Familial cancer of breast Pathogenic:1
This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 53 of the BARD1 protein (p.Cys53Tyr). RNA analysis indicates that this missense change induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs747582517, gnomAD 0.0009%). 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: 460712). 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. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this missense change results in deletion of 4 nucleotides and introduces a premature termination codon (Invitae). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. 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. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1
The c.158G>A variant (also known as p.C53Y), located in coding exon 1 of the BARD1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 158. The amino acid change results in cysteine to tyrosine at codon 53, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. However, this change occurs in the last base pair of coding exon 1, which makes it likely to have some effect on normal mRNA splicing. This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site and will result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice donor site; however, direct evidence is insufficient at this time (Ambry internal data). In addition, as a missense substitution, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
