Genes affected
BARD1 (HGNC:952): (BRCA1 associated RING domain 1) This gene encodes a protein which interacts with the N-terminal region of BRCA1. In addition to its ability to bind BRCA1 in vivo and in vitro, it shares homology with the 2 most conserved regions of BRCA1: the N-terminal RING motif and the C-terminal BRCT domain. The RING motif is a cysteine-rich sequence found in a variety of proteins that regulate cell growth, including the products of tumor suppressor genes and dominant protooncogenes. This protein also contains 3 tandem ankyrin repeats. The BARD1/BRCA1 interaction is disrupted by tumorigenic amino acid substitutions in BRCA1, implying that the formation of a stable complex between these proteins may be an essential aspect of BRCA1 tumor suppression. This protein may be the target of oncogenic mutations in breast or ovarian cancer. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 21, 2024This sequence change replaces asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 118 of the BARD1 protein (p.Asn118Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs142864491, gnomAD 0.009%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BARD1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 127738). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Not Available"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Not Available". The serine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect BARD1 function (PMID: 30925164). RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this missense change on mRNA splicing indicates it does not significantly alter splicing (Invitae). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpOct 22, 2018Variant summary: BARD1 c.353A>G (p.Asn118Ser) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.7e-05 in 276666 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in BARD1 causing Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (4.7e-05 vs 0.00025), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.353A>G in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Co-occurrences with other pathogenic variant(s) have been reported in our internal testing experience (APC c.487C>T, p.Gln163X), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. Six clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
Malignant tumor of breast Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System-The BARD1 p.Asn118Ser variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the Cosmic, MutDB, databases. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs142864491) as “With Uncertain significance allele,” ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by GeneDx, Ambry Genetics, Invitae), Zhejiang Colon Cancer Database. The variant was identified in control databases in 13 of 276666 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000047 in the following populations: European (Non-Finnish) in 12 of 126474 chromosomes (freq. 0.00009), and African in 1 of 24008 chromosomes (freq. 0.00004) (Genome Aggregation Consortium Feb 27, 2017). The p.Asn118 residue is not conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 3 of 5 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing. However, this information is not predictive enough to assume pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -
