Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The ENST00000259008.7(BRIP1):​c.46del​(p.Tyr16ThrfsTer13) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. Y16Y) has been classified as Likely benign.

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.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant located near the start codon (<100nt), not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 424 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 17-61861493-TA-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-61861493-TA-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 233747.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Submissions by phenotype

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Jan 15, 2020	This variant deletes 1 nucleotide in exon 2 of the BRIP1 gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has not been identified 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. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	May 12, 2022	The c.46delT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 1 of the BRIP1 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 46, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.Y16Tfs*13). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr16Thrfs*13) 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 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: 233747). RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this premature translational stop signal on mRNA splicing indicates it does not significantly alter splicing (Invitae). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

This frameshifting variant in exon 2 of 20 introduces a premature stop codon and is therefore predicted to result in loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). This variant has not been previously reported or functionally characterized in the literature to our knowledge. However, loss-of-function variants in BRIP1 are an established mechanism of disease (PMID: 16116423, 17033622, 21964575). It is absent from the gnomAD population database and thus is presumed to be rare. Based on the available evidence, the c.46del (p.Tyr16ThrfsTer13) variant is classified as Pathogenic. -
