Genes affected
RAD50 (HGNC:9816): (RAD50 double strand break repair protein) The protein encoded by this gene is highly similar to Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rad50, a protein involved in DNA double-strand break repair. This protein forms a complex with MRE11 and NBS1. The protein complex binds to DNA and displays numerous enzymatic activities that are required for nonhomologous joining of DNA ends. This protein, cooperating with its partners, is important for DNA double-strand break repair, cell cycle checkpoint activation, telomere maintenance, and meiotic recombination. Knockout studies of the mouse homolog suggest this gene is essential for cell growth and viability. Mutations in this gene are the cause of Nijmegen breakage syndrome-like disorder.[provided by RefSeq, Apr 2010]

Observed in individuals with breast cancer and in an unaffected female with a family history of ovarian and other cancers who also carried a pathogenic variant in RAD51C (Haiman 2013, Damiola 2014, Lu 2015, Schoolmeester 2017); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Variants in candidate genes are classified as variants of uncertain significance in accordance with ACMG guidelines (Richards 2015); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 24894818, 26689913, 26787654, 28709830, 23555315) -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Collection Method:clinical testing

The RAD50 c.1336A>G (p.Lys446Glu) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with breast cancer (PMID: 24894818 (2014)) and ovarian cancer (PMID: 30441849 (2018)). This variant has also been reported in an unaffected individual who also carried a gross exonic deletion in the RAD51C gene (PMID: 28709830 (2017)). In a large breast cancer association study, this variant was found in individuals with breast cancer cases as well as in reportedly healthy individuals (PMID: 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/RAD50)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0014 (36/26090 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is higher than would generally be expected for pathogenic variants in this gene. 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. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

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

This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 446 of the RAD50 protein (p.Lys446Glu). This variant is present in population databases (rs149217423, gnomAD 0.05%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 24894818, 26689913, 30441849). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 140939). 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 expected to disrupt RAD50 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. 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: RAD50 c.1336A>G (p.Lys446Glu) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00026 in 250474 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in RAD50 causing Nijmegen Breakage Syndrome-Like Disorder (0.00026 vs 0.0024), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1336A>G, has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer, without strong evidence for pathogenicity (Damiola_2014, Haiman_2013, Lu_2015, Schoolmeester_2017, Young_2016). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Nijmegen Breakage Syndrome-Like Disorder. 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: 24894818, 23555315, 26689913, 28709830, 26787654, 19917125, 32807118, 28102005, 35250968, 33994539, 30441849). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 140939). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
