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

The BARD1 c.2116A>G (p.Lys706Glu) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.020% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). The in silico tool REVEL predicts a benign effect on protein function, but to our knowledge this prediction has not been confirmed by functional studies. This variant has been reported in a large case-control study of breast cancer in 9 of 60466 cases and 6 of 53461 controls (PMID: 33471991), and in a small case-control study of epithelial ovarian cancer in 2 of 3236 cases and 1 of 3431 controls (PMID: 26315354). It has been reported in other individuals with breast, colorectal, and endometrial cancer (25186627, 27443514, 29945567, 32885271). This variant is present in two individuals in a database of women older than 70 years of age who have never had cancer (FLOSSIES database, https://whi.color.com/). In summary, the evidence currently available is insufficient to determine the clinical significance of this variant. It has therefore been classified as of uncertain significance. -

This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 706 of the BARD1 protein (p.Lys706Glu). This variant is present in population databases (rs149262370, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with BARD1-related conditions (PMID: 26315354, 27443514, 29596542, 32268276, 33118316). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 127730). 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. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

The BARD1 c.2116A>G (p.Lys706Glu) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with breast cancer (PMID: 25186627 (2015)), endometrial cancer (PMID: 27443514 (2016)), ovarian cancer (PMID: 26315354 (2015)), colorectal cancer (PMID: 33118316 (2020)), and in an individual with multiple primary cancers (PMID: 34326862 (2021)). This variant was observed in numerous breast cancer cases as well as in reportedly healthy individuals in a case-control study (PMID: 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0002 (26/129080 chromosomes in European (Non-Finnish) subpopulation (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is higher than would generally be expected for pathogenic variants in this gene. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Variant summary: BARD1 c.2116A>G (p.Lys706Glu) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the second BRCT domain (IPR001357) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0001 in 258182 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00022 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in BARD1 causing Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (0.0001 vs 0.00025), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.2116A>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with endometrial-, breast- or ovarian cancer (Ring 2016, Tung 2014, Ramus 2015, Bhai_2021), however without strong evidence for causality, and it was also found in controls (Ramus 2015). Furthermore, the variant was reported in 2/7325 European American women, who are older than age 70 years, and who have never had cancer (in the FLOSSIES database). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. Co-occurrences with other pathogenic variants have been reported (BRIP1 c.2392C>T (p.Arg798X) in our internal database), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 34326862, 26315354, 27443514, 25186627). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 127730). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

The BARD1 p.Lys706Glu variant was identified in 3 of 7234 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0004) from individuals or families with epithelial ovarian cancer or endometrial carcinoma and was present in 1 of 6862 control chromosomes (frequency: 0.0002) from healthy individuals (Ramus 2015, Ring 2016). The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs149262370) as "With Uncertain significance allele", ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by Invitae, GeneDx, Ambry Genetics and two clinical laboratories), MutDB, and in Zhejiang University databases (1x). The variant was identified in control databases in 26 of 277080 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00009 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: African in 1 of 24032 chromosomes (freq: 0.00004), European in 25 of 126608 chromosomes (freq: 0.0002), while the variant was not observed in the Other, Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, Finnish, or South Asian populations. The p.Lys706 residue is conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein; this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. 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. -
