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.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Sep 01, 2015	This variant is denoted RAD51C c.404+3A>G or IVS2+3A>G and consists of a A>G nucleotide substitution at the +3 position of intron 2 of the RAD51C gene. Multiple in silico models predict this variant to destroy the nearby natural donor site for intron 2, and to possibly cause abnormal gene splicing. However, in the absence of RNA or functional studies, the actual effect of this variant is unknown. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. RAD51C c.404+3A>G was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, suggesting it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The adenine (A) nucleotide that is altered is conserved across species. Based on currently available information, it is unclear whether RAD51C c.404+3A>G is pathogenic or benign. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

The c.404+3A>G intronic variant results from an A to G substitution 3 nucleotides after coding exon 2 in the RAD51C gene. This nucleotide position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site and may result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice donor site. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

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. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 409857). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with RAD51C-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change falls in intron 2 of the RAD51C gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the RAD51C protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. -
