This missense variant replaces histidine with proline at codon 478 of the BRIP1 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. In a large breast cancer case-control study, this variant was observed in 2/60464 cases and was absent in any controls (PMID: 33471991). This variant has been identified in 1/244232 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 478 of the BRIP1 protein (p.His478Pro). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 34326862). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 919766). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on BRIP1 protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
Clinical Statement
This variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (4 clinical laboratories).

VCEP Guidelines
Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria (VCEP Specific)
PVS1
PVS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PVS1 is: "Null variant in a gene where loss of function (LoF) is a known mechanism of disease (e.g., nonsense, frameshift, canonical ±1 or 2 splice sites, initiation codon, single or multi-exon deletion in a LoF gene)". The evidence for this variant shows: it is a missense variant (H478P), not a null variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because the variant type does not meet the rule.
PS1
PS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS1 is: "Same amino acid change as a known pathogenic variant but different nucleotide change". The evidence for this variant shows: no previously established pathogenic variant with the H478P amino acid change. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS2
PS2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS2 is: "De novo (both maternity and paternity confirmed) in a patient with the disease and no family history". The evidence for this variant shows: no data on de novo occurrence. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS3
PS3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS3 is: "Well-established functional studies supportive of a damaging effect on the gene or gene product". The evidence for this variant shows: no functional studies have been performed. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS4
PS4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS4 is: "Prevalence in affected individuals significantly increased compared with controls". The evidence for this variant shows: no case-control or patient prevalence data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM1
PM1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM1 is: "Located in a mutational hot spot or well-established functional domain without benign variation". The evidence for this variant shows: no information on localization to a mutational hotspot or critical domain. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM2
PM2 (Moderate)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM2 is: "Absent from controls (or at extremely low frequency if recessive)". The evidence for this variant shows: MAF = 0.000409% in gnomAD and absence of homozygotes, indicating extreme rarity. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Moderate strength because the variant is absent or at extremely low frequency in population databases.
PM3
PM3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM3 is: "Detected in trans with a pathogenic variant (for recessive disorders)". The evidence for this variant shows: no data on allele phase or presence of a second pathogenic variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM4
PM4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM4 is: "Protein length changes due to in-frame deletions/insertions or stop-loss variants". The evidence for this variant shows: it is a missense substitution, not an in-frame indel or stop-loss. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM5
PM5 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM5 is: "Novel missense change at an amino acid residue where a different pathogenic missense change has been seen". The evidence for this variant shows: no other pathogenic missense changes reported at residue H478. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM6
PM6 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM6 is: "Assumed de novo, but without confirmation of paternity and maternity". The evidence for this variant shows: no de novo data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP1
PP1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP1 is: "Co-segregation with disease in multiple affected family members". The evidence for this variant shows: no familial segregation data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP2
PP2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP2 is: "Missense variant in a gene with a low rate of benign missense variation and where missense variants are a common mechanism of disease". The evidence for this variant shows: insufficient data on overall missense constraint and disease mechanism in BRIP1. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP3
PP3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP3 is: "Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene/gene product". The evidence for this variant shows: in silico predictions are mixed, not consistently deleterious. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP4
PP4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP4 is: "Patient's phenotype or family history highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology". The evidence for this variant shows: no phenotype or clinical data provided. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP5
