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.

The BARD1 c.539_540del (p.Tyr180*) variant causes the premature termination of BARD1 protein synthesis. This variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with breast cancer (PMIDs: 32782288 (2020), 28724667 (2017)) and clear cell renal cancer (PMID: 32782288 (2020)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000011 (3/282036 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is consistent with pathogenicity. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant deletes 2 nucleotides in exon 4 of the BARD1 gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been identified in 3/282036 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of BARD1 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.539_540delAT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 4 of the BARD1 gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 539 to 540, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.Y180*). This alteration was detected in a cohort of 8085 consecutive unselected Chinese breast cancer patients who underwent multi-gene panel testing (Sun J et al. Clin. Cancer Res., 2017 Oct;23:6113-6119) and was seen in 0/3030 cases of pancreatic cancer and 1/123136 controls from gnomAD (Hu C et al. JAMA, 2018 06;319:2401-2409). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
