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 sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 266 of the BRIP1 protein (p.Thr266Met). This amino acid position is highly conserved ( PhyloP=9.12) . This variant is present in population databases (rs550031006, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with prostate cancer (PMID: 31214711). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 128196). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging").Functional studies have not been performed for this variant. 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. -

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

This missense variant replaces threonine with methionine at codon 266 of the BRIP1 protein. Computational prediction tools are inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function. A functional study showed that this variant conferred sensitivity to inter-strand DNA crosslinks (ICLs) inducing agents, Mitomycin C and Cisplatin (DOI: 10.1101/2023.07.03.23290133). This variant has been reported in individuals affected with a personal and/or family history of breast cancer or ovarian cancer (PMID: 33471991, 33910496, 34570441, 35957908; DOI: 10.1101/2023.07.03.23290133) as well as in unaffected controls (PMID: 26921362, 31214711, 33471991). This variant has been identified in 15/282446 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.T266M variant (also known as c.797C>T), located in coding exon 6 of the BRIP1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 797. The threonine at codon 266 is replaced by methionine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant was identified in a Brazilian breast cancer patient (Gifoni ACLVC et al. Front Oncol, 2022 Jul;12:932957). In one study, this alteration was reported in 1/5242 control individuals and was not observed in 13213 breast cancer cases (Easton DF et al. J Med Genet, 2016 05;53:298-309). This alteration has also been reported with a carrier frequency of 0.00039 in 7636 unselected prostate cancer patients and 0.0004 in 12366 male controls of Japanese ancestry (Momozawa Y et al. J Natl Cancer Inst, 2020 04;112:369-376). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 266 of the BRIP1 protein (p.Thr266Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs550031006, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer and/or prostate cancer (PMID: 30306255, 31214711, 33910496, 34570441, 35957908). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 128196). 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. 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. -

Functional studies suggest a damaging effect: loss of BRIP1 wildtype function upon exposure to MMC and cisplatin (Milano et al. 2023); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 26921362, 26401016, 31214711, 33120919, 33471991, Milano2023[Pre-Print], 36243179, 35957908) -

Variant summary: BRIP1 c.797C>T (p.Thr266Met) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the RAD3-like helicase, DEAD domain (IPR010614) 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 5.2e-05 in 251066 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in BRIP1 causing Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (5.2e-05 vs 6.3e-05), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.797C>T has been reported in the literature, primarily as a VUS in settings of multigene panel testing, in individuals affected with breast cancer and/or other cancers associated with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (e.g. Bonache_2018, Zanti_2020, Momozawa_2020, Dong_2021, Gifoni_2022). However it has also been reported in healthy control individuals (e.g. Easton_2016, Weitzel_2019, Momozawa_2020). Therefore, these reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. 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: 30306255, 34570441, 35957908, 31206626, 33120919, 26921362, 31214711). Eleven submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The BRIP1 c.797C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Thr266Met. This variant has been reported in cases and controls from a prostate cancer cohort study (Table S6, Momozawa et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 31214711) and in single control individuals from two breast cancer cohort studies (Table S1, Easton et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26921362; Table S3, Weitzel et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31206626). This variant is reported in 0.0097% of alleles in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent in gnomAD. In ClinVar, this variant is classified as uncertain significance (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/128196/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
