Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -6 ACMG points: 0P and 6B. BP4_StrongBP6BS2_Supporting
The NM_000465.4(BARD1):āc.160A>Gā(p.Thr54Ala) variant causes a missense, splice region change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000044 in 1,612,110 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 18/23 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars).

Submissions by phenotype
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2Benign:2
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. -

Familial cancer of breast Uncertain:2Benign:1
This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 54 of the BARD1 protein (p.Thr54Ala). This variant is present in population databases (rs200254470, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 20030863, 34326862, 35264596, 35534704). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 140974). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function outputs the following: PolyPhen-2: "Benign". The alanine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect BARD1 function (PMID: 26350354). 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:2
The BARD1 c.160A>G (p.Thr54Ala) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with breast cancer (PMID: 35264596 (2022), 35534704 (2022), 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/BRCA2)) and ovarian cancer (PMID: 34326862 (2021)). This variant has also been identified in reportedly healthy individuals (PMID: 36243179 (2022), 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/BRCA2)). Assessment of experimental evidence regarding the effect of this variant on protein function suggests it has no effect relevant to disease (PMID: 26350354 (2015)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00016 (18/113472 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -
In silico analysis indicates that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Published functional studies demonstrate homology-directed repair activity comparable to wild type (PMID: 26350354); Observed in individuals with breast or ovarian cancer, and also in unaffected controls (PMID: 34326862, 33471991, 35264596, 35534704); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 20030863, 36243179, 18480049, 35264596, 31159747, 33471991, 26350354, 34326862, 35534704) -
