Description

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid with alanine at codon 1027 of the BRIP1 protein (p.Glu1027Ala). The glutamic acid residue is weakly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between glutamic acid and alanine. This variant has not been published in the literature and is not present in population databases. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies. In summary, this is a novel missense change that is not predicted to affect protein function or cause disease. However the evidence is insufficient at this time to prove that conclusively. It has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
