Genes affected
RAD51D (HGNC:9823): (RAD51 paralog D) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the RAD51 protein family. RAD51 family members are highly similar to bacterial RecA and Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rad51, which are known to be involved in the homologous recombination and repair of DNA. This protein forms a complex with several other members of the RAD51 family, including RAD51L1, RAD51L2, and XRCC2. The protein complex formed with this protein has been shown to catalyze homologous pairing between single- and double-stranded DNA, and is thought to play a role in the early stage of recombinational repair of DNA. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Read-through transcription also exists between this gene and the downstream ring finger and FYVE-like domain containing 1 (RFFL) gene.

Submissions by phenotype

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthJul 10, 2023This variant inserts 5 nucleotides in exon 10 of the RAD51D gene, causing a frameshift in the last exon and addition of 31 new amino acids before introducing a stop codon. This results in a protein product that is 23 amino acids longer than the normal protein product. This variant is expected to disrupt the C-terminal end of the RAD51D protein, which encodes the ATPase domain (PMID: 14704354, 19327148, 21111057) and RAD51C interaction domain (PMID: 10749867, 14704354, 19327148). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has been identified in 8/251494 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsOct 05, 2017The c.955_959dupCAGAG variant, located in coding exon 10 of the RAD51D gene, results from a duplication of CAGAG at nucleotide position 955, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.A321Rfs*32). Frameshifts are typically deleterious in nature, however, this frameshift occurs at the 3' terminus of RAD51D, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and results in the elongation of the protein by 23 amino acids. The exact functional impact of these inserted amino acids is unknown at this time. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpOct 16, 2023This sequence change results in a frameshift in the RAD51D gene (p.Ala321Argfs*32). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 8 amino acid(s) of the RAD51D protein and extend the protein by 23 additional amino acid residues. This variant is present in population databases (rs771998974, gnomAD 0.03%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with RAD51D-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 472632). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. 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. -
not provided Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxMar 12, 2018This duplication of five nucleotides in RAD51D is denoted c.955_959dupCAGAG at the cDNA level and p.Ala321ArgfsX32 (A321RfsX32) at the protein level. The normal sequence, with the bases that are duplicated in brackets, is AGAG[dupCAGAG]TGCC. The duplication causes a frameshift, which changes an Alanine to an Arginine at codon 321 in the last exon of the gene, and results in an extension of the protein. The last 8 correct amino acids are replaced by 31 incorrect ones, disrupting a region that contains the RAD51C binding domain (Miller 2004). RAD51D c.955_959dupCAGAG has not, to our knowledge, been reported in the literature. This variant was observed at an allele frequency of 0.026% (8/30,782) in individuals of South Asian ancestry in large population cohorts (Lek 2016). Since the clinical significance of this protein extension is unclear, we consider RAD51D c.955_959dupCAGAG to be a variant of uncertain significance. -
