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.

RAD51C (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant located near the start codon (<100nt), not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 12 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 17-58692690-GT-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-58692690-GT-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 538780.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The c.50delT variant, located in coding exon 1 of the RAD51C gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 50, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.F17Sfs*9). The predicted stop codon occurs in the 5’ end of theRAD51C gene. Premature termination codons in the 5’ end of a gene have been reported to escape nonsense-mediated mRNAdecay and/or lead to re-initiation (Rivas et al. Science. 2015 May 8;348(6235):666-9; Lindeboom et al. Nat Genet. 2016 Oct;48(10):1112-8; Rhee et al. Sci Rep. 2017 May 10;7(1):1653). Direct evidence for this alteration is unavailable, however premature termination codons are typically deleterious in nature. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Loss-of-function variants in RAD51C are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20400964, 21990120, 24800917). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with RAD51C-related disease. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Phe17Serfs*9) in the RAD51C gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
