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.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingQuest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan CapistranoJun 22, 2023In the published literature, this variant has been reported in individuals with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 22538716 (2012), 21990120 (2012), 22370629 (2012), 22476429 (2012), and 20400964 (2010)). The variant has also been identified in individuals affected with either a history of Lynch syndrome-associated cancer and/or polyps, B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia, endometrial carcinoma, or low grade glioma (PMID: 27443514 (2016), 26689913 (2015), 25980754 (2015), 18203022 (2008)). In a large-scale breast cancer association study, the variant was observed in individuals with breast cancer as well as unaffected individuals (PMID: 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/RAD51C)). Assessment of experimental studies yielded non-damaging results regarding the impact of this variant on protein function (PMID: 20400964 (2010)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00033 (42/129164 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is benign or damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 29, 2024This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 169 of the RAD51C protein (p.Val169Ala). This variant is present in population databases (rs587780256, gnomAD 0.03%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast or ovarian cancer (PMID: 18203022, 20400964, 21990120, 22370629, 22476429, 22538716, 25980754, 26689913, 27443514, 34326862). This variant is also known as 4150T>C. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 128206). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae 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 does not substantially affect RAD51C function (PMID: 20400964). 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. -

Malignant tumor of breast Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System-The RAD51C p.Val169Ala variant was identified in 11 of 30,036 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0004) from individuals or families with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Lynch Syndrome, glioma, endometrial, and hereditary breast and ovarian cancer and was present in 2 of 16,372 control chromosomes (frequency: 0.0001) from healthy individuals (Sellick 2008, Meindl 2009, Lu 2012, De Leeneer 2012, Thompson 2012, Loveday 2012, Yurgelun 2015, Ring 2016, Lu 2015, Song 2015). The variant was identified in dbSNP (rs587780256) as “with uncertain significance allele”, in ClinVar (classified as likely benign by Ambry Genetics, Color and GeneDx, uncertain significance by Invitae and Counsyl and benign by Integrated Genetics) and LOVD 3.0 (observed 4x). The variant was identified in control databases in 42 of 282,840 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0001 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: European in 42 of 129,164 chromosomes (freq: 0.0003); it was not observed in the African, Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, Finnish, Other and South Asian populations. In one study in vitro expressio n of the variant had a similar effect on cell survival and RAD51C protein expression compared to wild type (Meindl 2009). The p.Val169 residue is conserved in mammals but not in more distantly related organisms however four out of five computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 1 of 4 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; this is not very predictive of pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -
