The NM_032043.3(BRIP1):c.1629-3T>C variant causes a splice region, splice polypyrimidine tract, intron change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000075 in 1,613,598 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 2/2 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars).
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.

BP4
?
BP4 - Multiple lines of computational evidence suggest no impact on gene or gene product (conservation, evolutionary, splicing impact, etc.)
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.68).

BP6 - Reputable source recently reports variant as benign, but the evidence is not available to the laboratory to perform an independent evaluation
Variant 17-61781008-A-G is Benign according to our data. Variant chr17-61781008-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 136144.We mark this variant Likely_benign, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_benign=4, Benign=1, Uncertain_significance=5}.
This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -

DNA sequence analysis of the BRIP1 gene demonstrated a sequence change in intron 11, c.1629-3T>C. This change does not appear to have been previously described in patients with BRIP1-related disorders. It has been described in the gnomAD database with a low overall frequency of 0.005% in general population and 0.011% in non-Finnish European sub population (dbSNP rs587780828). This sequence change is not clearly predicted to have a deleterious effect on splicing based on in silico splice prediction programs. It is possible that this sequence change represents a benign sequence change in the BRIP1 gene. The functional significance of this sequence change is not known at present and its contribution to this patient's disease phenotype cannot definitively be determined. -

Variant summary: BRIP1 c.1629-3T>C alters a non-conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. Consensus agreement among computation tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 5.6e-05 in 250982 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in BRIP1 causing Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (5.6e-05 vs 6.3e-05), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1629-3T>C has been reported in the literature in at least one individual affected with Ovarian Cancer (e.g. Delahunty_2022), and individuals affected with breast cancer, reported as a VUS (e.g. Guindalini_2022), all without evidence of causality. These report(s) 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: 35263119, 35264596, 31422574). Seven submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014, classifying the variant as uncertain significance (n=3) or likely benign (n=4). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

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. -

The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00011 (14/129050 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is uninformative in assessment of its pathogenicity. In the published literature, the variant has been reported in an individual without a cancer diagnosis undergoing whole-exome sequencing (WES) analysis for neurodevelopmental disorders (PMID: 31422574 (2019)). Analysis of this variant using software algorithms for the prediction of the effect of nucleotide changes on splicing yielded predictions that this variant does not affect BRIP1 mRNA splicing . Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -
