Genetic Disorder Reference Sheet: BARD1

Located on chromosome 2 with 11 exons, BRCA1-associated ring domain (BARD1) is part of the BRCA1/BARD1 protein complex and associated with breast cancer susceptibility. The protein complex enhances ubiquitin ligase activity, which helps regulate centrosome function, repair DNA, and regulate cell cycles to maintain genetic stability. BARD1 interacts with and stabilizes BRCA1 in the repair of double-strand DNA breaks as part of the homologous recombination pathway.
