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 Uncertain_significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Fraction of 0.0581 CDS is truncated, and there are 0 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

This variant is denoted BRIP1 c.3532G>T at the cDNA level and p.Glu1178Ter (E1178X) at the protein level. The substitution creates a nonsense variant, which changes a Glutamic Acid to a premature stop codon (GAA>TAA).. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been reported in the literature. BRIP1 Glu1178Ter results in the loss of 72 amino acids at the end of the protein, which might affect normal function. However, due to the location of the newly created nonsense codon near the end of the gene in the last exon, the transcript is not expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay and could therefore encode a truncated protein that retains some normal function. In addition, this variant does not disrupt any known protein functional domains (UniProt). BRIP1 Glu1178Ter was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Based on currently available information, we consider BRIP1 Glu1178Ter to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.E1178* variant (also known as c.3532G>T), located in coding exon 19 of the BRIP1 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 3532. This changes the amino acid from a glutamic acid to a stop codon within coding exon 19. 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 impacts only the last 71 amino acids of the protein. The exact functional impact of these altered amino acids is unknown at this time. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
