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.

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces leucine with valine at codon 41 of the BARD1 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, 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 (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BARD1_000486). This variant has been identified in 3/240266 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.L41V variant (also known as c.121C>G), located in coding exon 1 of the BARD1 gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 121. The leucine at codon 41 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant was reported in 1/60,466 breast cancer cases and in 0/53,461 controls (Dorling et al. N Engl J Med. 2021 02;384:428-439). 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 this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

DNA sequence analysis of the BARD1 gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.121C>G, in exon 1 that results in an amino acid change, p.Leu41Val. This sequence change does not appear to have been previously described in patients with BARD1-related disorders and has been described in the gnomAD database with 3 individuals (dbSNP rs751665426). The p.Leu41Val change affects a moderately conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the BARD1 protein that is not known to be functional. In-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL) provide contradictory results for the p.Leu41Val substitution. Due to these contrasting evidences and the lack of functional studies, the clinical significance of the p.Leu41Val change remains unknown at this time. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 41 of the BARD1 protein (p.Leu41Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs751665426, gnomAD 0.002%). 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: 231270). 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 tolerated. 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. -
