This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 10 of the BARD1 gene. While this variant is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it likely alters RNA splicing and results in a disrupted protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs768490891, 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: 460733). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. 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. This variant disrupts a region of the BARD1 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Val767Aspfs*4) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 11943588). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
