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.

This variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with ovarian cancer (PMID: 26315354 (2015)), breast cancer (PMID: 26786923 (2016), 26921362 (2016), 36551643 (2022)), colorectal cancer (PMID: 28135145 (2017), 29478780 (2018)), pancreatic cancer (PMID: 29922827 (2018), 32885271 (2021)), a Lynch syndrome-associated cancer (PMID: 30254378 (2019)), prostate cancer (PMID: 31214711 (2020)), and gastric adenocarcinoma (PMID: 32963463 (2020)). This variant is also reported in unaffected individuals (PMID: 26786923 (2016), 26921362 (2016), 30254378 (2019)). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingKCCC/NGS Laboratory, Kuwait Cancer Control CenterJun 01, 2023A known pathogenic mutation was detected in the BRIPI gene (c.2990_2993delCAAA).This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Thr997Argfs*61) in the BRIPI gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 253 amino acid(s) of the BRIPI protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs771028677, gnomAD 0.006%). It has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Breast and Ovarian, Pancreatic and Prostate Cancer (Thompson 2016, Ramus 2015, Easton 2016, Lerner-ElIis_202I, Nguyen-Dumont_2021). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 234281). This variant disrupts a region of the BRIPI protein in which other variant(s) (p.Lys998Glufs*60) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 18628483). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be diseasecausing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMay 16, 2024The c.2990_2993delCAAA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 19 of the BRIP1 gene, results from a deletion of four nucleotides between nucleotide positions 2990 and 2993, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.T997Rfs*61). This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of theBRIP1 gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and impacts the last 253 amino acids of the protein. Premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature, and the C-terminal region of the protein has been shown by structural, biochemical, and mutational analysis to be relevant for the protein function (Gong Z et al. Mol. Cell, 2010 Feb;37:438-46; Leung CC et al. J. Biol. Chem. 2011 Feb; 286(6):4292-301; Xie J et al. PLoS Genet. 2012 Jul; 8(7):e1002786). This deletion has been identified in patients with a personal or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (Ramus SJ et al. J. Natl. Cancer Inst. 2015 Nov;107; Easton DF et al. J Med Genet, 2016 05;53:298-309; Thompson ER et al. J Clin Oncol, 2016 May;34:1455-9) and has also been identified in controls or healthy individuals (Easton DF et al. J Med Genet, 2016 05;53:298-309; Thompson ER et al. J Clin Oncol, 2016 May;34:1455-9; Rowley SM et al. Genet Med, 2019 04;21:913-922). This variant has also been reported in a Japanese patient with prostate cancer (Momozawa Y et al. J Natl Cancer Inst, 2020 04;112:369-376), a Han Chinese patient with gastric adenocarcinoma (Ji K et al. Chin J Cancer Res, 2020 Aug;32:508-515), a patient with pancreatic cancer (Hu C et al. JAMA, 2018 06;319:2401-2409), and in individuals affected with colorectal cancer (Yurgelun MB et al. J Clin Oncol, 2017 Apr;35:1086-1095; AlDubayan SH et al. Am J Hum Genet, 2018 03;102:401-414). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthJun 27, 2023This variant deletes 4 nucleotides in exon 20 of the BRIP1 gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal in the last exon. This variant is expected to escape nonsense-mediated decay and be expressed as a truncated protein that lacks the functional domains involved in BRCA1-binding, DNA damage and replication stress responses and attenuation of DNA damage tolerance pathway (PMID: 11301010, 14983014, 20159562, 20173781, 22792074). Although functional studies have not been reported for this variant, it is expected to impair BRIP1 protein function. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 26921362, 36551643; Ma et al, 2019; Color Health internal data), in an individual with family history of breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 26315354; Color Health internal data), in individuals affected with colorectal cancer (PMID: 28135145, 29478780, 30675318), in an individual affected with pancreatic cancer (PMID: 32885271), in an individual affected with prostate cancer (PMID: 31214711), and in individuals unaffected with breast cancer (PMID: 26921362, 30254378). This variant has been identified in 8/250982 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 Likely Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpOct 24, 2022Variant summary: BRIP1 c.2990_2993delCAAA (p.Thr997ArgfsX61) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.9e-05 in 254976 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in BRIP1 causing Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (3.9e-05 vs 6.3e-05), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.2990_2993delCAAA has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Breast and Ovarian, Pancreatic and Prostate Cancer (Thompson 2016, Ramus 2015, Easton 2016, Lerner-Ellis_2021, Nguyen-Dumont_2021). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. 14 clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
