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.

Collection Method:clinical testing

This nonsense variant causes the premature termination of BRIP1 protein synthesis. The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000046 (6/129134 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is consistent with pathogenicity. In the published literature, the variant has been reported in individuals with ovarian cancer (PMIDs: 30322717 (2018), 26720728 (2016), 26315354 (2015), 24448499 (2014)), breast cancer (PMIDs: 32427313 (2020), 26921362 (2016), 26786923 (2016)), endometrial cancer (PMID: 30612635 (2019)), and renal cell carcinoma (PMID: 32830346 (2021)). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

DNA sequence analysis of the BRIP1 gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.1871C>A, which results in the creation of a premature stop codon at amino acid position 624, p.Ser624*. This sequence change is predicted to result in an abnormal transcript, which may be degraded, or may lead to the production of a truncated BRIP1 protein with potentially abnormal function. This sequence change has been described in the gnomAD database with a frequency of 0.0046% in the non-Finnish European subpopulation (dbSNP rs587781321). This sequence change has previously been described in multiple individuals with ovarian cancer and breast cancer (PMID: 30322717, 32359370, 26720728, 26786923, 26921362, 29625052, 26315354). Loss of function variants are known to be pathogenic in BRIP1 and occur both upstream and downstream of the p.Ser624* variant. Based on these evidences, this sequence change is classified as pathogenic. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 13 of the BRIP1 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 26315354, 26689913, 26720728, 26786923, 26921362, 29625052, 30322717). This variant has been identified in 7/282740 chromosomes 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 Pathogenic. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.S624* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1871C>A), located in coding exon 12 of the BRIP1 gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 1871. This changes the amino acid from a serine to a stop codon within coding exon 12. This alteration has been reported in 1/429 ovarian cancer cases and 0/557 controls (Kanchi KL et al. Nat Commun. 2014;5:3156), in 2/2000 women with hereditary breast cancer and 0/1997 controls (Thompson ER et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 2016 May;34:1455-9), and in a patient diagnosed with serous ovarian cancer at age 68 (Norquist BM et al. JAMA Oncol, 2016 Apr;2:482-90). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

Variant summary: BRIP1 c.1871C>A (p.Ser624X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2e-05 in 255438 control chromosomes. The variant, c.1871C>A, has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with breast- and/or ovarian cancer (eg. Kanchi_2014, LaDuca_2014, Ramus_2015, Thompson_2016, Huang_2018, etc). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Eight clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser624*) in the BRIP1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in BRIP1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16116423, 17033622, 21964575). This variant is present in population databases (rs587781321, gnomAD 0.004%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer and ovarian cancer (PMID: 26315354, 26720728, 26921362). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 140852). Studies have shown that this premature translational stop signal is associated with altered splicing resulting in multiple RNA products (internal data). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

This nonsense variant found in exon 13 of 20 is predicted to result in loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). The c.1871C>A (p.Ser624Ter) variant has been previously reported as a heterozygous change in multiple unrelated individuals with ovarian cancer (PMID: 26315354, 26720728, 24763289, 30322717, 29625052), breast cancer (PMID: 26921362), and endometrial cancer (PMID: 30612635). It is present in the heterozygous state in the gnomAD population database at a frequency of 0.002% (7/282740) and thus is presumed to be rare. Based on the available evidence, the c.1871C>A (p.Ser624Ter) variant is classified as Pathogenic. -
