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]

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Jan 07, 2016	The c.756G>A variant (also known as p.K252K), located in coding exon 5 of the RAD50 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 756. This nucleotide substitution does not change the lysine at codon 252. However, this change occurs in the last base pair of coding exon 5, which makes it likely to have some effect on normal mRNA splicing. This variant was not reported in population based cohorts in the following databases: Database of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (dbSNP), NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP), and 1000 Genomes Project. In the ESP, this variant was not observed in 6500 samples (13000 alleles) with coverage at this position. To date, this alteration has been detected with an allele frequency of approximately 0.001% (greater than 120000 alleles tested) in our clinical cohort. This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Using the BDGP and ESEfinder splice site prediction tools, this alteration is predicted to weaken the efficiency of the native splice donor site; however, direct evidence is unavailable. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of c.756G>A remains unclear. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Dec 08, 2022	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. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 482091). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with RAD50-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects codon 252 of the RAD50 mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the RAD50 protein. This variant also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 5, which is part of the consensus splice site for this exon. -
