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 absent from gnomAD v2.1 (exome) and has an extremely low allele frequency in gnomAD v4.1 (AF = 6.20e-6, 10/1,613,658 alleles, 0 homozygotes; grpmax FAF = 4.29e-06). The observed frequency of 0.00062% is well below the 0.1% threshold for PM2 in non-VCEP contexts. Absent from all subpopulations except European (non-Finnish) where it is present at 8.48e-6. Not available in gnomAD-Canada.
Multiple lines of computational evidence predict no impact on the gene product. REVEL score is 0.086 (strongly benign-leaning). BayesDel score is -0.575 (benign-leaning). SpliceAI max delta score is 0.02 (no predicted splicing impact). Multiple independent ClinVar submitters (GeneDx, Labcorp/Women's Health and Genetics) concurred that in silico analysis predicts a benign effect, with Labcorp noting 'five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function.'
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 supporting, BP4 supporting; combination = 1 supporting + 1 supporting benign, which maps to VUS.

OncoKB did not identify variant-specific reviewed functional evidence for this variant; gene-level curated context is available for reviewer follow-up. BARD1, a tumor suppressor involved in the DNA damage response, is altered by mutation in breast and ovarian cancers.
This variant has not previously been reported in somatic cancers (COSMIC).
This variant does not lie in a statistically significant hotspot.

This variant is a missense substitution in BARD1 (NM_000465.4:c.928T>G, p.Ser310Ala) located in exon 4. BARD1 is a tumor suppressor gene involved in the DNA damage response, with germline loss-of-function variants associated with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility.
This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and is present at an extremely low frequency in gnomAD v4.1 (AF = 6.20e-6; 10/1,613,658 alleles, all in the European non-Finnish subpopulation; 0 homozygotes). This extremely low population frequency meets PM2 at supporting strength (well below the 0.1% threshold).
Multiple lines of computational evidence predict a benign effect. REVEL score is 0.086 (strongly benign-leaning). BayesDel score is -0.575 (benign-leaning). SpliceAI max delta score is 0.02, predicting no splicing impact. Multiple independent clinical laboratories concurred that in silico tools predict a benign effect, with Labcorp noting five of five tools predicted no impact. This meets BP4 at supporting strength.
No variant-specific functional studies, case-control data, segregation data, or de novo reports were identified. The variant has been reported in ClinVar predominantly as a Variant of Uncertain Significance (5 clinical laboratories) with one Likely benign classification (Ambry Genetics). No expert panel review has been performed.
Applying generic ACMG/AMP 2015 combination rules (PMIDs:25741868): PM2 (supporting) + BP4 (supporting) results in a final classification of Variant of Uncertain Significance, as the evidence supporting pathogenicity and benign impact are insufficient to reach a more definitive classification.
