RCV000558858 | SCV000651721 | uncertain significance | Breast-ovarian cancer, familial, susceptibility to, 4 | 2024-04-29 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change affects the initiator methionine of the RAD51D mRNA. The next in-frame methionine is located at codon 16. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of the initiator codon has been observed in individual(s) with breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 24130102). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 419798). Studies have shown that disruption of the initiator codon does not significantly alter or has an unclear effect on RAD51D gene expression (PMID: 24130102). 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. |

RCV000775946 | SCV000910450 | likely pathogenic | Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome | 2022-11-01 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant results in the loss of the translation start codon (methionine at codon 1) of the RAD51D gene. Although functional studies have not been reported, this variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. It has been shown that the highly conserved N-terminus (amino acids 1-83) of the RAD51D protein encodes the single-stranded DNA binding domain and that the 13-residue N-terminal tail (amino acids 1-13) contributes to proper protein folding via hydrophobic interactions between side chains of the N-terminal tail and alpha helices of the single-stranded DNA binding domain (PMID: 21111057). These findings suggest that the production of a full-length protein from p.Met1 is important for RAD51 function. While an in-frame methionine occurs at codon 16, it is not known if it can function as an alternative translation initiation site and produce a functional RAD51D protein. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 24130102). A different nucleotide substitution (c.1A>G) with similar protein impact has also been reported in an individual affected with ovarian cancer (PMID: 26681312). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. |

RCV000781803 | SCV000920134 | uncertain significance | not specified | 2024-08-26 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Variant summary: RAD51D c.1A>T (p.Met1Leu) alters the initiation codon and is predicted to result either in absence of the protein or truncation of the encoded protein due to translation initiation at a downstream codon. The next downstream in-frame initiation codon is at Met 16. Two of four in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. Consensus agreement among computation tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.9e-06 in 1611004 control chromosomes (gnomAD database v4). c.1A>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (Gutierrez-Enriquez_2014, Cavaille_2021). These data do not allow any conclusion about variant significance. One publication reports experimental evidence evaluating transcript expression of the mutant allele, which showed no significant difference from Wildtype (Gutierrez-Enriquez_2014), however the assay is not quantitative and does not allow convincing conclusions about variant significance. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 24130102, 26057125, 33047316). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 419798). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. |
Ambry Genetics | RCV000775946 | SCV002721815 | pathogenic | Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome | 2022-08-14 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The p.M1? pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1A>T) is located in coding exon 1 of the RAD51D gene and results from an A to T substitution at nucleotide position 1. This alters the methionine residue at the initiation codon (ATG). This alteration was identified in a female patient with breast cancer at 51 and ovarian cancer at 64 (Gutiérrez-Enríquez S et al. Int J Cancer, 2014 May;134:2088-97) and in a cohort of 4439 women with ovarian cancer undergoing multigene panel testing at one laboratory (Carter NJ et al. Gynecol Oncol, 2018 12;151:481-488). A second in-frame methionine exists in RAD51D at amino acid position 16. However, this is predicted to be a relatively weak translation initiation site, and based on internal structural analysis, the first 15 amino acids are predicted to play an important role in protein function (Kim YM et al. Int J Biochem Cell Biol, 2011 Mar;43:416-22). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. |
