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.

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 258 of the RAD51C protein (p.Arg258His). This variant is present in population databases (rs267606997, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with breast and/or ovarian cancer and features of Fanconi anemia (PMID: 20400963, 25154786, 26740214, 32054657, 32242007). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 6822). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt RAD51C protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects RAD51C function (PMID: 20400963, 22167183, 26354865). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

PM3, PP1 c.773G>A, located in exon 5 of the RAD51C gene, is predicted to result in the substitution of arginine by histidine at codon 258, p.(Arg258His). This variant is found in 4/102712 alleles at a frequency of 0.0038% within the European (non-Finnish) population in the gnomAD v2.1.1 database, non-cancer dataset. The SpliceAI algorithm predicts no significant impact on splicing and the REVEL meta-predictor score (0.497) for this variant is indeterminate regarding the effect that it may have on protein function according Pejaver 2022 thresholds (PMID: 36413997). This variant has been reported in homozygosity in two pediatric siblings showing features of Fanconi anemia (PMID: 20400963) (PM3, PP1). Functional studies have shown that the mutant protein shows a reduced DNA damage response in transduced primary fibroblasts from a FA patient carrying the variant in homozygous and in the chicken ΔRAD51C-DT40 cell line, but in another cell line, the hamster cell line irs3, there was some evidence suggesting the variant is a hypomorphic mutant as some residual RAD51C function may be reserved (PMID: 20400963, 20952512). This variant has been reported in the ClinVar database (7x likely pathogenic, 5x pathogenic) and in the LOVD database (1x likely pathogenic, 7x pathogenic). Based on the currently available information, c.773G>A is classified as an uncertain significance variant according to ACMG guidelines. -

The p.R258H variant (also known as c.773G>A), located in coding exon 5 of the RAD51C gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 773. The arginine at codon 258 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. In one Pakistani family, two siblings affected with Fanconi anemia-like disorder were both homozygous for this alteration, while their consanguineous parents were both heterozygous for this alteration and an unaffected sibling was homozygous for the wild type allele (Vaz F et al. Nat. Genet. 2010 May; 42(5):406-9). Multiple functional studies on this alteration have demonstrated impaired protein function, with some evidence suggesting it is a hypomorphic mutant as some residual RAD51C function may be reserved (Vaz F et al. Nat. Genet. 2010 May; 42(5):406-9; Somyajit K et al. Carcinogenesis. 2010 Dec; 31(12):2031-8; Somyajit K et al. J. Biol. Chem. 2012 Jan; 287(5):3366-80;Park JY et al. Oncogene, 2014 Oct;33:4803-12). This alteration has also been reported in cohorts of individuals with increased risk of hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer (J&oslash;nson L et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2016 Jan; 155(2):215-22; Nguyen-Dumont T et al. Int J Cancer, 2020 10;147:2142-2149; Shao D et al. Cancer Sci, 2020 Feb;111:647-657; Subramanian DN et al. Nat Commun, 2020 04;11:1640). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces arginine with histidine at codon 258 in the RAD51B/RAD51D/ XRCC3 interacting domain of the RAD51C protein. Computational prediction tool suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <=0.5, PMID: 27666373). Functional studies have shown that the mutant protein shows a reduced DNA damage response (PMID: 20400963, 22167183) and reduced ability to bind to other proteins involved in DNA repair (PMID 22167183, 24141787). This variant has been reported in homozygosity in two pediatric siblings and an adult individual showing features of Fanconi anemia (PMID: 20400963, 32054657). This variant has also been observed in an individual affected with familial ovarian cancer (PMID: 32242007) and breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 26740214), as well as in an unaffected individual (PMID 25154786). This variant has been identified in 4/251428 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Observed in individuals with personal and/or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 31742824, 32242007, 35039523, 37444530); Published functional studies suggest a damaging effect: failure to protect replication forks, moderately suppressed G2/M accumulation, partial loss of homologous recombination activity and DNA interstrand cross-link repair, reduced RAD51 foci formation, and decreased binding affinity (PMID: 22167183, 25292178, 26354865, 36099300, 37253112, 37488098); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 26103414, 20400964, 25833843, 20952512, 21821141, 22167183, 26354865, 20400963, 27037238, 20428093, 26740214, 29278735, 25154786, 29922827, 22451500, 24141787, 28152038, 31589614, 31742824, 32338768, 32090079, 33015624, 32054657, 33804961, 34910513, 30551670, 35039523, 32242007, 37444530, 25292178, 36099300, 37253112, 37488098, 28829762, 27149842, 24998779, 36562461, 35740625, 14704354, 34887416, 36906610) -

Variant summary: RAD51C c.773G>A (p.Arg258His) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the DNA recombination and repair protein Rad51-like, C-terminal (IPR013632) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 251428 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.773G>A has been reported in the literature as a biallelic mutation in multiple individuals from a family affected with Fanconi-anemia-like disorder (Vaz_2010). The variant has also been reported in at least one patient with breast cancer family history, although this patient also had a co-occurring mutation in BRCA2 that was predicted by the authors to be pathogenic (Ahlborn_2014, Jonson_2016). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. Several publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. Cells expressing the variant protein were shown to have decreased formation of RAD51 foci in response to DNA damage (Vaz_2010), a reduction in binding to other proteins in a complex with BRCA2, PALB2, and RAD51 (Park_2014) and impaired replication fork maintenance (Somyajit_2015). Collectively, these data indicate that the variant results in an impaired ability to repair DNA damage. Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories cited the variant as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
