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 sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 78 of the BARD1 protein (p.Cys78Tyr). This variant is present in population databases (rs199780731, gnomAD 0.04%). 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: 371950). 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. -

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces cysteine with tyrosine at codon 78 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. In a large international case-control study, this variant was reported in 5/60466 breast cancer cases and 4/53461 controls (PMID: 33471991). In a case-control study conducted in Japan, this variant was reported in 11/12473 colorectal cancer cases and 20/23692 controls (PMID: 33309985). This variant has been identified in 9/243944 chromosomes (7/17895 East Asian 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. -

The p.C78Y variant (also known as c.233G>A), located in coding exon 3 of the BARD1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 233. The cysteine at codon 78 is replaced by tyrosine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This variant has been identified in 11/12462 unselected Japanese colorectal cancer patients and in 20/23672 controls (Fujita M et al. Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol, 2020 Dec;:). This variant was also reported in 5/60,466 breast cancer cases and in 4/53,461 controls (Dorling et al. N Engl J Med. 2021 02;384:428-439). This amino acid position is 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. -
