Familial cancer of breast;C1836860:Fanconi anemia complementation group J Pathogenic:2
This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg162*) in the BRIP1 gene. RNA analysis indicates that this premature translational stop signal induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or altered protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs747604569, gnomAD 0.007%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 25980754). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 186411). Studies have shown that this premature translational stop signal results in skipping of exon 5, and produces a non-functional protein and/or introduces a premature termination codon (internal data). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

not provided Pathogenic:2
The BRIP1 c.484C>T (p.Arg162*) variant causes the premature termination of BRIP1 protein synthesis. This variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 35734982 (2022), 33471991 (2021), 31742824 (2020), 30130155 (2018), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared)), prostate cancer (PMID: 31214711 (2020)), colorectal cancer (PMID: 32658311 (2021)), and a Lynch syndrome associated cancer and/or polyps (PMID: 25980754 (2018)). This variant has also been observed in reportedly healthy individuals (PMID: 36243179 (2022)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000008 (2/251320 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is consistent with pathogenicity. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss of function is a known mechanism of disease; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 35734982, 36243179, 25980754, 32658311, 31214711, 31742824, 25646469, 32829589, 29922827, 32756499, 30130155) -
Familial cancer of breast Pathogenic:2
This variant is considered pathogenic. This variant creates a termination codon and is predicted to result in premature protein truncation. -
- -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2
This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 5 of the BRIP1 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with ovarian cancer, breast cancer, melanoma, and Lynch syndrome-associated cancer and/or polyps (PMID: 25980754, 31745173, 32756499, 35734982). This variant has also been identified in 2/251320 chromosomes 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 Pathogenic. -
The p.R162* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.484C>T), located in coding exon 4 of the BRIP1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 484. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 4. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
BRIP1-related disorder Pathogenic:1
The BRIP1 c.484C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Arg162*). This variant has been reported in individual(s) with personal history of Lynch syndrome or colorectal cancer (for example, Supplemental Table 1, Yurgelun et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25980754; Table S5, Akcay et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32658311). This variant has also been reported in individual(s) with breast cancer or family history of breast cancer (for example, Table S1, Zheng et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 30130155; Table S1, Shao et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31742824). This variant is reported in 0.0062% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/186411/). Nonsense variants in BRIP1 are considered pathogenic. In summary, this variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Pathogenic:1
Variant summary: The BRIP1 c.484C>T (p.Arg162X) variant results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncated or absent BRIP1 protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory (e.g.c.1871C>A/p.S624X). One in silico tool predicts a damaging outcome for this variant. This variant was found in 1/121388 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000082, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic BRIP1 variant (0.0000625). This variant has been reported in one suspected LS patient and B cell lymphoma sample. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories classified this variant as pathogenic, without evidence to independently evaluate. Taken together, this variant is classified as likely pathogenic until more information becomes available. -
