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.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthOct 18, 2023This variant causes an A to G nucleotide substitution at the canonical -2 position of intron 3 splice acceptor site of the BRIP1 gene. Splice site prediction tools predict that this variant may have a significant impact on RNA splicing. An RNA study at an external laboratory has shown that this variant results in abnormal splicing in clinical samples tested and is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product (ClinVar SCV000217950.5). A subsequent RNA study has shown that this variant results in transcripts with an in-frame deletion of 3 or 4 amino acids, and functional consequence of these alternate transcripts is not clear (ClinVar SCV000217950.5). This variant has been observed in individuals affected with breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 26720728, 29368626; Color internal data) and in an unaffected individual (PMID: 32522261). This variant has been identified in 1/250636 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Due to the contradictory RNA study results, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJul 18, 2023The c.206-2A>G intronic variant results from an A to G substitution two nucleotides upstream from coding exon 3 in the BRIP1 gene. In one study of 1915 women with ovarian cancer, who were unselected for age at diagnosis or family history, this variant was reported in a patient with serous ovarian cancer diagnosed at age 61 (Norquist BM et al. JAMA Oncol. 2016 Apr;2:482-90).This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice acceptor site and will result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice acceptor site. RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in a transcript predicted to lead to proteins with an in-frame deletion of 3 amino acids and 4 amino acids; however, the exact functional impact of the deleted amino acids are unknown at this time (Ambry internal data). Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Familial cancer of breast;C1836860:Fanconi anemia complementation group J Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 08, 2023This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 3 of the BRIP1 gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and likely results in two alternative in-frame transcripts. These alternative transcripts, one with a loss of 3 amino acid residues and the other with a loss of 4 amino acid residues, are expected to preserve the integrity of the reading-frame and as such, their functional consequence cannot be determined. This variant is present in population databases (rs786203700, gnomAD 0.0009%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with ovarian cancer and breast cancer (PMID: 26720728, 32522261). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 187396). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in the activation of two different cryptic splice sites in exon 4, but the impact on the resulting protein products is unknown (Invitae). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
