Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the RAD51 gene is commonly pathogenic or not.

In the table, we include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, Mane Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equals 1. Click the count to view the source variants.

Warning: slight differences between displayed counts and the number of variants in ClinVar may occur, primarily due to (1) the application of a different transcript and/or consequence by our variant effect predictor or (2) differences in clinical significance: we classify Benign/Likely benign variants as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic variants as Likely pathogenic.

• Function: FUNCTION: Plays an important role in homologous strand exchange, a key step in DNA repair through homologous recombination (HR) (PubMed:28575658). Binds to single and double-stranded DNA and exhibits DNA-dependent ATPase activity. Catalyzes the recognition of homology and strand exchange between homologous DNA partners to form a joint molecule between a processed DNA break and the repair template. Binds to single-stranded DNA in an ATP-dependent manner to form nucleoprotein filaments which are essential for the homology search and strand exchange (PubMed:26681308). Part of a PALB2-scaffolded HR complex containing BRCA2 and RAD51C and which is thought to play a role in DNA repair by HR. Plays a role in regulating mitochondrial DNA copy number under conditions of oxidative stress in the presence of RAD51C and XRCC3. Also involved in interstrand cross-link repair (PubMed:26253028). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12205100, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12442171, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18417535, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20231364, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20348101, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20413593, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23509288, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23754376, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26253028, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26681308, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28575658}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Breast cancer (BC) [MIM:114480]: A common malignancy originating from breast epithelial tissue. Breast neoplasms can be distinguished by their histologic pattern. Invasive ductal carcinoma is by far the most common type. Breast cancer is etiologically and genetically heterogeneous. Important genetic factors have been indicated by familial occurrence and bilateral involvement. Mutations at more than one locus can be involved in different families or even in the same case. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10807537, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25539919}. Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Mirror movements 2 (MRMV2) [MIM:614508]: A disorder characterized by contralateral involuntary movements that mirror voluntary ones. While mirror movements are occasionally found in young children, persistence beyond the age of 10 is abnormal. Mirror movements occur more commonly in the upper extremities. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22305526}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Fanconi anemia, complementation group R (FANCR) [MIM:617244]: A disorder affecting all bone marrow elements and resulting in anemia, leukopenia and thrombopenia. It is associated with cardiac, renal and limb malformations, dermal pigmentary changes, and a predisposition to the development of malignancies. At the cellular level it is associated with hypersensitivity to DNA-damaging agents, chromosomal instability (increased chromosome breakage) and defective DNA repair. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26253028, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26681308}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
