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.

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The RAD51C c.1008A>G (p.Thr336=) synonymous change is absent in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). Algorithms that predict the impact of sequence changes on splicing indicate that this change may activate a cryptic donor splice site. RNA data supports this prediction and desmontrates alternative splicing that results in the removal of six amino acids in exon 8 while preserving the reading frame (internal data). This variant is absent in a database of women older than 70 years of age who have never had cancer (https://whi.color.com/). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome or Fanconi anemia. In summary, the evidence currently available is insufficient to determine the clinical significance of this variant. It has therefore been classified as of uncertain significance. -

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge; In silico analysis, which includes splice predictors and evolutionary conservation, suggests this variant may impact gene splicing. In the absence of RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of this sequence change is unknown. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

The RAD51C p.Thr336= variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the following databases: dbSNP, Cosmic, MutDB, or LOVD 3.0. The variant was identified in ClinVar (classified as likely benign by Ambry Genetics and Invitae). The variant was not identified in the Exome Aggregation Consortium (August 8th 2016), or the Genome Aggregation Database (Feb 27, 2017). The p.Thr336= variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it does not result in a change of amino acid and is not located in a known consensus splice site. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence, although 1 of 4 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; this is not very predictive of pathogenicity. 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. -
