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.

Significance:Uncertain significance

Collection Method:clinical testing

In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Published functional studies demonstrate similar protein production and reduced homology-directed repair (HDR) activity relative to wildtype (Adamovich et al., 2019); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 25233892, 28135145, 17550235, 26898890, 33471991, 30925164, 35264596) -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 719 of the BARD1 protein (p.Thr719Ala). This variant is present in population databases (rs771852699, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with colorectal cancer (PMID: 28135145). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 406754). 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. Experimental studies are conflicting or provide insufficient evidence to determine the effect of this variant on 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. -

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

This missense variant replaces threonine with alanine at codon 719 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 this variant protein leads to homology directed repair activity similar to the wild-type protein in a cell-based assay (PMID: 30925164). This variant has been reported in an individual affected with colorectal cancer, who carried a causative variant in the MLH1 gene (PMID: 28135145). This variant has been identified in 7/251364 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:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

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. -

The BARD1 p.Thr719Ala variant was identified in 1 of 2116 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0005) from individuals or families with colorectal cancer (Yurgelun 2017). In this proband, the variant co-occurred with a pathogenic MLH1 variant (c.2195_2198dup, p.H733Qfs*14). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs771852699) “With Uncertain significance allele” and ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by Invitae, Color, Prevention Genetics, and two other submitters). The variant was identified in control databases in 7 of 246128 chromosomes (1 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.00003 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: Other in 1 of 5482 chromosomes (freq: 0.0002) and Latino in 6 (1 homozygous) of 33580 chromosomes (freq: 0.0002); it was not observed in the African, European, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, Finnish, or South Asian populations. The p.Thr719 residue is 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 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. 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. -
