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.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Met1244Valfs*5) in the BRIP1 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 6 amino acid(s) of the BRIP1 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs730881646, gnomAD 0.03%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with prostate or renal cancer (PMID: 29356034, 29625052, 36451132). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 182368). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this premature translational stop signal on mRNA splicing indicates it does not significantly alter splicing (internal data). 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. -

This variant deletes 2 nucleotides in the last exon of the BRIP1 gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This mutant transcript is predicted to escape nonsense-mediated decay and be expressed as a truncated protein. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with childhood acute myeloid leukemia, kidney renal clear cell carcinoma, and prostate cancer (PMID: 34521114, 36451132, 38748947). This variant has been identified in 7/281774 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of BRIP1 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). 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. -

The c.3730_3731delAT variant, located in coding exon 19 of the BRIP1 gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 3730 to 3731, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.M1244Vfs*5). This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of theBRIP1 gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNAdecay, and only impacts the last 6 amino acids of the protein. The exact functional effect of this alteration is unknown, however, functional studies suggest that at least one residue contained in this deleted region (Lys1249) has functional importance (Xie J et al. PLoS Genet. Jul 2012; 8(7): e1002786). This alteration has been reported in multiple individuals diagnosed with prostate cancer (Beebe-Dimmer JL et al Prostate. 2018 04;78(5):321-326; Manneh R et al. JCO Precis Oncol, 2024 May;8:e2300628). This alteration was also reported in an individual with clear cell renal carcinoma (Huang KL et al. Cell, 2018 04;173:355-370.e14). Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
