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.

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.C71S variant (also known as c.211T>A), located in coding exon 2 of the BARD1 gene, results from a T to A substitution at nucleotide position 211. The cysteine at codon 71 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This variant was detected in a cohort of 113 Italian non-BRCA patients with a personal and/or familial history of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and/or pancreatic cancer (Germani A et al. J Clin Med, 2020 Sep;9). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces cysteine with serine at codon 71 in the RING domain of the BARD1 protein. This variant alters one of the zinc-binding residues of the RING domain that is thought to be important for BARD1 protein function (PMID: 29367421). Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with breast cancer at age 49 with family history of uterine cancer, melanoma, colon cancer and lung cancer (PMID: 32957588). A different nucleotide substitution variant with the same protein consequence (c.212G>C, p.Cys71Ser) has been reported in an individual affected with familial breast cancer (PMID: 31036035). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). A different missense variant affecting the same codon position, p.Cys71Tyr, is known to disrupt BARD1 protein function (PMID: 26350354, 29367421) and is reported as disease-causing (ClinVar variation ID: 978478). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 71 of the BARD1 protein (p.Cys71Ser). 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. This variant disrupts the p.Cys71 amino acid residue in BARD1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 26350354, 29367421). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 489667). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BARD1-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). -
