Description

The p.E1145D variant (also known as c.3435A>C), located in coding exon 19 of the BRIP1 gene, results from an A to C substitution at nucleotide position 3435. The glutamic acid at codon 1145 is replaced by aspartic acid, an amino acid with highly 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 6502 samples (13004 alleles) with coverage at this position. To date, this alteration has been detected with an allele frequency of approximately 0.002% (greater than 65000alleles tested) in our clinical cohort.This amino acid position is 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.E1145Dremains unclear.
