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.

The p.P454L variant (also known as c.1361C>T), located in coding exon 5 of the BARD1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1361. The proline at codon 454 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant was reported in 1/255 ovarian cancer patients but was not observed in 1000 unselected population-based controls or 200 healthy, age-matched, female controls. Using RNA extracted from this patient's serous ovarian tumor, mRNA expression analysis showed an in-frame deletion of exon 5 (Ratajska M et al. Oncol. Rep., 2015 Nov;34:2609-17). In one study, this variant was reported in 1/60,466 breast cancer cases and in 1/53,461 controls (Dorling et al. N Engl J Med 2021 02;384:428-439). This variant was also detected in a cohort of 400 Polish ovarian cancer cases (Suszynska M et al. Cancer Prev Res (Phila), 2022 Mar;15:151-160). In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will not have any significant effect on splicing; however direct evidence is insufficient at this time (Ambry internal data). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. 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. -

Variant summary: The BARD1 c.1361C>T (p.Pro454Leu) variant involves the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. This variant is located within the ANK repeats of the protein which suggest possible alteration of the BARD1 structure and/or interactions with other proteins. 4/4 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome (SNPs&GO not captured due to low reliability index). 5/5 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. ESE finder predicts that this variant causes a loss of binding motif for splicing enhancer SC15. This variant was found in 1/121022 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000083, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic BARD1 variant (0.0002188). This variant has been reported in one OvC patient and was shown to cause exon 5 skipping resulting in-frame deletion from c.1315 to c.1395 [r.(=,1315_1395del);p.Gly439_Leu465del], and this this deletion results in disruption of the 1st and 2nd ANK repeat (Ratajska_Oncol Rep_2015). In addition, one clinical diagnostic laboratory classified this variant as VUS, without evidence to independently evaluate. Taken together, because of the absence of clinical information and the lack of functional studies, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic until more evidence becomes available. -

Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; A functional study demonstrated through mRNA analysis that this variant results in in-frame skipping of exon 5 (Ratajska et al., 2015); Observed in individuals with ovarian or breast cancer as well as at least one unaffected individual in a breast cancer case-control study (Ratajska et al., 2015; Dorling et al., 2021; Suszynska et al., 2022); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 26329992, 33471991, 37418175, 18480049, 34906988, 32726901, 35650591) -

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 454 of the BARD1 protein (p.Pro454Leu). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with ovarian cancer (PMID: 26329992). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 232097). 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. 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. -
