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.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Jan 25, 2019	- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	May 07, 2019	The p.C469S variant (also known as c.1406G>C), located in coding exon 6 of the BARD1 gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 1406. The cysteine at codon 469 is replaced by serine, 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. -

This variant is denoted BARD1 c.1406G>C at the cDNA level, p.Cys469Ser (C469S) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Cysteine to a Serine (TGC>TCC). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. BARD1 Cys469Ser was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Cysteine and Serine differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution. BARD1 Cys469Ser occurs at a position that is highly conserved across species and is located in the ANK2 repeat region (Uniprot). In silico analyses predict that this variant is probably damaging to protein structure and function. Based on currently available information, it is unclear whether BARD1 Cys469Ser is pathogenic or benign. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 418059). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BARD1-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.003%). This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 469 of the BARD1 protein (p.Cys469Ser). 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. -
