The recorded framework is Not recorded. The criteria and strengths shown below come from the saved assessment; this page does not recalculate the classification.
The applied criteria and their strengths are shown as assessed under the stated framework.
This variant is extremely rare in population databases, with an overall allele frequency of 0.00040% (1/249,196 alleles) in gnomAD v2.1 and 0.00012% (2/1,611,936 alleles) in gnomAD v4.1, well below the PM2 threshold of 0.1%. It is absent from gnomAD-Canada. No homozygotes are observed.
Multiple lines of computational evidence consistently suggest a benign effect. REVEL score is 0.05 (well below pathogenic threshold), BayesDel score is -0.484 (strongly benign-tending), and SpliceAI predicts no splicing impact (max delta = 0.01). No in silico predictor suggests a deleterious 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: PM2 moderate, BP4 supporting benign; combination = 1 moderate + 1 supporting benign, which maps to VUS.

BARD1 c.562C>T (p.Pro188Ser) is a missense variant in exon 4 of the BARD1 gene, a moderate-penetrance hereditary breast cancer susceptibility gene where loss of function is the established disease mechanism.
The variant is extremely rare in population databases, with an allele frequency of 0.00040% in gnomAD v2.1 (1/249,196 alleles) and 0.00012% in gnomAD v4.1 (2/1,611,936 alleles), meeting PM2 at moderate strength.
Multiple computational predictors consistently suggest a benign effect: REVEL score 0.05 (benign-tending), BayesDel score -0.484 (strongly benign-tending), and SpliceAI max delta 0.01 (no predicted splice impact), meeting BP4 at supporting benign strength.
Pro188 is located outside the known critical functional domains of BARD1 (RING finger: aa 46-90; ANK repeats: aa 427-555; BRCT domains: aa 615-777) and is not a statistically significant hotspot residue; PM1 is not met.
The variant is classified as Uncertain significance in ClinVar (2 clinical laboratories) with one additional Likely benign submission (Ambry Genetics), all at 1-star review status. No expert panel classification exists; PP5 and BP6 are not met.
Two breast cancer cohort studies cited in ClinVar (PMID:32866190 and PMID:33646313) were reviewed in full text. BARD1 was mentioned at the gene level in both, but the specific variant c.562C>T (p.Pro188Ser) was not reported in either study. No variant-specific functional, segregation, or case-control data were identified.
