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.

The BARD1 c.1835A>T (p.Asp612Val) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.023% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). Two individuals with this variant are reported in a database of women older than 70 years of age who have never had cancer (FLOSSIES, https://whi.color.com/). The in silico tool REVEL predicts a benign effect on protein function and functional analysis indicates that this variant has similar homology-directed repair compared to the wild-type (PMID: 30925164). This variant has been reported in an individual with early-onset breast cancer (PMID: 26787654) and in an individual with early-onset colorectal cancer (PMID: 28640387). In summary, the evidence currently available is insufficient to determine the clinical significance of this variant. It has therefore been classified as of uncertain significance. -

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 612 of the BARD1 protein (p.Asp612Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs201140528, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with personal and/or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer. (PMID: 35534704, 35595798, 35957908). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142336). 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). Studies have shown that this missense change is associated with inconclusive levels of altered splicing (internal data). 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. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

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. -

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

DNA sequence analysis of the BARD1 gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.1835A>T, in exon 9 that results in an amino acid change, p.Asp612Val. This sequence change does not appear to have been previously described in patients with BARD1-related disorders and has been described in the gnomAD database with a frequency of 0.023% in Latino populations (dbSNP rs201140528). The p.Asp612Val change affects a poorly conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the BARD1 protein that is known to be functional. The p.Asp612Val substitution appears to be benign using several in-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL). Due to the lack of functional studies, the clinical significance of the p.Asp612Val change remains unknown at this time. -

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

Variant summary: BARD1 c.1835A>T (p.Asp612Val) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the BRCT domain (IPR001357) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8.5e-05 in 257966 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00023 within the Latino subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1835A>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with breast, ovarian, colon, or prostate cancer without strong evidence of causality (Ramus_2015, Young_2016, Ricker_2017, Akcay_2021, Benito-Sanchez_2022, Gifoni_2022, Dillon_2022). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. These results showed no damaging effect of this variant (Adamovich_2019). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 26315354, 26787654, 27153395, 28640387, 30925164, 32658311, 35595798, 35957908, 35768576). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142336). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

The BARD1 c.1835A>T (p.Asp612Val) variant has been reported in individuals with breast cancer (PMIDs: 35534704 (2022), 35595798 (2022), 35957908 (2022), 32658311 (2021), 33471991 (2021), 27153395 (2016), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/)) and colorectal cancer (PMID: 28640387 (2017)). It has also been reported in reportedly healthy individuals (PMID: 26315354 (2015), 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/)). In addition, a functional study indicated that this variant showed DNA repair activity comparable to the wild type (PMID: 30925164 (2019)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00023 (8/35430 chromosomes in Latino/Admixed American subpopulation (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is higher than would generally be expected for pathogenic variants in this gene. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -
