Ambry Genetics | RCV000222074 | SCV000275063 | uncertain significance | Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome | 2015-04-09 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The p.G830R variant (also known as c.2488G>C), located in coding exon 16 of the BRIP1 gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 2488. The glycine at codon 830 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This variant was not reported in population based cohorts in the following databases: Database of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (dbSNP), NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP), and 1000 Genomes Project. In the ESP, this variant was not observed in 6503 samples (13006 alleles) with coverage at this position. To date, this alteration has been detected with an allele frequency of approximately 0.003% (greater than 40000 alleles tested) in our clinical cohort. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be probably damaging and deleterious by PolyPhen and SIFT in silico analyses, respectively. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of p.G830R remains unclear. |
