dbSNP rs371608994: RAD51C:p.Glu45Glu (chr17-58692778-G-A) – ACMG Classification: Likely_benign (-6 pts)

Variant summary

Our verdict is The variant received -6 classification points (ACMG Germline Pathogenicity v2019). PM2_SupportingBP4_ModerateBP6_StrongBP7

The NM_058216.3(RAD51C):c.135G>A (p.Glu45Glu) variant causes a synonymous change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a cumulative frequency of 0.0000041 (AC=6) in the gnomAD database across 1,461,872 control chromosomes (no homozygotes observed). The grpmax filtering allele frequency (95% CI) is 0.0000147. Note: a gnomAD entry for this variant shows a statistical allele-bias signature, consistent with mosaic/somatic contamination (e.g. age-related clonal hematopoiesis) rather than true inherited population frequency — this frequency should not be read as evidence of a common, benign germline variant. In-silico predictor (BayesDel (noAF)) classifies this variant as likely benign. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Benign/Likely Benign (★★).

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.

Classification according to ACMG Germline Pathogenicity v2019

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -6 points.

PM2

Rare in gnomAD for AD/XL gene (popmax AF below threshold) — PM2 Supporting; GnomAD popmax AF = 0.0000147 — borderline rare for AD+AR gene (threshold 0.0001) — PM2 supporting.

BP4

Computational evidence supports benign — no pathogenic computational or splicing signal (BP4); Splicing verdict: benign (Strong).; Germline computational verdict: benign (Moderate).

BP6

ClinVar 2-star benign — strong (BP6); ClinVar germline classification: Benign/Likely Benign, 2 star(s).

BP7

Synonymous variant at non-conserved position with no predicted splicing impact (BP7); Synonymous at non-conserved position, no splicing concern — benign (BP7).
