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.

The p.Q332* variant (also known as c.994C>T), located in coding exon 8 of the RAD51C gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 994. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 8. This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of theRAD51C gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and only impacts the last 45 amino acids of the protein. However, premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature and this variant is predicted to truncate the C-terminal region of the protein including the terminal end of the RECA domain (Magrane M et al. Database (Oxford) 2011). This alteration has been detected in an ovarian cancer patient diagnosed at age 63 who had a sister diagnosed with breast cancer at age 46 (Kraus C et al. Int. J. Cancer. 2017 Jan;140:95-102). This variant was also reported in 1/60,466 breast cancer cases and in 0/53,461 controls (Dorling et al. N Engl J Med. 2021 02;384:428-439). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 8 of the RAD51C gene, creating a translation stop signal. The mutant transcript is expected to escape nonsense-mediated decay and be expressed as a truncated protein lacking the nuclear localization signal (PMID: 12966089). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. A functional study has reported that a truncation of the last 11 amino acids of the RAD51C protein partially reduced nuclear localization and ability to rescue sensitivity to mitomycin C treatment in RAD51C-deficient cell (PMID: 12966089). This variant has been reported in an individual affected with bilateral ovarian cancer (PMID: 27616075). 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: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln332*) in the RAD51C gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 45 amino acid(s) of the RAD51C protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with ovarian cancer (PMID: 27616075). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 486279). This variant disrupts a region of the RAD51C protein in which other variant(s) (p.Ser353Hisfs*8) have been determined to be pathogenic (internal data). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
