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.

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 20 of the BRIP1 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal in the last coding exon. This mutant transcript is predicted to escape nonsense-mediated decay and be expressed as a truncated protein missing the last 173 amino acids from the C-terminus. The truncated protein is expected to disrupt the TopBP1 binding region and an acetylation site in the C-terminus of the BRIP1 protein, which have been reported to play an important role in DNA replication-stress response and maintaining genomic stability (PMID: 20159562, 21127055, 22792074). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals affected with BRIP1-related disorders in the literature. 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. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.L1077* variant (also known as c.3230T>G), located in coding exon 19 of the BRIP1 gene, results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 3230. This changes the amino acid from a leucine to a stop codon within coding exon 19. This stop codon occurs near the 3' terminus of BRIP1, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and removes the last 173 amino acids of the protein. The exact functional impact of these removed amino acids is unknown. While the C-terminal region of the BRIP1 protein has been shown by structural, biochemical, and mutational analysis to be relevant for some aspects of BRIP1 protein function (Gong Z et al. Mol. Cell, 2010 Feb;37:438-46; Leung CC et al. J. Biol. Chem. 2011 Feb; 286(6):4292-301; Xie J et al. PLoS Genet. 2012 Jul; 8(7):e1002786), functional studies have shown that truncations in the 3' terminus of BRIP1 display normal function in response to intra-strand cross-linking agents (Calvo JA et al. Mol Cancer Res, 2021 Jun;19:1015-1025). In addition, 3' truncations in BRIP1 occurring upstream of this variant have been detected in the homozygous or compound heterozygous state in individuals with no reported features of BRIP1-related Fanconi Anemia (FA-J) (Ambry internal data). Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu1077*) in the BRIP1 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 173 amino acid(s) of the BRIP1 protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BRIP1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 530304). This variant disrupts the TopBP1-binding region of the BRIP1 protein, which plays a critical role in RPA chromatin loading and the activation of the replication checkpoint in response to DNA damage (PMID: 20159562, 21127055). While functional studies have not been performed to directly test the effect of this variant on BRIP1 protein function, this suggests that disruption of this region of the protein is causative of disease. 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. -
