Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points: 0P and 2B. BP4_Moderate
The NM_005732.4(RAD50):c.2903G>A(p.Gly968Glu) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000341 in 1,611,504 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 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. G968R) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2
The p.G968E variant (also known as c.2903G>A), located in coding exon 18 of the RAD50 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2903. The glycine at codon 968 is replaced by glutamic acid, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been detected in 1/1824 patients with triple negative breast cancer who were unselected for a family history of breast or ovarian cancer (Couch FJ et al. J. Clin. Oncol., 2015 Feb;33:304-11). This alteration was reported in 1/60,466 breast cancer cases and in 0/53,461 controls (Dorling et al. N Engl J Med. 2021 02;384:428-439). This alteration was detected in a patient with uterine serous carcinoma (Frimer M et al. Gynecol Oncol, 2016 Apr;141:101-7). This variant was also identified in a cohort of 3,579 African males diagnosed with prostate cancer who underwent multi-gene panel testing of 19 DNA repair and cancer predisposition genes (Matejcic M et al. JCO Precis Oncol, 2020 Jan;4:32-43). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 968 of the RAD50 protein (p.Gly968Glu). This variant is present in population databases (rs199895166, gnomAD 0.07%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer and endometrial cancer (PMID: 25452441, 27016235). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 184957). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt RAD50 protein function with a negative 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.2903G>A (p.Gly968Glu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 5.2e-05 in 248662 control chromosomes in gnomAD. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in RAD50 causing Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (5.2e-05 vs 6.3e-05), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.2903G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with uterine serous carcinoma or Breast Cancer without strong evidence for causality (example: Couch_2015, Frimer_2016). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. 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: 25452441, 27016235). Four submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

The RAD50 c.2903G>A (p.Gly968Glu) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals affected with uterine serous carcinoma (PMID: 27016235 (2016)), kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (PMID: 26689913 (2015)), and breast cancer (PMIDs: 33471991 (2021), 25452441 (2015), see also see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00062 (15/24030 chromosomes in African/African American subpopulation (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. -
