This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 483 of the BARD1 protein (p.His483Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs587781874, gnomAD 0.003%). 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: 141608). 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. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect BARD1 function (PMID: 30925164). RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this missense change on mRNA splicing indicates it does not significantly alter splicing (internal data). 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 is considered likely benign. This variant is strongly associated with less severe personal and family histories of cancer, typical for individuals without pathogenic variants in this gene [PMID: 25085752]. -
Variant interpreted as Uncertain significance and reported on 02-29-2020 by Lab Invitae. GenomeConnect-Invitae Patient Insights Network assertions are reported exactly as they appear on the patient-provided report from the testing laboratory. Registry team members make no attempt to reinterpret the clinical significance of the variant. Phenotypic details are available under supporting information. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome    Uncertain:2Benign:1 
- -
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. -
This missense variant replaces histidine with arginine at codon 483 of the BARD1 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function. A functional study has shown the mutant protein to exhibit near normal homology-directed DNA repair activity (PMID: 30925164). This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. In a ovarian cancer case control study, this variant was absent in 3374 cases and observed in 1/3487 controls (PMID: 26315354). This variant has been identified in 4/251326 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. -

Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Observed in a control in an ovarian cancer case-control study (Ramus et al., 2015); Published functional studies demonstrate a benign effect: homology-directed repair activity similar to a wild type control (Adamovich et al., 2019); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 18480049, 31159747, 30925164, 26315354) -
not specified    Uncertain:1 
Variant summary: BARD1 c.1448A>G (p.His483Arg) 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 1.6e-05 in 251326 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1448A>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with an unspecified cancer type (Adamovich_2019) as well as healthy controls (Ramus_2015). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. These results showed no damaging effect of this variant (Adamovich_2019). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 30925164, 26315354). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 141608). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Familial pancreatic carcinoma    Uncertain:1 
The BARD1 p.His483Arg variant was not identified in 6472 proband chromosomes from individuals or families with ovarian cancer, but was present in 1 of 6862 control chromosomes (frequency: 0.0002) from healthy individuals (Ramus 2015). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs587781874) as "With Uncertain significance allele", and in ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by Ambry Genetics, Invitae, Counsyl and two other submitters). The variant was identified in control databases in 4 of 246094 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00002 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: Other in 1 of 5470 chromosomes (freq: 0.0002), Latino in 1 of 33534 chromosomes (freq: 0.00003), European in 2 of 111620 chromosomes (freq: 0.00002), while the variant was not observed in the African, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, Finnish, and South Asian populations. The p.His483 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 3 of 4 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing. However, this information is not predictive enough to assume pathogenicity. 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. -
