Familial cancer of breast Uncertain:2Benign:1
This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 351 of the BARD1 protein (p.Thr351Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs767208122, gnomAD 0.008%). 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: 232599). In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function. The methionine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect BARD1 function (PMID: 30925164). 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. -

This variant is present in population databases (rs767208122, gnomAD 0.008%). 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: 232599). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function outputs the following: PolyPhen-2: "Benign". The methionine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect BARD1 function (PMID: 30925164). 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. -
This variant is considered likely benign. This variant is strongly associated with less severe personal and family histories of cancer, typical for individuals without pathogenic variants in this gene [PMID: 25085752]. -
not provided Uncertain:2
Published functional studies demonstrate this variant to have approximately 80% of wild type homology-directed repair activity, which was not reported as defective (PMID: 30925164); In silico analysis indicates that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 30925164) -
The BARD1 c.1052C>T (p.Thr351Met) variant has been reported in the published literature in an individual with breast cancer as well as reportedly healthy controls (PMID: 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/BARD1)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000011 (3/282618 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1Benign:1
This missense variant replaces threonine with methionine at codon 351 of the BARD1 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). A functional study has shown that in a homology directed repair assay, this variant shows ~80% of the wild-type BARD1 protein activity (PMID: 30925164). In a large breast cancer case-control meta-analysis, this variant was identified in 1/60465 cases and 2/53459 controls; OR=0.442 (95%CI 0.04 to 4.876); p-value=0.603 (PMID: 33471991 - Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BARD1_000317). This variant has been identified in 3/282618 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. -
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. -
Malignant tumor of breast Uncertain:1
The BARD1 p.Thr351Met variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the COSMIC, MutDB, or the Zhejiang University database. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs767208122) as “With Uncertain significance allele”, and in the ClinVar and Clinvitae databases (classified as uncertain significance by Ambry Genetics, Invitae, GeneDx and Color Genomics). The variant was identified in control databases in 3 of 276932 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00001 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). It was observed in the following populations: African in 2 of 24034 chromosomes (freq: 0.00008), European Non-Finnish in 1 of 126492 chromosomes (freq: 0.000008), but not in the “Other”, Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, Finnish, and South Asian populations. The p.Thr351 residue is not conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein; this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 2 of 5 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; this is not very predictive of pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -
