Description
The BARD1 c.365-7C>T variant was identified in 1 of 392 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.003) from individuals or families with breast cancer (De Brakeleer 2010). The variant was identified in dbSNP (rs745929983) as “with likely benign allele” and ClinVar (classified as likely benign by Invitae, Color, GeneDx and Quest Diagnostics). The variant was identified in control databases in 10 of 269,488 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00004 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: Other in 1 of 6824 chromosomes (freq: 0.0001), Latino in 2 of 33,564 chromosomes (freq: 0.00006), European in 6 of 123,604 chromosomes (freq: 0.00005), and African in 1 of 23,536 chromosomes (freq: 0.00004), while it was not observed in the Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, Finnish or South Asian populations. The variant occurs at a non-highly conserved nucleotide 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 although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign.
