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.

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.230delG pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 2 of the RAD51C gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 230, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.G77Vfs*24). This variant has been reported in a patient with high-grade serous ovarian cancer and metachronous breast cancer; her ovarian tumor showed loss of the wild type allele (Thompson ER et al. Hum. Mutat., 2012 Jan;33:95-9). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
