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.

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; Published functional studies are inconclusive: intermediate effect on homology-directed repair activity (PMID: 30925164); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 23056176, 32854451, 32726901, 17972171, 35650591, 35402282, 35912549, 17550235, 30925164) -

Familial cancer of breast Uncertain:3

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

The p.T598I variant (also known as c.1793C>T), located in coding exon 8 of the BARD1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1793. The threonine at codon 598 is replaced by isoleucine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration was reported in a family with multiple cases of breast cancer; however, the alteration did not segregate with breast cancer in this family (Gorringe KL et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2008 Oct;111:505-9). In a homology-directed repair (HDR) assay, this alteration showed HDR activity just below the cutoff for proficiency (Adamovich AI et al. PLoS Genet., 2019 03;15:e1008049). In addition, in silico analysis showed Benign computational verdict based on 11 benign predictions from BayesDel_addAF, DANN, DEOGEN2, EIGEN, FATHMM-MKL and 6 more vs 2 pathogenic predictions from M-CAP and MutationAssessor and the position is not strongly conserved (GERP++ rejected substitutions = 2.18 is less than 5.5). This variant has an entry in ClinVar (141929) with 4 submissions, all of which list this variant as “uncertain significance”. Also, this variant was not found in gnomAD genomes. Therefore, this variant is classified as uncertain significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
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 598 of the BARD1 protein (p.Thr598Ile). This variant is present in population databases (rs376256852, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 17972171, 32854451). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 141929). 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 affects 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. -

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

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

This missense variant replaces threonine with isoleucine at codon 598 of the BARD1 protein. Computational prediction tool suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function. A functional study has reported the mutant protein to exhibit partially reduced homology-directed DNA repair activity (PMID: 30925164). This variant has been reported in two individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 17972171, 32854451). In one of these families, this variant was not detected in other family members affected with breast cancer and colorectal cancer (PMID: 17972171). This variant has been identified in 2/251232 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. -
