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.

The BRIP1 c.2563C>T; p.Arg855Cys variant (rs146031731) is reported in the literature in an individual with breast cancer (Tung 2015), and in a family with breast/ovarian cancer, however, this family also carried a pathogenic frameshift variant in BRCA2 giving supporting evidence the BRIP1 variant may be benign (Li 2016). The p.Arg855Cys variant is also reported in the ClinVar database (Variation ID: 216789). It is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.002% (5/282696 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The arginine at codon 855 is weakly conserved, but computational analyses (SIFT, PolyPhen-2) predict that this variant may be deleterious. Based on available information, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain at this time. REFERENCES Li J et al.

The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000023 (3/129040 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is uninformative in assessment of its pathogenicity. In the published literature, the variant has been reported in an individual affected with breast cancer (PMID: 25186627 (2015)) and in a breast cancer family who also carried the pathogenic BRCA2 c.51_52delAC, p.Arg18Leufs*12 variant (PMID: 26534844 (2016)). The variant has also been reported in unaffected individuals (PMIDs: 26315354 (2015) and 33471991 (2021), see also http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/BRIP1)). Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is benign or damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

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

This sequence change replaces arginine with cysteine at codon 855 of the BRIP1 protein (p.Arg855Cys). The arginine residue is weakly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between arginine and cysteine. This variant is present in population databases (rs146031731, ExAC 0.02%). This variant has been observed in individuals with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 25186627, 26534844, Invitae). However, in one of these individuals, a pathogenic allele was also identified in BRIP1, which suggests that this c.2563C>T variant was not the primary cause of disease. Additionally, in one family, a pathogenic allele was also identified in BRCA2. This variant has also been observed in an unaffected control individual (PMID: 26315354). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 216789) with 8 submissions. In-silico predictions show pathogenic computational verdict based on 11 pathogenic predictions from BayesDel_addAF, DANN, DEOGEN2, EIGEN, FATHMM-MKL, LIST-S2, M-CAP, MVP, MutationAssessor, MutationTaster and SIFT vs 1 benign prediction from PrimateAI. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

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

This missense variant replaces arginine with cysteine at codon 855 of the BRIP1 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in a family affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome who also carried a pathogenic BRCA2 truncation variant (PMID: 26534844). This variant has been identified in 5/282696 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 p.R855C variant (also known as c.2563C>T), located in coding exon 17 of the BRIP1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2563. The arginine at codon 855 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This alteration has been identified in individuals diagnosed with ovarian, breast and/or prostate cancer (Ramus SJ et al. J Natl Cancer Inst, 2015 Nov;107:; Tung N et al. Cancer, 2015 Jan;121:25-33; Matejcic M et al. JCO Precis Oncol, 2020 Jan;4:32-43). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

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

Variant summary: BRIP1 c.2563C>T (p.Arg855Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the ATP-dependent helicase, C-terminal of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.9e-05 in 258180 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.2563C>T has been reported in the literature in one individual with breast cancer (Tung_2015) and in a breast cancer family who also carried pathogenic BRCA2 c.51_52delAC, p.Arg18Leufs*12 (Li_2016). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 26315354, 25186627, 26534844). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 216789). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 855 of the BRIP1 protein (p.Arg855Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs146031731, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 25186627, 26534844). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 216789). 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) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on BRIP1 protein function. RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this missense change 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. -
