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.

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant causes a G to T nucleotide substitution at the +1 position of intron 1 of the RAD51C gene. A RNA study has shown reduced level of the wild-type transcript and increased level of a non-functional transcript that uses an alternative intron 1 splice donor site (PMID:20400964). This variant has been observed in related individuals affected with breast or ovarian cancer (PMID:20400964). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of RAD51C function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.145+1G>T intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to T substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 1 of the RAD51C gene. This mutation was identified in a German breast and ovarian cancer family. RT-PCR analysis of a c.145+1G>T splicing reporter showed complete inactivation of the donor site. In addition, breast tumor tissue from a c.145+1G>T mutation carrier demonstrated loss of the wild-type allele (Meindl A et al. Nat Genet. 2010 May;42(5):410-4). In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site; however, direct evidence is insufficient at this time (Ambry internal data). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is classified as a disease-causing mutation.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 1 of the RAD51C gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or altered protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 20400964). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 233766). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site alters mRNA splicing and is expected to lead to the loss of protein expression (PMID: 20400964; Invitae). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
