Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -3 ACMG points: 0P and 3B. BP4_ModerateBS2_Supporting
The NM_000465.4(BARD1):c.841C>T(p.Pro281Ser) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000403 in 1,611,132 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 15/22 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. P281L) has been classified as Likely benign.

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 281 of the BARD1 protein (p.Pro281Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs200059956, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer and colon cancer (PMID: 25980754, 26979419, 27978560, 33606809, 34250417). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 127749). 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. -

This variant is considered likely benign. This variant is strongly associated with less severe personal and family histories of cancer, typical for individuals without pathogenic variants in this gene [PMID: 25085752]. -

not provided    Uncertain:3 
Observed in individuals with a personal or family history including breast, colon, or other cancer and/or polyps, and also observed in unaffected controls (PMID: 25980754, 26976419, 27978560, 33471991, 34250417, 33606809, 35534704, 35264596); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 25980754, 26976419, 27720647, 27978560, 29596542, 33606809, 33471991, 35264596, 35534704, 34250417) -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome    Uncertain:2Benign:1 
This missense variant replaces proline with serine at codon 281 of the BARD1 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast cancer and Lynch syndrome-associated cancer and/or polyps (PMID: 25980754, 26976419, 27978560). This variant has also been identified in 4/247946 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. -
- -
This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, 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. -
not specified    Uncertain:2 
Variant summary: BARD1 c.841C>T (p.Pro281Ser) 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 allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 247946 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.841C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with breast cancer, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer and Lynch syndrome associated cancer and/or polyps (Yurgelun_2015, Tung_2016, Pearlman_2016, Sandoval_2021, Dorling_2021, Dillon_2022). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Ten ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome    Uncertain:1 
The BARD1 c.841C>T (p.Pro281Ser) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.0036% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/2-215645757-G-A?dataset=gnomad_r2_1). It is absent in a database of women older than 70 years of age who have never had cancer (https://whi.color.com/). Five of seven in silico tools predict a benign effect of this variant on protein function (BP4), but these predictions have not been confirmed by functional studies. This variant has been reported in individuals with breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and suspected Lynch syndrome (PMID: 26976419, 27978560, 25980754). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as of uncertain significance based on the ACMG/AMP criteria: BP4. -
