Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2
The p.M26V variant (also known as c.76A>G), located in coding exon 1 of the BARD1 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 76. The methionine at codon 26 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant was identified in a cohort of 3,579 African males diagnosed with prostate cancer who underwent multi-gene panel testing of 19 DNA repair and cancer predisposition genes (Matejcic M et al. JCO Precis Oncol, 2020 Jan;4:32-43). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
This missense variant replaces methionine with valine at codon 26 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 high-risk breast cancer (DOI: 10.1200/JCO.2022.40.16_suppl.e22525). This variant has been identified in 2/232836 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. -
Familial cancer of breast Uncertain:2

This sequence change replaces methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 26 of the BARD1 protein (p.Met26Val). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. 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: 141201). 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. -

not provided Uncertain:1
The BARD1 c.76A>G (p.Met26Val) variant has been reported in the published literature in an individual with ovarian cancer (PMID: 38509102 (2024)). This variant has also been identified in cohort of African American individuals with prostate cancer and reportedly healthy individuals (PMID: 32832836 (2020)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0000086 (2/232836 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is benign or damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -
