011 Feb; 286(6):4292-301. Xie J et al. PLoS Genet. 2012 Jul; 8(7):e1002786; Gong Z et al. Mol. Cell, 2010 Feb;37:438-46). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic -
