Ambry Genetics | RCV000131417 | SCV000186395 | pathogenic | Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome | 2022-02-01 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The p.Y800* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.2400C>G), located in coding exon 16 of the BRIP1 gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 2400. This changes the amino acid from a tyrosine to a stop codon within coding exon 16. This mutation was reported in conjunction with a second truncating mutation in a Fanconi anemia type J (FA-J) patient (Levran O et al. Nat. Genet. 2005 Sep;37:931-3). This mutation has also been reported in individuals with a personal and/or family history of ovarian and/or breast cancer (Ramus SJ et al. J. Natl. Cancer Inst. 2015 Nov;107; Norquist BM et al. JAMA Oncol. 2016 Apr;2:482-90; Carter NJ et al. Gynecol Oncol, 2018 12;151:481-488; Meiss AE et al. Hum Pathol, 2018 12;82:20-31; Arvai KJ et al. Hered Cancer Clin Pract, 2019 Jul;17:19; Dorling et al. N Engl J Med. 2021 02;384:428-439). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, 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. |

Invitae | RCV000205848 | SCV000260437 | pathogenic | Familial cancer of breast; Fanconi anemia complementation group J | 2024-01-29 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr800*) 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 present in population databases (rs574552037, gnomAD 0.005%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with ovarian cancer and Fanconi anemia type J (PMID: 16116424, 26315354). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This variant is also known as 2541C>G. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142343). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. |

RCV000131417 | SCV000684211 | pathogenic | Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome | 2023-11-07 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 17 of the BRIP1 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in over 10 individuals affected with breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 26315354, 29368626, 29958926, 32359370) and peritoneal cancer (PMID: 26720728) and in one individual age 70 years or older without cancer in the FLOSSIES database. This variant has been detected in a breast cancer case-control meta-analysis in 7/60466 cases and 3/53461 unaffected individuals (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRIP1_000008). This variant has also been reported in the compound heterozygous state with a second BRIP1 mutation in an individual affected with Fanconi anemia (PMID: 16116424). This variant has been identified in 6/248886 chromosomes 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. |

RCV000588697 | SCV000699692 | pathogenic | Fanconi anemia complementation group J | 2021-06-16 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Variant summary: BRIP1 c.2400C>G (p.Tyr800X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.8e-05 in 360186 control chromosomes (gnomAD and publication data). This frequency is not higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in BRIP1 causing Fanconi Anemia Complementation Group J (2.8e-05 vs 0.0004), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. In addition, this variant has also been reported in 1 / 7325 European American woman who was older than age 70, and cancer free (in the FLOSSIES database). The variant, c.2400C>G, has been reported in the literature in a compound heterozygous individual affected with Fanconi Anemia Complementation Group J (FANCJ), who carried a pathogenic BRIP1 variant in trans (Levran_2005). In addition, the variant was also reported in heterozygous state in several individuals affected with ovarian cancer, breast cancer and other tumor phenotypes (e.g. Norquist_2016, Ramus_2015, Weber-Lassalle_2018, Susswein_2016). A recent large case-control study evaluating breast cancer (BrC) cases and controls in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC), reported no risk association with familial breast cancer for BRIP1 truncating variants (Dorling_2021). However, a recent meta-analysis found a moderate risk association for BRIP1 truncating variants (including the variant of interest) with ovarian cancer (overall odds ratio (OR) = 4.94, 95% CIs: 4.07-6.00, p <0.0001; Suszynska_2020). At least one publication reported lack of protein expression on immunoblot analysis in cells derived from a FANCJ patient, though the presence of a truncated protein couldn't be excluded, as the antibodies used bound the C terminus (Levran_2005). However, a truncating variant at this protein level (i.e. amino acid 800) is also expected to have a detrimental effect on protein function, as the BRCA1-BRIP1 interaction domain lies in residues 888-1063 (UniProt, PMID: 11301010). Five clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. |
