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.

not provided Uncertain:3
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxFeb 03, 2023In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingQuest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan CapistranoNov 10, 2022The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00087 (16/18394 chromosomes in East Asian subpopulation, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is higher than would generally be expected for pathogenic variants in this gene. In a large-scale breast cancer association study, the variant was observed in individuals with breast cancer as well as in unaffected individuals (PMID: 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/RAD51C)). Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1Benign:1
Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsApr 13, 2021This alteration is classified as 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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthDec 06, 2022This missense variant replaces threonine with isoleucine at codon 78 of the RAD51C 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. In a large breast cancer case-control study, this variant was identified in 9/60457 cases and 12/53449 controls - OR=0.663 (95%CI 0.279 to 1.574); p-value=0.387 (PMID: 33471991 - Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID RAD51C_000098). This variant has been identified in 16/251456 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. -

Malignant tumor of breast Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System-The RAD51C p.Thr78Ile variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the LOVD 3.0. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs112832782) as "With Uncertain significance allele", ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by Invitae, GeneDx, Ambry Genetics and Color) . The variant was identified in control databases in 15 of 246228 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00006 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the East Asian population in 15 of 17248 chromosomes (freq: 0.0009), while the variant was not observed in the African, Other, Latino, European, Ashkenazi Jewish, Finnish, and South Asian populations. The p.Thr78 residue is not conserved in mammals and four out of five computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 1 of 4 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; this is not very predictive of pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -
Fanconi anemia complementation group O Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 27, 2024This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 78 of the RAD51C protein (p.Thr78Ile). This variant is present in population databases (rs112832782, gnomAD 0.09%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer and/or pancreatic cancer (PMID: 36562461). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 241767). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect RAD51C function (PMID: 36562461). 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. -
