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.

The RAD51C c.428A>G (p.Gln143Arg) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals/families with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMIDs: 21537932 (2011), 22538716 (2012), 24993905 (2014), 26261251 (2015), 26720728 (2016), 26976419 (2016), 26740214 (2016), 27622768 (2017), 31078974 (2019), 35039523 (2022), 33471991 (2021) with LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/RAD51C), as well as in a reportedly healthy individual (PMID: 26261251 (2015)). Functional studies were conflicting regarding the effect of this variant on RAD51C protein function and further research is necessary (PMIDs: 22451500 (2012), 25292178 (2015), 36099300 (2022), 35039523 (2022), 37253112 (2023)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000079 (9/113756 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces glutamine with arginine at codon 143 of the RAD51C protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). Functional studies have shown that this variant partially impairs RAD51 foci formation, homologous recombination and cell cycle control (PMID: 22451500, 25292178) and results in reduced RAD51C binding to RAD51B, RAD51D and XRCC3 (PMID: 36099300). This variant has been reported in three individuals affected with ovarian cancer (PMID: 26261251, 26720728, 35039523) and over ten individuals with breast cancer (PMID: 21537932, 22451500, 22538716, 24993905, 26740214, 26976419, 27622768, 35039523). In a familial breast cancer case-control study, this variant has been identified in 4/5,734 cases and 3/14,382 controls (PMID: 35039523). This variant has been identified in 9/251480 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) and in dozens of individuals lacking a personal history of ovarian or breast cancer (Color internal data). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

The p.Q143R variant (also known as c.428A>G), located in coding exon 3 of the RAD51C gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 428. The glutamine at codon 143 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration has been detected in 2/6237 ovarian cancer patients and 1/5084 healthy control individuals across multiple studies (Loveday C et al. Nat. Genet. 2012 May;44:475-6; Song H et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 2015 Sep;33:2901-7). In another study, this alteration was reported in 0.07% (4/ 5,734) hereditary breast and ovarian cancer families and 0.02% (3/4,382) cancer-free female controls (Lim BWX et al. NPJ Breast Cancer, 2022 Jan;8:10). Further, this variant has been detected in multiple breast cancer patients (Romero A et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2011 Oct;129:939-46; Jønson L et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2016 Jan;155:215-22; Tung N et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 2016 May;34:1460-8). One functional study revealed that RAD51C-deficient cells transfected with this variant were unable to restore RAD51C foci-formation to levels comparable to wild type (less than 50% of wild type foci-formation) (Osorio A et al. Hum. Mol. Genet. 2012 Jul;21:2889-98). 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. -

DNA sequence analysis of the RAD51C gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.428A>G, in exon 3 that results in an amino acid change, p.Gln143Arg. This sequence change has been described in the gnomAD database with a frequency of 0.008% in the European sub-population (dbSNP rs587780255). The p.Gln143Arg change has been reported in individuals with breast or ovarian cancer and a breast cancer family, however co-segregation studies were not performed (PMID: 22451500, 22538716, 21537932, 26976419, 26720728, 26740214). The p.Gln143Arg change affects a highly conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the RAD51C protein that is known to be functional. The p.Gln143Arg substitution appears to be deleterious using several in-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL). Functional studies demonstrated reduced protein activity, reduced homologous recombination activity, increased sensitivity to PARP inhibitors, and failure to suppress cell cycle accumulation compared to the wild-type protein (PMIDs: 22451500, 25292178). Due to insufficient evidence, the clinical significance of the p.Gln143Arg change remains unknown at this time. -

The RAD51C c.428A>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gln143Arg. This variant has been reported in individuals with a history of breast and ovarian cancer (Osorio et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22451500; Supplementary Table 3, Loveday et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22538716; Figure S4, Romero et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21537932; Table A2, Tung et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26976419; Table 1, Gevensleben et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24993905; Table A3, Song et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 26261251; Norquist et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26720728; Neidhardt et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 27622768). In at least one family study, this variant segregated with breast cancer in an individual who inherited the variant from her affected mother. However, in the same family an unaffected maternal aunt was positive for the same variant (Figure 1B, Jønson et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26740214). It has been reported in cases and controls from a breast cancer cohort study (Table S1, Lim et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 35039523). Functional studies of the RAD51C protein suggest this variant impacts protein activity (Osorio et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22451500), specifically homologous recombination, sensitivity to polymerase inhibitors, and cell cycle function (Somyajit et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25292178). This variant is reported in 0.0079% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD and is interpreted as uncertain significance by the vast majority of ClinVar submitters (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/128205/). Although we suspect that this variant may be pathogenic, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

This sequence change replaces glutamine, which is neutral and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 143 of the RAD51C protein (p.Gln143Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs587780255, gnomAD 0.008%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast or ovarian cancer (PMID: 21537932, 22451500, 22538716, 26720728, 26740214, 26976419). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 128205). 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 RAD51C protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects RAD51C function (PMID: 22451500, 25292178). 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. -
