The applied criteria and their strengths are shown as assessed under the stated framework.
The BARD1 p.Gly623Glu variant was directly tested in a homology-directed DNA repair (HDR) reporter assay in HeLa cells. The variant showed significantly reduced HDR activity (14–19% of wild-type), classified as intermediate function. It was expressed and soluble but failed to bind BRCA1, disrupting a protein–protein interaction critical for DNA repair function. This functional evidence supports a deleterious effect on protein function.
This variant is present at very low frequency in population databases: gnomAD v2.1 AF = 0.00119% (3/251,210 alleles), gnomAD v4.1 AF = 0.00229% (37/1,613,832 alleles), grpmax FAF = 2.233e-05. All observed frequencies are well below the 0.1% threshold for PM2 in the generic ACMG framework. No homozygotes have been observed.
Multiple lines of computational evidence suggest no impact on the gene product. BayesDel score is 0.016 (strongly benign-leaning). SpliceAI predicts no splicing impact (max delta = 0.05). REVEL score of 0.388 is indeterminate. The preponderance of in silico evidence suggests a benign effect.
gene-specific framework lacked a usable explicit final combination framework, so generic ACMG/AMP 2015 final-combination rules were applied as fallback; applied criteria: PS3 moderate, PM2 supporting, BP4 supporting; combination = 1 moderate + 1 supporting + 1 supporting benign, which maps to VUS.

The BARD1 c.1868G>A (p.Gly623Glu) variant is a missense substitution classified as a variant of uncertain significance. Functional evidence from a homology-directed DNA repair assay demonstrates that this variant significantly reduces HDR activity (14–19% of wild-type) and disrupts BRCA1 binding, meeting PS3 at moderate strength (Lee et al., 2015).
The variant is absent or extremely rare in population databases (gnomAD v2.1 AF 0.00119%; v4.1 AF 0.00229%), meeting PM2 at supporting strength.
Multiple computational predictors suggest a benign effect: BayesDel score is 0.016 (benign-leaning), REVEL score is 0.388 (indeterminate), and SpliceAI predicts no splicing impact (max delta 0.05), meeting BP4 at supporting strength.
At the time of assessment, no CSPEC or VCEP framework exists for BARD1. The generic ACMG/AMP 2015 framework was applied. Combining PS3_moderate and PM2_supporting with BP4_supporting yields a net evidence profile of one moderate pathogenic criterion plus one supporting pathogenic criterion partially offset by one supporting benign criterion, resulting in an overall classification of Uncertain Significance.
ClinVar classifies this variant as Uncertain Significance (1-star, 8 clinical laboratories, ClinVar Variation ID 142123). The evidence from this independent adjudication is consistent with that classification.
