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 benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

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.

Variant summary: RAD51C c.744T>C alters a non-conserved nucleotide resulting in a synonymous change. 5/5 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant was found in the gnomAD database at an overall frequency of 0.0000433, but was observed exclusively in the African subpopulation at a frequency of 0.0005. This frequency within African control individuals is approximately 8-fold above the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in RAD51C causing Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer phenotype (6.3e-05), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of African origin. c.744T>C has been reported in the literature in one individual affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. However, this report does not provide strong evidence for pathogenicity. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and all classified the variant as likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign.
