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.

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 343 of the BARD1 protein (p.Thr343Ile). This variant is present in population databases (rs201032007, gnomAD 0.04%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer, endometrial cancer, and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 26315354, 27443514, 34646395, 35595798). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 127712). 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. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect BARD1 function (PMID: 30925164). 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]. -

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. -

Variant summary: BARD1 c.1028C>T (p.Thr343Ile) 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 0.00012 in 1614100 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in BARD1 causing Breast Cancer (0.00012 vs 0.00025), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1028C>T has been reported in the literature as a VUS in settings of multigene panel testing among individuals with a variety of cancers (example, Ramus_2015, Ring_2016, Bonache_2018, Laraqui_2021, Benito-Sanchez_2022). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Breast and/or BARD1 associated Cancer. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. These results showed no damaging effect of this variant on Homology Directed Repair and damage sensitivity (Adamovich_2019). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 30925164, 35595798, 30306255, 34646395, 26315354, 27443514). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 127712). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign. -

The BARD1 c.1028C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Thr343Ile. This variant has been reported in individuals with ovarian and endometrial cancer (Ramus et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 26315354; Table S2, Ring et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 27443514) as well as in an individual with colorectal adenocarcinoma that harbored a pathogenic variant in the FANCL gene (Table 7, Cabanillas et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28717660). It is reported as a germline variant in a breast tumor and an ovarian tumor sample from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database (Adamovich et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 30925164). However, it has also been reported in an unaffected individual (Table S4, Ramus et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 26315354). It has been reported in up to 0.04% of individuals from a large population database and has conflicting interpretations of likely benign and uncertain significance in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/127712/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
