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
Jan 16, 2020
Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health
Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant causes a G>A nucleotide substitution at the +1 position of intron 1 of the RAD51C gene. Splice site prediction tools predict that this variant may have a significant impact on RNA splicing. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has been identified in 1/251282 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 Likely Pathogenic. -

Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.145+1G>A intronic variant results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 1 of the RAD51C gene. A similar alteration at this position, c.145+1G>T, was identified in 1/480 German families with both breast and ovarian cancer, and was not observed in 620 breast cancer only families or 2912 healthy controls; RT-PCR analysis confirmed that this alteration disrupts splicing and results in an aberrant transcript, and the authors identified loss of the wild-type allele in tumor cells from an individual with this alteration (Meindl A et al. Nat. Genet., 2010 May;42:410-4). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site. Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is classified as likely pathogenic. -

Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant is considered likely pathogenic. This variant occurs within a consensus splice junction and is predicted to result in abnormal mRNA splicing of either an out-of-frame exon or an in-frame exon necessary for protein stability and/or normal function. -

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site alters mRNA splicing and is expected to lead to the loss of protein expression (PMID: 20400964; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 484741). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 20400964). This variant is present in population databases (rs757128712, gnomAD 0.006%). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 1 of the RAD51C gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
