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 CapistranoSep 15, 2023In the published literature, this variant has been reported in individuals with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 29484706 (2018), 24139550 (2013), 23117857 (2012), 21537932 (2011)). A published functional study reported that this variant does not significantly disrupt homology direct repair activity (PMID: 37253112 (2023)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000035 (4/113752 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 predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxMay 30, 2023Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 22451500, 25470109, 23117857, 21537932, 24139550, 34923718, 29484706) -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1Benign:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsSep 08, 2023The p.E36K variant (also known as c.106G>A), located in coding exon 1 of the RAD51C gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 106. The glutamic acid at codon 36 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration was originally identified in a Spanish female diagnosed with breast cancer at age 38 who had two relatives with breast cancer (Romero A et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2011 Oct;129(3):939-46). This cohort was later included with other Spanish breast and/or ovarian cancer families, and p.E36K was ultimately reported in 1/785 affected families (Osorio A et al. Hum. Mol. Genet. 2012 Jul;21(13):2889-98). This variant was also reported in 2/142 unrelated patients with breast and/or ovarian cancer who had either early onset cancer or a family history of breast/ovarian cancer (Goldmar L et al. BMC Cancer. 2013;13:484), and also reported in 1/34 Italian breast cancer patients (Guacci A et al. J Clin Lab Anal, 2018 Jul;32:e22418). In a homology-directed DNA repair (HDR) assay, this alteration showed a functionally normal read-out. (Hu C et al. Cancer Res, 2023 Aug;83:2557-2571). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Fanconi anemia complementation group O Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpOct 16, 2023This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 36 of the RAD51C protein (p.Glu36Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs773998134, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer and/or colorectal cancer (PMID: 34923718). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 216803). 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. 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. -
