Genes affected

RAD51D (HGNC:9823): (RAD51 paralog D) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the RAD51 protein family. RAD51 family members are highly similar to bacterial RecA and Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rad51, which are known to be involved in the homologous recombination and repair of DNA. This protein forms a complex with several other members of the RAD51 family, including RAD51L1, RAD51L2, and XRCC2. The protein complex formed with this protein has been shown to catalyze homologous pairing between single- and double-stranded DNA, and is thought to play a role in the early stage of recombinational repair of DNA. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Read-through transcription also exists between this gene and the downstream ring finger and FYVE-like domain containing 1 (RFFL) gene.

This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 117 of the RAD51D protein (p.Cys117Ser). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer and ovarian cancer (PMID: 25186627, 26261251). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 184247). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt RAD51D protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Studies have shown that this missense change is associated with inconclusive levels of altered splicing (PMID: 28905878; internal data). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

This missense variant replaces cysteine with serine at codon 117 of the RAD51D protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast cancer or ovarian cancer (PMID: 25186627, 26261251). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

The p.C117S variant (also known as c.349T>A), located in coding exon 5 of the RAD51D gene, results from a T to A substitution at nucleotide position 349. The cysteine at codon 117 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. In one study, this alteration was detected in 1/3429 patients with invasive epithelial ovarian cancer and 0/2772 controls (Song H et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 2015 Sep;33:2901-7). This alteration has also been detected in 1/1781 individuals with a breast cancer diagnosis (Tung N. Cancer. 2015 Jan;121(1):25-33). In addition, this alteration was reported in 4/60,466 breast cancer cases and in 2/53,461 controls (Dorling et al. N Engl J Med. 2021 02;384:428-439). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

Variant summary: RAD51D c.349T>A (p.Cys117Ser) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the DNA recombination and repair protein Rad51-like, C-terminal (IPR003593) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251350 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.349T>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (Tung_2015, Song_2015). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 26261251, 25186627). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 184247). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
