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 BRIP1 c.633delT; p.Gly212AlafsTer62 variant (rs779466229) is reported in the literature in individuals from breast and/or ovarian cancer cohorts (Mannan 2016, Singh 2018). This variant is also reported as pathogenic in ClinVar (Variation ID: 232527). It is found in the general population with a low overall allele frequency of 0.002% (4/249344 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. This variant causes a frameshift by deleting a single nucleotide, so it is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. REFERENCES Mannan AU et al.

The BRIP1 c.633del (p.Gly212Alafs*62) variant alters the translational reading frame of the BRIP1 mRNA and causes the premature termination of BRIP1 protein synthesis. This variant has been reported in the published literature in affected individuals with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMIDs: 26911350 (2016) and 29470806 (2018)), as well as in a breast cancer case and control individuals in a large scale breast cancer association study (PMID: 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/BRIP1)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000035 (4/112786 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is consistent with pathogenicity. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gly212Alafs*62) in the BRIP1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in BRIP1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16116423, 17033622, 21964575). This variant is present in population databases (rs779466229, gnomAD 0.004%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 26911350, 29470806). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 232527). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.633delT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 6 of the BRIP1 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 633, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.G212Afs*62). This mutation has been reported in an individual diagnosed with ovarian cancer and with a family history including breast cancer (Mannan AU et al. J. Hum. Genet. 2016 Jun;61:515-22). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, 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. -
