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 sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys1078*) in the BRIP1 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 172 amino acid(s) of the BRIP1 protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BRIP1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 186406). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. This variant disrupts the TopBP1-binding region of the BRIP1 protein, which plays a critical role in RPA chromatin loading and the activation of the replication checkpoint in response to DNA damage (PMID: 20159562, 21127055). While functional studies have not been performed to directly test the effect of this variant on BRIP1 protein function, this suggests that disruption of this region of the protein is causative of disease. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

The p.K1078* variant, (also known as c.3232A>T) located in coding exon 19 of the BRIP1 gene, results from an A to T substitution at nucleotide position 3232. This changes the amino acid at codon 1078 from a lysine to a stop codon. Premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature, however, this stop codon occurs at the 3' terminus of BRIP1, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and removes the last 171 amino acids of the protein. The exact functional impact of these removed amino acids is unknown at this time; however, the C-terminal region of the protein has been shown by structural, biochemical, and mutational analysis to be relevant for the protein function (Leung CC et al. J. Biol. Chem. 2011 Feb; 286(6):4292-301. Xie J et al. PLoS Genet. 2012 Jul; 8(7):e1002786; Gong Z et al. Mol. Cell, 2010 Feb;37:438-46). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
