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.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Jan 31, 2023	The c.498delT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 3 of the RAD51C gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 498, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.D167Ifs*4). In one study, this mutation was identified in a 52-year-old female diagnosed with ovarian cancer (Song H et al. J. Clin. Oncol., 2015 Sep;33:2901-7). In another study, this alteration was identified in two unrelated Danish female breast cancer patients (Jønson L et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat., 2016 Jan;155:215-22). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Apr 26, 2021	This variant deletes 1 nucleotide in exon 3 of the RAD51C gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast cancer and ovarian cancer (PMID: 26261251, 26740214). This variant has been identified in 1/251466 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of RAD51C function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Asp167Ilefs*4) in the RAD51C gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in RAD51C are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20400964, 21990120, 24800917, 29278735). This variant is present in population databases (rs746993675, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with RAD51C-related conditions (PMID: 26261251, 26740214). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 480949). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
