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.

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces histidine with tyrosine at codon 1088 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 individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 32885271, 33606809), an individual affected with Lynch syndrome-associated cancer and/or polyps (PMID: 25980754), and an individual referred for genetic testing (PMID: 31159747). This variant has been identified in 1/250864 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. -

The missense variant NM_032043.3(BRIP1):c.3262C>T (p.His1088Tyr) has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. There is a moderate physicochemical difference between histidine and tyrosine. The gene BRIP1 has a low rate of benign missense variation as indicated by a high missense variants Z-Score of 2.45. The p.His1088Tyr missense variant is predicted to be tolerated by both SIFT or PolyPhen2. The tyrosine residue at codon 1088 of BRIP1 is present in Mouse and 2 other mammalian species. The nucleotide c.3262 in BRIP1 is not conserved according to a GERP++ and PhyloP analysis of 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Uncertain Significance -

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1088 of the BRIP1 protein (p.His1088Tyr). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of BRIP1-related conditions (PMID: 25980754, 31159747). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 241654). 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 95%. 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. -

The BRIP1 c.3262C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.His1088Tyr. This variant has been reported in four apparently unique individuals referred for breast cancer or hereditary cancer panel testing; however, these studies did not provide additional evidence to support pathogenicity (Tsaousis et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31159747; Yurgelun et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25980754; Lerner-Ellis et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 32885271; Sandoval et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 33606809). This variant is reported in 0.00088% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/17-59761145-G-A), and it is interpreted as a variant of uncertain significance by several submitters to ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/241654/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

The BRIP1 p.His1088Tyr variant was identified in 1 of 2520 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0004) from individuals or families with Lynch syndrome (Yurgelun 2015). The variant was also identified in the following databases: dbSNP (ID: rs878855154) as "With Uncertain significance allele", ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by Invitae, Ambry Genetics and GeneKor). It was identified in control databases in 1 of 246028 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000004 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the European population in 1 of 111500 chromosomes (freq: 0.000009); it was not observed in the African, Other, Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, Finnish, or South Asian populations. The p.His1088 residue is not conserved in mammals and 5 of 5 computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -
