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 RAD51C c.784T>G (p.Leu262Val) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMIDs: 26740214 (2016), 26261251 (2015), 24504028 (2014), 21990120 (2012)), pancreatic cancer (PMID: 32659497 (2020), 28767289 (2017), 28135145 (2017)), as well as in healthy controls (PMID: 26261251 (2015)). Additionally, the variant has been reported in a large-scale breast cancer association study, and 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)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00022 (11/50798 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is benign or damaging. Additional analysis using software algorithms for the prediction of the effect of nucleotide changes on RAD51C mRNA splicing yielded predictions that this variant may result in the gain of a cryptic splice site without affecting the natural splice sites. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

This missense variant replaces leucine with valine at codon 262 of the RAD51C protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function. Experimental studies have reported that this variant does not impact function (PMID: 36099300, 39299233). This variant has been observed in individuals affected with breast, ovarian, and pancreatic cancer (PMID: 21990120, 24504028, 26261251, 26740214, 28767289, 32659497, 35039523, 36099300), and with a pathogenic ATM co-variant in an individual affected with colon cancer (PMID: 28135145). This variant has also been reported in an unaffected individual in a case-control study of ovarian cancer (PMID: 26261251). In a large breast cancer case-control meta-analysis, this variant has been observed in 25/60441 cases and 13/53448 controls (OR=1.701, 95%CI 0.87 to 3.324, p-value=0.143; PMID: 33471991). This variant has been identified in 20/282828 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) and in 5 individuals age 70 years or older without cancer by FLOSSIES. 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. -

The c.784T>G variant (also known as p.L262V), located in coding exon 5 of the RAD51C gene, results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 784. The leucine at codon 262 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration has been identified in individuals diagnosed with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Thompson ER et al. Hum. Mutat. 2012 Jan;33:95-9; Song H et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 2015 Sep;33:2901-7; Jønson L et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2016 Jan;155:215-22; Hauke J et al. Cancer Med. 2018 04;7:1349-1358; Lerner-Ellis J et al. J Cancer Res Clin Oncol, 2021 Mar;147:871-879). This alteration has also been reported in an individual diagnosed with pancreatic cancer (Shindo K et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 2017 Oct;35:3382-3390). Additionally, in a homology-directed DNA repair (HDR) assay, this alteration showed a functionally normal read-out (Hu C et al. Cancer Res, 2023 Aug;83:2557-2571). This nucleotide position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice donor site. RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in an incomplete splice defect in the set of samples tested; the clinical impact of this abnormal splicing is unknown at this time (Ambry internal data). Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 262 of the RAD51C protein (p.Leu262Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs149331537, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, colon cancer (PMID: 21990120, 26261251, 26740214, 28135145, 28767289, 35039523, 36099300). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 128210). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt RAD51C protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect RAD51C function (PMID: 37253112). Studies have shown that this missense change is associated with inconclusive levels of altered splicing (internal data). 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. -

Variant summary: RAD51C c.784T>G (p.Leu262Val) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the DNA recombination and repair protein Rad51-like, C-terminal domain of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 5.7e-05 in 261730 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in RAD51C causing Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (5.7e-05 vs 6.3e-05), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.784T>G has been reported in several patients with breast and/or ovarian cancer, colorectal cancer and pancreatic cancer (Thompson_2011, Cunningham_2014, Song_2015, Jonson_2016, Yurgelun_2017, Shindo_2017, etc), without clear evidence supporting pathogenicity. In a study (Song_2015), the variant was found to be slightly overrepresented in ovarian cases (4/3429) than in controls (1/2772). One internal case tested for inherited cancer panel also carried a pathogenic variant in ATM c.1339C>T (p.Arg447X). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 25086635, 30306255, 24504028, 33471991, 32659497, 26740214, 23117857, 32885271, 31874108, 29416752, 30426508, 28767289, 26261251, 25470109, 21990120, 28135145). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 128210). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

The RAD51C c.784T>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Leu262Val. This variant has been reported as a variant of uncertain significance in multiple individuals with BRCA1/2-negative breast/ovarian cancer (for example, see Thompson et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 21990120; Cunningham et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24504028; Lerner-Ellis et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 32885271) and one individual with pancreatic cancer (Shindo et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28767289). However, it has also been reported in an individual with colorectal cancer who was heterozygous for pathogenic variants in the ATM and KRAS genes (Yurgelun et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28135145). In vitro studies suggest that this variant does not significantly alter protein-protein interactions between RAD51C and its binding partners relative to wild type (Prakash et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 36099300). Additionally, this variant is predicted to generate a cryptic splice donor site by available in silico splicing prediction programs (Alamut Visual Plus v1.6.1; https://spliceailookup.broadinstitute.org/), but this has not been directly confirmed by functional studies or RNA sequencing analysis. This variant is reported in 0.012% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD and is classified as a variant of uncertain significance in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/128210/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The RAD51C p.Leu262Val variant was identified in 6 of 12090 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.001) from individuals or families with breast and ovarian cancer and was present in 1 of 4854 control chromosomes (frequency: 0.0002) from healthy individuals (Jonson 2015, Song 2015, Thompson 2012). The variant was also identified in the following databases: dbSNP (ID: rs149331537) as With Uncertain significance allele, ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by GeneDx, Ambry Genetics, Invitae, Counsyl, Color Genomics), and LOVD 3.0 (2X). The variant was not identified in the Cosmic or MutDB databases. The variant was identified in control databases in 19 of 277192 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000069 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). Breakdown of the observations by population include African in 1 of 24034 chromosomes (freq: 0.00004), Other in 1 of 6466 chromosomes (freq: 0.0002), European Non-Finnish in 16 of 126684 chromosomes (freq: 0.0001), European Finnish in 1 of 25790 chromosomes (freq: 0.00004), while the variant was not observed in the Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, and South Asian populations. The p.Leu262 residue is conserved across mammals and other organisms, and four out of five computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) suggest that the p.Leu262Val variant may impact the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to assume pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 5 of 5 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing. However, this information is not predictive enough to assume pathogenicity. In addition, Human Splicing Finder (HSF) splice analysis showed the possible introduction of a cryptic donor site caused by c.784T>G (Thompson 2012). 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. -
