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.

Submissions by phenotype

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:3

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Mar 17, 2022	This missense variant replaces arginine with tryptophan at codon 529 of the BARD1 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has been identified in 13/282628 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. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Sep 20, 2023	The p.R529W variant (also known as c.1585C>T), located in coding exon 7 of the BARD1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1585. The arginine at codon 529 is replaced by tryptophan, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Jul 10, 2023	Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; In silico analysis is inconclusive as to whether the variant alters gene splicing. In the absence of RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of this sequence change is unknown.; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 27960086, 31036035) -

Familial cancer of breast Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Baylor Genetics	Oct 16, 2023	- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Dec 31, 2023	This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 529 of the BARD1 protein (p.Arg529Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs375515606, gnomAD 0.02%). 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: 185032). 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. RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this missense change on mRNA splicing indicates it does not significantly alter splicing (Invitae). 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. -

Variant summary: BARD1 c.1585C>T (p.Arg529Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-05 in 251232 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in BARD1 causing Breast Cancer (4e-05 vs 0.00025), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1585C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BARD1-associated cancers (e.g, Akcay_2021, Bono_2021), however without strong evidence for causality (e.g., lack of co-occurrence and co-segregation data). Additionally the variant has been reported in the literature in several unaffected controls (e.g., Weber-Lasalle_2019, Bucalo_2023). These reports therefore do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Breast Cancer. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 32658311, 34371384, 37262986, 31036035). Six submitters have reported clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
