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.

This sequence change falls in intron 4 of the BARD1 mRNA. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the BARD1 protein, but it affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site of the intron. In summary, this is a novel intronic change with uncertain impact on splicing. It has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Nucleotide substitutions within the consensus splice site are relatively common causes of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of nucleotide changes on mRNA splicing suggest that this variant may alter mRNA splicing, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a BARD1-related disease. -

The c.1314+5delG intronic variant, located in intron 4 of the BARD1 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide within intron 4 of the BARD1 gene. This nucleotide position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
