Is BRIP1 p.Phe591= (c.1773T>C) pathogenic?

BRIP1 p.Phe591= (c.1773T>C) is classified Benign/Likely benign in BRIP1 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 6 submitters; last evaluated 2025-12-10). Very rare (popmax 0.00305%, nfe); Associated with hereditary breast carcinoma.

What condition is associated with BRIP1 p.Phe591= (c.1773T>C)?

BRIP1 p.Phe591= (c.1773T>C) is associated with hereditary breast carcinoma, Fanconi anemia complementation group J, hereditary neoplastic syndrome (ClinVar).

How common is BRIP1 p.Phe591= (c.1773T>C) in the general population?

BRIP1 p.Phe591= (c.1773T>C) is very rare (popmax 0.00305%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Hereditary breast cancer inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant, Multigenic/multifactorial (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

Rarity supports pathogenicity (ACMG PM2); frequency above a disease-specific BA1/BS1 threshold argues against it. A variant frequent in one ancestry group can be near-absent in others, so a single global figure can mislead.
