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.

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces lysine with arginine at codon 708 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 not been reported in individuals affected with BARD1-related disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 2/282770 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. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.K708R variant (also known as c.2123A>G), located in coding exon 11 of the BARD1 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 2123. The lysine at codon 708 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant was reported in 1/60,466 breast cancer cases and in 1/53,461 controls (Dorling et al. N Engl J Med. 2021 02;384:428-439). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is denoted BARD1 c.2123A>G at the cDNA level, p.Lys708Arg (K708R) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Lysine to an Arginine (AAG>AGG). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. BARD1 Lys708Arg was not observed at a significant allele frequency in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) ancestry in large population cohorts (Lek 2016). Since Lysine and Arginine share similar properties, this is considered a conservative amino acid substitution. BARD1 Lys708Arg occurs at a position that is conserved across species and is located within the BRCT2 domain (UniProt, Fox 2008). In silico analyses are inconsistent regarding the effect this variant may have on protein structure and function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether BARD1 Lys708Arg is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 708 of the BARD1 protein (p.Lys708Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs372160908, gnomAD 0.0009%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BARD1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 127731). 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 disruptive. 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. -
