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.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpDec 15, 2023This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 416 of the BARD1 protein (p.Leu416Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with osteosarcoma or hepatoblastoma (PMID: 26580448, 35264596, 35495172, 36187937). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 237815). 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. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingSt. Jude Molecular Pathology, St. Jude Children's Research HospitalJan 08, 2024The BARD1 c.1247T>G (p.Leu416Arg) missense change is absent in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). The in silico tool REVEL predicts a benign effect on protein function, but this prediction has not been confirmed by functional studies. This variant has not been reported in individuals with BARD1-related disease. 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. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:3
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMar 26, 2024The p.L416R variant (also known as c.1247T>G), located in coding exon 4 of the BARD1 gene, results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 1247. The leucine at codon 416 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration was detected in a cohort of 1663 Brazilian breast cancer patients who underwent hereditary multigene panel testing (Guindalini RSC et al. Sci Rep, 2022 Mar;12:4190). This variant has also been reported in 1/1120 pediatric cancer patients who underwent whole genome sequencing and/or whole exome sequencing; this patient was diagnosed with osteosarcoma (Zhang J et al. N Engl J Med, 2015 Dec;373:2336-2346). This amino acid position is not 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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthOct 30, 2023This missense variant replaces leucine with arginine at codon 416 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 osteosacroma (PMID: 26580448). This variant has not been identified 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. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingQuest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan CapistranoJun 12, 2024The BARD1 c.1247T>G (p.Leu416Arg) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with breast cancer (PMIDs: 35264596 (2022) and 35534704 (2022)), osteosarcoma (PMIDs: 26580448 (2015) and 36187937 (2022)), and hepatoblastoma (PMID: 35495172 (2022)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00026 (4/15278 chromosomes in Admixed American 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. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJul 26, 2021Variant summary: BARD1 c.1247T>G (p.Leu416Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 250928 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1247T>G has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with Osteosacroma (Zhang_2015). This report however, does 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. Four ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
