Genes affected
RAD51D (HGNC:9823): (RAD51 paralog D) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the RAD51 protein family. RAD51 family members are highly similar to bacterial RecA and Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rad51, which are known to be involved in the homologous recombination and repair of DNA. This protein forms a complex with several other members of the RAD51 family, including RAD51L1, RAD51L2, and XRCC2. The protein complex formed with this protein has been shown to catalyze homologous pairing between single- and double-stranded DNA, and is thought to play a role in the early stage of recombinational repair of DNA. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Read-through transcription also exists between this gene and the downstream ring finger and FYVE-like domain containing 1 (RFFL) gene.

The RAD51D p.Arg186X variant was identified in 7 of 15516 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.00045) from individuals or families with breast and/or ovarian cancer or at high risk of ovarian cancer and was not identified in 7744 control chromosomes from healthy individuals (Loveday 2011, Song 20015, Thompson 2013, Keen-Kim 2017, Osher 2012). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs387906843) as “With Pathogenic allele”, ClinVar (classified 5x as pathogenic by Ambry Genetics, Invitae, Counsyl, Color Genomics and GeneDx; classified as risk factor by OMIM), Clinvitae (same references as ClinVar), databases. The variant was not identified in the COSMIC database. The variant was identified in control databases in 8 of 275060 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00003 in the following populations: Ashkenazi Jewish in 4 of 10036 chromosomes (freq. 0.0004); European non-Finnish in 4 of 125824 chromosomes (freq. 0.00003), increasing the likelihood that this may be a low frequency variant in certain populations of origin (Genome Aggregation Consortium Feb 27, 2017). This variant was identified in 2 Canadian individuals with ovarian cancer from the same family, both of whom demonstrated loss of wild-type allele in DNA extracted from tumour cells (Osher 2012). In a 3-generation pedigree segregating ovarian cancer and breast cancer this variant was found in 4 members of the same family (Loveday 2011). The proband had ovarian cancer at age 38; the variant was also confirmed in her sister who had breast cancer at age 39, and two aunts who had breast cancer at age 58 and age 53. Four other relatives on whom no molecular testing could be done died of ovarian cancer ranging in age from 49 to 65 years. Loss of function variants of the RAD51D gene are an established mechanism of disease in breast and ovarian cancer and is the type of variant expected to cause the disorder. In summary, based on the above information this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -

The p.R186* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.556C>T), located in coding exon 6 of the RAD51D gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 556. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 6. This mutation has been described in several breast and/or ovarian cancer patients (Loveday C et al. Nat. Genet. 2011 Sep;43:879-82; Osher D et al. Br. J. Cancer. 2012 Apr;106:1460-3; Song H et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 2015 Sep;33:2901-7; Maxwell KN et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 2016 May;98:801-17; Byers H et al. Eur. J. Hum. Genet. 2016 Nov;24:1591-1597; Lerner-Ellis J et al. J Cancer Res Clin Oncol, 2021 Mar;147:871-879). This mutation has also been reported in an individual diagnosed with grade 2 papillary serous cystadenocarcinoma, in a pre-menopausal breast cancer patient who underwent oophorectomy and was found to have serous tubal intraepithelial cancer, and in prostate cancer patients (Thompson E et al. PLoS One. 2013;8:e54772; Harvey LFB et al. J Minim Invasive Gynecol. 2017 Aug;[Epub ahead of print]; Nguyen-Dumont T et al. Int J Cancer, 2020 10;147:2142-2149). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

Variant summary: The RAD51D c.556C>T (p.Arg186X) variant results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncated or absent RAD51D protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. A truncation located downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory (e.g. p.Arg232X). Mutation taster predicts a damaging outcome for this variant. This variant was found in 6/115838 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000518, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic RAD51D variant (0.000125). It was reported in several breast and ovarian cancer patients indicating causality. In addition multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

The RAD51D p.Arg186X variant was identified in 7 of 15516 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.00045) from individuals or families with breast and/or ovarian cancer or at high risk of ovarian cancer and was not identified in 7744 control chromosomes from healthy individuals (Loveday 2011, Song 20015, Thompson 2013, Keen-Kim 2017, Osher 2012). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs387906843) as “With Pathogenic allele”, ClinVar (classified 5x as pathogenic by Ambry Genetics, Invitae, Counsyl, Color Genomics and GeneDx; classified as risk factor by OMIM), Clinvitae (same references as ClinVar), databases. The variant was not identified in the COSMIC database. The variant was identified in control databases in 8 of 275060 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00003 in the following populations: Ashkenazi Jewish in 4 of 10036 chromosomes (freq. 0.0004); European non-Finnish in 4 of 125824 chromosomes (freq. 0.00003), increasing the likelihood that this may be a low frequency variant in certain populations of origin (Genome Aggregation Consortium Feb 27, 2017). This variant was identified in 2 Canadian individuals with ovarian cancer from the same family, both of whom demonstrated loss of wild-type allele in DNA extracted from tumour cells (Osher 2012). In a 3-generation pedigree segregating ovarian cancer and breast cancer this variant was found in 4 members of the same family (Loveday 2011). The proband had ovarian cancer at age 38; the variant was also confirmed in her sister who had breast cancer at age 39, and two aunts who had breast cancer at age 58 and age 53. Four other relatives on whom no molecular testing could be done died of ovarian cancer ranging in age from 49 to 65 years. Loss of function variants of the RAD51D gene are an established mechanism of disease in breast and ovarian cancer and is the type of variant expected to cause the disorder. In summary, based on the above information this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -
