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.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	May 04, 2023	The p.G649A variant (also known as c.1946G>C), located in coding exon 13 of the BRIP1 gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 1946. The glycine at codon 649 is replaced by alanine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been detected in 1/1824 patients with triple negative breast cancer who were unselected for a family history of breast or ovarian cancer (Couch FJ et al. J. Clin. Oncol., 2015 Feb;33:304-11). This alteration has also been reported in a pediatric astrocytoma patient (Muskens IS et al. Neuro Oncol, 2020 Jun;22:864-874). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Sep 26, 2019	This missense variant replaces glycine with alanine at codon 649 of the BRIP1 protein. Computational prediction tool suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold ≤ 0.5, PMID: 27666373). Splice site prediction tools suggest that this variant may not impact RNA splicing. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with breast cancer (PMID: 25452441). This variant has also been identified in 3/251286 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Variant summary: BRIP1 c.1946G>C (p.Gly649Ala) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 251286 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1946G>C has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with pediatric astrocytoma and at least one individual with triple negative breast cancer (Couch_2015, Muskens_2020). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 25452441, 31970404). Three ClinVar submitters have assessed the variant since 2014, and all submitters classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 649 of the BRIP1 protein (p.Gly649Ala). This variant is present in population databases (rs746066323, gnomAD 0.009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 25452441). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 220217). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt BRIP1 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. 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. -
