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.1216C>T (p.Arg406*) variant causes the premature termination of BARD1 protein synthesis. This variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with breast cancer (PMID: 33479248 (2021), 33471991 (2021), 32658311 (2021), 31036035 (2019), 28724667 (2017), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/BARD1)), esophageal cancer (PMID: 29625052 (2018)), and basal cell carcinoma (PMID: 31887429 (2020)).

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg406*) in the BARD1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in BARD1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20077502, 21344236). This variant is present in population databases (rs377153250, gnomAD 0.005%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 28724667). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 229677). Studies have shown that this premature translational stop signal is associated with altered splicing resulting in multiple RNA products (internal data). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg406*) in the BARD1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in BARD1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20077502, 21344236). This variant identified in individuals with a personal or family history of breast and other cancers (Sun 2017, Weber-Lassalle 2019, Huang 2018, Akcay 2020, Guo 2020, Matejcic 2020) . This variant is present in population databases (rs377153250, gnomAD 0.005%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 28724667). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 229677). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 4 of the BARD1 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 28724667; Fontaine et al., 2022, https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-1584056/v1). This variant has been identified in 5/282366 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of BARD1 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.R406* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1216C>T), located in coding exon 4 of the BARD1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1216. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 4. This alteration has been seen in multiple breast cancer patients (Akcay IM et al. Int J Cancer, 2021 01;148:285-295; Weber-Lassalle N et al. Breast Cancer Res, 2019 04;21:55; Sun J et al. Clin Cancer Res, 2017 Oct;23:6113-6119). This alteration was also identified in a cohort of 3,579 African males diagnosed with prostate cancer who underwent multi-gene panel testing (Matejcic M et al. JCO Precis Oncol, 2020 Jan;4:32-43). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

Variant summary: BARD1 c.1216C>T (p.Arg406X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 250972 control chromosomes. c.1216C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Breast cancer (example, Sun_2017, Weber-Lassale_2019, Akcay_2021, Walsh_2021). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Eight clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
