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.

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	May 24, 2024	The c.627+1G>A intronic variant results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 5 of the BRIP1 gene. This alteration has been identified in multiple patients referred for evaluation due to personal and/or family history of ovarian cancer (Desmond A et al. JAMA Oncol, 2015 Oct;1:943-51; Susswein LR et al. Genet. Med., 2016 08;18:823-32; Lilyquist J et al. Gynecol. Oncol., 2017 11;147:375-380; Carter NJ et al. Gynecol. Oncol. 2018 12;151:481-488). This nucleotide position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site. RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in abnormal splicing in the set of samples tested (Ambry internal data). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Mar 17, 2022	This variant causes a G to A nucleotide substitution at the +1 position of intron 6 of the BRIP1 gene. Splice site prediction tools predict that this variant may have a significant impact on RNA splicing. To our knowledge, RNA studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with ovarian cancer (PMID: 26681312, 28888541, 29368626, 30322717). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of BRIP1 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 6 of the BRIP1 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in BRIP1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16116423, 17033622, 21964575). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 26270727, 26681312, 28888541, 32091409). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 136152). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. 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 pathogenic variant is denoted BRIP1 c.627+1G>A or IVS6+1G>A and consists of a G>A nucleotide substitution at the +1 position of intron 6 of the BRIP1 gene. The variant destroys a canonical splice donor site and is predicted to cause abnormal gene splicing, leading to either an abnormal message that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay or to an abnormal protein product. BRIP1 c.627+1 G>A was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature. Based on the current evidence, we consider BRIP1 c.627+1G>A to be pathogenic. BRIP1 has been only recently described in association with cancer predisposition and the risks are not well understood. The presence of a BRIP1 mutation may confer an increased risk for female breast cancer and ovarian cancer based on currently available data (Seal 2006, Rafnar 2011, Pennington 2014). In one case-control study, truncating BRIP1 mutations were identified in 9 out of 1,212 individuals previously diagnosed with breast cancer, from BRCA-negative families, and in 2 out of 2,081 controls, suggesting an increased risk for breast cancer (OR = 2.0) (Seal 2006). Of note, BRIP1 missense variants found in this study were not associated with cancer risk. A specific frameshift variant found in an Icelandic cohort was associated with an increased risk for both ovarian and pancreatic cancer, while another frameshift variant, found in a Spanish cohort, conferred an increased risk for both breast and ovarian cancer in a study looking at sequence variants and their association with these cancer types (Rafnar 2011). Pennington et al. (2014) also identified a germline BRIP1 mutation in 4 out of 367 patients, unselected for family history, who had a personal history of ovarian cancer, peritoneal cancer or fallopian tube cancer. Of note, it has been hypothesized that BRIP1 may be a low penetrance allele as families with multiple cases of breast cancer, found to harbor a BRIP1 mutation, have shown incomplete segregation with disease (Seal 2006).Fanconi Anemia (FA) is a rare autosomal recessive condition that can be caused by two mutations (one in each copy of the gene) mutations in the BRIP1 gene (Seal 2006). This condition is characterized physical abnormalities, bone marrow failure, an increased risk for malignancy in children including leukemia and certain solid tumors. The Fanconi Anemia phenotype due to BRIP1 mutations is thought to result in a lower rate of childhood solid tumors compared to the phenotype due to two BRCA2 variants (Apostolou 2013). If a BRIP1 mutation carrier'spartner also carries a BRIP1mutation, the risk to have a child with FA is 25% with each pregnancy. -
