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.

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces histidine with glutamine at codon 207 of the RAD51C protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in 2 individuals affected with breast or ovarian cancer (PMID: 29522266) and in a breast cancer case-control meta-analysis in 3/60463 cases and 1/53461 unaffected individuals (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID RAD51C_000154). This variant has been identified in 3/251246 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. -

The p.H207Q variant (also known as c.621T>A), located in coding exon 4 of the RAD51C gene, results from a T to A substitution at nucleotide position 621. The histidine at codon 207 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant was reported in 3/60466 breast cancer cases and in 1/53461 controls (Dorling et al. N Engl J Med. 2021 02;384:428-439). This alteration was detected in 2/5589 German BRCA1/2-negative probands with breast cancer. (Hauke J et al. Cancer Med, 2018 04;7:1349-1358). This alteration demonstrated retained homology-directed repair (HDR) activity in one functional study (Hu C et al. Cancer Res, 2023 May;:). 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. -

This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 207 of the RAD51C protein (p.His207Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs786201848, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 29522266). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 184991). 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%. 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. -
