Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PVS1 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_032043.3(BRIP1):​c.1697_1698insTATATCAAATTGATATTTCAACAAC​(p.Lys567IlefsTer4) variant causes a frameshift, stop gained change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type INS_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. D566D) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Jan 15, 2020

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is located in the BRIP1 protein. Splice site prediction tools suggest that this variant may not impact RNA splicing. 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. -

Ambry Genetics

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.1697_1698ins25 variant, located in coding exon 11 of the BRIP1 gene, results from an insertion of 25 nucleotides at position 1697, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.K567Ifs*4). 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. -

Mar 11, 2016

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change inserts 25 nucleotides in exon 12 of the BRIP1 mRNA (c.1697_1698insTATATCAAATTGATATTTCAACAAC), causing a frameshift at codon 567. This creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys567Ilefs*4) and is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. While this particular variant has not been reported in the literature, truncating variants in BRIP1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16116423, 17033622, 21964575). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This insertion of 25 nucleotides in BRIP1 is denoted c.1697_1698ins25 at the cDNA level and p.Lys567IlefsX4 (K567IfsX4) at the protein level. The surrounding sequence is CAGA[ins25]CAAA. The insertion causes a frameshift, which changes a Lysine to an Isoleucine at codon 567 and creates a premature stop codon at position 4 of the new reading frame. Although this variant has not, to our knowledge, been reported in the literature, it is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Based on the currently available evidence, we consider this insertion to be pathogenic. -
