Genes affected
RAD50 (HGNC:9816): (RAD50 double strand break repair protein) The protein encoded by this gene is highly similar to Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rad50, a protein involved in DNA double-strand break repair. This protein forms a complex with MRE11 and NBS1. The protein complex binds to DNA and displays numerous enzymatic activities that are required for nonhomologous joining of DNA ends. This protein, cooperating with its partners, is important for DNA double-strand break repair, cell cycle checkpoint activation, telomere maintenance, and meiotic recombination. Knockout studies of the mouse homolog suggest this gene is essential for cell growth and viability. Mutations in this gene are the cause of Nijmegen breakage syndrome-like disorder.[provided by RefSeq, Apr 2010]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln575Thrfs*3) in the RAD50 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in RAD50 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19409520). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with hereditary cancer (PMID: 16385572, 19409520, 24763289). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142556). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.1722dupA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 11 of the RAD50 gene, results from a duplication of A at nucleotide position 1722, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.Q575Tfs*3). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.

This frameshift variant alters the translational reading frame of the RAD50 mRNA and causes the premature termination of RAD50 protein synthesis. The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000004 (1/251222 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is consistent with pathogenicity. In the published literature, the variant has been reported in an individual undergoing hereditary cancer predisposition testing (PMID: 24763289 (2014)). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic.

Variant summary: RAD50 c.1722dupA (p.Gln575ThrfsX3) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251222 control chromosomes. c.1722dupA has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with breast cancer (e.g. Bucalo_2023). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 37262986). Four submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
