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.

RAD51C (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 17-58692790-TAACGA-CTAAG is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-58692790-TAACGA-CTAAG is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 241766.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Donor and acceptor splice site variants typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in RAD51C are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20400964, 21990120, 24800917). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with RAD51C-related disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 241766). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change deletes 6 nucleotides and inserts 5 nucleotides (c.145+2_145+7delinsCTAAG) in intron 1 of RAD51C. It affects a donor splice site as well as highly conserved nucleotides near the donor splice site. It is expected to disrupt mRNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. -

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. -
