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.

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 lysine with arginine at codon 379 of the BARD1 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with breast or ovarian cancer (PMID: 30306255) and an unaffected individual (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BARD1_000302). This variant has been identified in 10/251338 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. -

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

Variant summary: BARD1 c.1136A>G (p.Lys379Arg) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-05 in 251338 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in BARD1 causing Breast Cancer (4e-05 vs 0.00025), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1136A>G has been reported in the literature in at least one individual with suspected HBOC. These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Breast Cancer. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 30306255). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 186863). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

BARD1-related disorder Uncertain:1
Dec 19, 2023
PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The BARD1 c.1136A>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Lys379Arg. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.029% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD and has conflicting interpretations of uncertain and likely benign in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/186863/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

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

This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 379 of the BARD1 protein (p.Lys379Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs750827325, gnomAD 0.03%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 30306255). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 186863). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function outputs the following: PolyPhen-2: "Benign". The arginine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. 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. -
