Description
This pathogenic variant is denoted BRIP1 c.2255_2256delAA at the cDNA level and p.Lys752ArgfsX12 (K752RfsX12) at the protein level. The normal sequence, with the bases that are deleted in brackets, is GAGA[delAA]Ggta, where the capital letters are exonic and lowercase are intronic. The deletion causes a frameshift, which changes a Lysine to an Arginine at codon 752, and creates a premature stop codon at position 12 of the new reading frame. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. BRIP1 c.2255_2256delAA, also reported as BRIP1 c.2255delAA, has been observed in individuals with breast and/or ovarian cancer as well as in the compound heterozygous state in an individual with Fanconi Anemia (Levitus 2005, Seal 2006, Ramus 2015, Tung 2016). We consider this variant to be pathogenic.
