Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM2

The NM_058216.3(RAD51C):c.296_297delinsCT(p.Phe99Ser) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. F99L) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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.

The c.296_297delTCinsCT variant, located in coding exon 2 of the RAD51C gene, results from an in-frame deletion of TC and insertion of CT between nucleotide positions 296 and 297. This results in the substitution of the phenylalanine residue for a serine residue at codon 99 (p.F99S), an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species; however, serine is the reference amino acid in other vertebrate species. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This sequence change replaces phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 99 of the RAD51C protein (p.Phe99Ser). Information on the frequency of this variant in the gnomAD database is not available, as this variant may be reported differently in the database. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with RAD51C-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 484734). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. 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. -
