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]

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

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 726 of the RAD50 protein (p.Arg726His). This variant is present in population databases (rs28903092, gnomAD 0.1%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 16385572, 25503501, 32658311). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 128001). 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 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. -

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

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

Variant summary: RAD50 c.2177G>A (p.Arg726His) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the RAD50, zinc hook domain (IPR013134) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00014 in 248808 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in RAD50 causing Nijmegen Breakage Syndrome-Like Disorder (0.00014 vs 0.0024), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, c.2177G>A has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Nijmegen Breakage Syndrome-Like Disorder, and 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: 32658311, 33471991, 31980526, 25503501, 16385572, 31159747, 30924587, 34572942, 22905743, 32868316, 29555771, 32699558, 39315505, 35534704, 31874108, 39256447). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 128001). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Genetic Services Laboratory, University of Chicago
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

DNA sequence analysis of the RAD50 gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.2177G>A, in exon 13 that results in an amino acid change, p.Arg726His. This sequence change has been described in the gnomAD database with frequency of 0.11% in the Ashkenazi Jewish subpopulation (dbSNP rs28903092). The p.Arg726His change affects a moderately conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the RAD50 protein that is known to be functional. In-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL) provide contradictory results for the p.Arg726His substitution. This sequence change has been reported in individuals who had germline genetic testing based on a personal or family history of breast cancer (PMID: 31159747, 16385572, 25503501). Due to insufficient evidences and the lack of functional studies, the clinical significance of the p.Arg726His change remains unknown at this time. -

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

The RAD50 c.2177G>A (p.Arg726His) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with breast cancer (PMID: 32658311 (2021), 25503501 (2015), 16385572 (2006)) and in an individual undergoing hereditary cancer testing (PMID: 31159747 (2019)). In a large scale breast cancer association study, this variant has been observed in breast cancer cases, as well as reportedly healthy individuals (PMID: 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0011 (11/10322 chromosomes in Ashkenazi Jewish 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 predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Variants in candidate genes are classified as variants of uncertain significance in accordance with ACMG guidelines (Richards et al., 2015); Identified in individuals with personal or family history of breast or other cancer and in an individual with primary ovarian insufficiency (Tommiska et al., 2006; Maxwell et al., 2015; Perkins et al., 2018; Tucker et al., 2019); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 29555771, 31159747, 30924587, 31980526, 16385572, 25503501) -

The RAD50 c.2177G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg726His. This variant has been reported in individuals with breast cancer, although its pathogenicity was not established (Tommiska et al. 2006. PubMed ID: 16385572; Maxwell et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25503501, supplementary table 1). It was also reported as a variant of uncertain significance in individuals with a possible hereditary cancer predisposition syndrome (Perkins et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29555771, Table S2; Tsaousis et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31159747, Table S5) and in one individual with premature ovarian insufficiency (Tucker et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 30924587). This variant is reported in 0.11% of alleles in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/5-131931472-G-A). In ClinVar, it has conflicting interpretations, including uncertain significance and likely benign (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/128001/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
