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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -2 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.68).

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Jun 20, 2016	The c.2718+3A>G intronic variant results from an A to G substitution 3 nucleotides after coding exon 16 in the RAD50 gene. 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 6501 samples (13002 alleles) with coverage at this position. To date, this alteration has been detected with an allele frequency of approximately 0.001% (greater than 175000 alleles tested) in our clinical cohort. This nucleotide position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. Using the BDGP and ESEfinder splice site prediction tools, this alteration is not predicted to have any significant effect on this splice acceptor/donor site; however, direct evidence is unavailable. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Jan 10, 2017	Nucleotide substitutions within the consensus splice site are relatively common causes of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of nucleotide changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may alter RNA splicing, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a RAD50-related disease. In summary, this is a novel intronic change with uncertain impact on splicing. It has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. This sequence change falls in intron 16 of the RAD50 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the RAD50 protein, but it affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site of the intron. -
