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 p.Q540L variant (also known as c.1619A>T), located in coding exon 10 of the BRIP1 gene, results from an A to T substitution at nucleotide position 1619. The glutamine at codon 540 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration has been reported in 1/21 BRCA1/2-negative individuals with a personal and family history of breast cancer; however, it was not found in seven of the proband's relatives, including three relatives with breast cancer (Rutter JL et al. Hum. Mutat. 2003 Aug;22:121-8). This alteration has also been reported in a cohort of 48143 individuals diagnosed with invasive breast cancer before the age of 55 years and was not observed in 43608 control subjects (Easton DF et al. J. Med. Genet. 2016 May;53:298-309). In another study, this alteration was observed in 0/706 cases with ovarian cancer, 0/6,341 cases with breast cancer and in 1/36,687 controls (Weber-Lassalle N et al. Breast Cancer Res. 2018 Jan;20:7). In one study, this alteration was detected in 1/2160 early-onset breast cancer cases and 1/1,199 ovarian cancer cases; the patient with ovarian cancer also had a pathogenic alteration in BRCA1 or BRCA2 (Moyer CL et al. Cancer Res. 2020 Feb;80:857-867). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Variant summary: The BRIP1 c.1619A>T (p.Gln540Leu) variant involves the alteration of a conserved nucleotide and 2/4 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant (SNPsandGO not captured due to low reliability index). However, these predictions have yet to be functionally assessed. This variant was found in 7/349872 control chromosomes (gnomAD), predominantly observed in the Ashkenazi Jewish subpopulation at a frequency of 0.000712 (7/9838). This frequency is about 11 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic BRIP1 variant (0.0000625), suggesting this is likely a benign polymorphism found primarily in those of Ashkenazi Jewish origin. A publication, Rutter_2003, indicates the variant was found in a Breast Cancer family, which three affected family members did not carry the variant of interest showing lack of cosegregation. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as uncertain significance. Taken together, this variant is classified as a "Variant of Uncertain Significance - Possibly Benign." -
