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 Uncertain_significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.T559R variant (also known as c.1676C>G), located in coding exon 11 of the BRIP1 gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 1676. The threonine at codon 559 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces threonine with arginine at codon 559 of the BRIP1 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with breast cancer (PMID: 26921362). This variant has not been identified 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. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

PM2_supporting c.1676C>G, located in exon 12 of the BRIP1 gene, is predicted to result in the substitution of Threonine by Arginine at codon 559, p.(Thr559Arg). It is not present in the population database gnomAD v2.1.1, non cancer dataset (PM2_supporting). The SpliceAI algorithm predicts no significant impact on splicing and the REVEL meta-predictor score (0.34) for this variant is indeterminate regarding the effect that it may have on protein function according Pejaver 2022 thresholds (PMID: 36413997). To our knowledge, neither relevant clinical data nor well-stablished functional studies have been reported for this variant. It has been reported in ClinVar as an uncertain significance variant. Based on currently available information, the variant c.1676C>G should be considered an uncertain significance variant. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 559 of the BRIP1 protein (p.Thr559Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 26921362). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 229916). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) 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. -
