Familial cancer of breast;C1836860:Fanconi anemia complementation group J Pathogenic:1
This sequence change replaces glutamine, which is neutral and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 169 of the BRIP1 protein (p.Gln169His). RNA analysis indicates that this missense change induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. 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: 530347). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this missense change results in skipping of exon 5 and introduces a premature termination codon (Invitae). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. 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. -
Familial cancer of breast Pathogenic:1
This variant is considered likely pathogenic. mRNA analysis has demonstrated abnormal mRNA splicing occurs [Myriad internal data]. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
The c.507G>T variant (also known as p.Q169H), located in coding exon 4 of the BRIP1 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 507. The amino acid change results in glutamine to histidine at codon 169, an amino acid with highly similar properties. However, this change occurs in the last base pair of coding exon 4, which makes it likely to have some effect on normal mRNA splicing. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site; however direct evidence is insufficient at this time (Ambry internal data). Another alteration impacting the same donor site (c.507G>A) has been shown to lead to exon 5 skipping resulting in transcript with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.S128*) (Weber-Lassalle N et al. Breast Cancer Res. 2018 Jan;20:7; Suszynska M et al. J Ovarian Res. 2020 May;13:50, Ambry internal data). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
not provided Uncertain:1
Not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports that this variant does not alter protein structure/function; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge -
