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 variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 281 of the BARD1 protein (p.Pro281Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs367890377, gnomAD 0.06%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer and/or colon cancer (PMID: 32959997, 34250417, 35264596). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 185922). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function outputs the following: PolyPhen-2: "Benign". The leucine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. 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. -

The BARD1 c.842C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Pro281Leu. This variant has been reported in individuals with breast cancer and colorectal cancer (Guindalini et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 35264596; Pearlman et al 2021. PubMed ID: 34250417). This variant is reported in 0.061% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD and has conflicting interpretations of pathogenicity in the ClinVar database ranging from likely benign to uncertain (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/185922/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: BARD1 c.842C>T (p.Pro281Leu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.4e-05 in 1611222 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0007 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 2.8 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in BARD1 causing Breast Cancer phenotype (0.00025). c.842C>T has been reported in the presumed heterozygous state in the literature in individuals affected with Breast Cancer and Colorectal Cancer without evidence of causality (e.g. Uyisenga_2020, Pearlman_2021, Perez-Ibave_2023), without strong evidence for causality. These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Breast Cancer. 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: 32994724, 34250417, 36833268, 32959997). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 185922). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
