Genes affected
RAD51C (HGNC:9820): (RAD51 paralog C) This gene is a member of the RAD51 family. RAD51 family members are highly similar to bacterial RecA and Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rad51 and are known to be involved in the homologous recombination and repair of DNA. This protein can interact with other RAD51 paralogs and is reported to be important for Holliday junction resolution. Mutations in this gene are associated with Fanconi anemia-like syndrome. This gene is one of four localized to a region of chromosome 17q23 where amplification occurs frequently in breast tumors. Overexpression of the four genes during amplification has been observed and suggests a possible role in tumor progression. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 18 of the RAD51C protein (p.Pro18Ser). TThis amino acid position is well conserved (PhyloP=3.38). This variant is present in population databases (rs547142453, gnomAD 0.03%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with a personal and/or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 29470806). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 232581). In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. 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. Heterozygous pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants in the RAD51C gene are associated with hereditary breast/ovarian cancer (OMIM# 613399). -

Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces proline with serine at codon 18 of the RAD51C protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in two individuals affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 29470806). This variant has been identified in 10/251454 chromosomes 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. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant is denoted RAD51C c.52C>T at the cDNA level, p.Pro18Ser (P18S) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Proline to a Serine (CCG>TCG). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. RAD51C Pro18Ser was not observed at a significant allele frequency in large population cohorts (Lek 2016). RAD51C Pro18Ser is located in the region required for holiday junction resolution activity (UniProt). In-silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether RAD51C Pro18Ser is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 18 of the RAD51C protein (p.Pro18Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs547142453, gnomAD 0.03%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with a personal and/or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 29470806). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 232581). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt RAD51C protein function. 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. -
