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.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Myriad Genetics, Inc.	May 25, 2023	This variant is considered pathogenic. This variant creates a termination codon and is predicted to result in premature protein truncation. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Sep 26, 2023	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln666*) in the BARD1 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 112 amino acid(s) of the BARD1 protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of BARD1-related conditions (PMID: 26315354, 26681312). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 182051). This variant disrupts the C-terminal BRCT domain of BARD1 protein, which is required for chromosome stability and homology-directed repair (PMID: 17848578). A different variant (p.Val767fs) that lies downstream of this variant has been reported to affect BARD1 protein function (PMID: 30925164), this suggests that disruption of this region of the protein is causative of disease. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Jun 12, 2024	Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation, as the last 112 amino acids are lost, and other loss-of-function variants have been reported downstream in HGMD; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Observed in individuals with a personal and family history of breast and other cancers (PMID: 34326862, 26681312, 25186627, 30130155); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 28281021, 26315354, 26681312, 25186627, 30733081, 34404389, 17550235, 30925164, 17848578, 15040442, 29292755, 33610559, 30130155, 34326862) -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Jan 09, 2023	This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 10 of the BARD1 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal at codon 666. The mutant transcript is expected to escape nonsense-mediated decay and be expressed as truncated protein lacking the functional BRCT2 domain (a.a. 667-777) that is critical for BARD1 protein function (PMID: 17848578, 30925164). This variant has been observed in individuals affected with breast cancer, including one individuals diagnosed before age 50 (PMID: 25186627, 26681312). This variant has not been identified 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. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Mar 10, 2022	The p.Q666* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1996C>T), located in coding exon 10 of the BARD1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1996. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 10. This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of theBARD1 gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and only impacts the last 112 amino acids of the protein. However, premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature and the impacted region is critical for protein function (Ambry internal data). This alteration was previously identified in a patient with breast cancer (Susswein LR et al. Genet. Med. 2016 Aug;18(8):823-32). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
