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 variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: 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. -

The BARD1 c.1568+15G>T variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the MutDB, Clinvitae or Zhejiang University Databases. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs145936354) as “With Likely benign allele” and ClinVar (2x as likely benign by Ambry Genetics and Color Genomics). This variant was identified in our laboratory in one breast cancer patient co-occurring with a pathogenic CHEK2 variant (c.684-?_846+?del), increasing the likelihood that the c.1568+15G>T variant does not have clinical significance. The variant was identified in control databases in 17 of 276586 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00006 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: African in 3 of 24014 chromosomes (freq: 0.000125) and European Non-Finnish in 14 of 126260 chromosomes (freq: 0.0001); it was not observed in the “Other”, Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, European Finnish, or South Asian populations. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; however, this is not very predictive of pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign. -
