Description

The p.T1013A variant (also known as c.3037A>G), located in coding exon 19 of the BRIP1 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 3037. The threonine at codon 1013 is replaced by alanine, an amino acid with similar 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 0.001% (greater than 175000 alleles tested) in our clinical cohort. Based on protein sequence alignment, this amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of p.T1013A remains unclear.
