This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 3 of the RAD51D gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in RAD51D are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 21822267). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer and/or breast cancer (PMID: 26261251, 26720728, 29506128, 32107557). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 480542). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site is associated with inconclusive levels of altered splicing (internal data). 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. -
This variant is considered likely pathogenic. This variant occurs within a consensus splice junction and is predicted to result in abnormal mRNA splicing of either an out-of-frame exon or an in-frame exon necessary for protein stability and/or normal function. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1Uncertain:1
The c.263+1G>A intronic variant results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 3 of the RAD51D gene. This alteration has been identified in a 64 year old woman with ovarian cancer (Norquist BM et al. JAMA Oncol, 2016 Apr;2:482-90) and in an unaffected 53 year old patient with a family history of ovarian cancer (Song H et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 2015 Sep;33:2901-7). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site; however, direct evidence is insufficient at this time (Ambry internal data). In addition, RNA data has shown that exon 3 is excluded in several naturally occurring RAD51D isoforms (Davy G et al. Eur. J. Hum. Genet., 2017 10;25:1147-1154; Ambry internal data). Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

not provided Uncertain:1
Canonical splice site variant predicted to result in skipping of the adjacent exon 3; however, RNA studies demonstrate naturally occurring isoforms lacking exon 3 in multiple tissues (Davy 2017, Brandao 2019); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek 2016); Observed in individuals with personal and family history of ovarian cancer or with pancreatic cancer (Song 2015, Lowery 2018); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 29506128, 26261251) -
RAD51D-related disorder Uncertain:1
The RAD51D c.263+1G>A variant is predicted to disrupt the GT donor site and interfere with normal splicing. This variant has been previously reported in individuals with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Song et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 26261251; Yang et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32107557, Supplementary Table 6; Norquist et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26720728, eTable 1), and observed in a cohort of patients with exocrine pancreatic neoplasms (Lowery et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29506128). This variant has not been reported in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. This variant has conflicting interpretations of pathogenicity in ClinVar ranging from likely pathogenic to uncertain significance (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/480542/). Although we suspect that c.263+1G>A variant may be pathogenic, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
