Description
This variant is denoted BARD1 c.692C>T at the cDNA level, p.Ser231Phe (S231F) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Serine to a Phenylalanine (TCC>TTC). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. BARD1 Ser231Phe was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, suggesting it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Serine and Phenylalanine differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution. BARD1 Ser231Phe occurs at a position that is not conserved and is not located in a known functional domain (UniProt). In silico analyses are inconsistent regarding the effect this variant may have on protein structure and function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether BARD1 Ser231Phe is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance.
