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 CapistranoMay 30, 2024The RAD51C c.506T>C (p.Val169Ala) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMIDs: 20400964 (2010), 21990120 (2012), 22370629 (2012), 22476429 (2012), 22538716 (2012), 32885271 (2021), 34326862 (2021)). The variant has also been identified in individuals affected with diverse cancers including endometrial cancer (PMIDs: 26689913 (2015), 27443514 (2016)), Lynch syndrome-associated cancer and/or polyps (PMID: 25980754 (2015)), leukemias (PMIDs: 18203022 (2008), 37450374 (2023)), low grade glioma (PMID: 26689913 (2015)), and others (PMID: 32885271 (2021)). Despite its occurrence in several published patients, other studies have also identified the variant in several reportedly healthy individuals (PMID: 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/)) and was described as being unlikely to cause breast cancer (PMID: 35039523 (2022)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0005 (13/26132 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Functional studies in vitro have observed that the variant corrected MMC hypersensitivity in chicken DT40 cells (PMID: 20400964 (2010)), restored RAD51 foci formation in human fibroblasts (PMID: 20400964 (2010)), and had DNA repair (HDR) activity in hamster cells comparable to the wild-type (PMID: 37253112 (2023)). A published report in a family affected with breast cancer also suggests this variant may not be responsible for the disease (PMID: 36368728 (2022)), however the available information was limited. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Fanconi anemia complementation group O Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpFeb 04, 2025This 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). 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 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. -
