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.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2

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

This missense variant replaces arginine with cysteine at codon 212 of the RAD51C protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function. A functional study has reported that this variant does not impact RAD51C function in binding to other RAD51 paralogs and in a homology-directed repair assay (PMID: 36099300). This variant has been detected in a breast cancer case-control meta-analysis in 1/60466 cases and 0/53461 unaffected individuals (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID RAD51C_000156) and among individuals with personal or family history of breast, ovarian or pancreatic cancer (PMID: 31742824). This variant has been identified in 9/282638 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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 p.R212C variant (also known as c.634C>T), located in coding exon 4 of the RAD51C gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 634. The arginine at codon 212 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. Multiple functional studies on this alteration have demonstrated that it does not impact protein function (Prakash R et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2022 Sep;119:e2202727119; Hu C et al. Cancer Res, 2023 Aug;83:2557-2571). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 212 of the RAD51C protein (p.Arg212Cys). This variant observed in an individual with a personal and/or family history of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 14704354, 31742824, 36099300) also identified in 1/882 Chinese individuals who underwent multi-gene panel testing for HBOC risk assessment (Shao D et al. Cancer Sci, 2020 Feb;111:647-657). This variant is present in population databases (rs137947462, gnomAD 0.01%). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 409842). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"). 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. -

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

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 212 of the RAD51C protein (p.Arg212Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs137947462, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with RAD51C-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 409842). 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) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on RAD51C protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect RAD51C function (PMID: 37253112). 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. -
