2023年7月17日 · If you both have a mutation in the RAD51C gene, which is rare, there’s a chance your child could be born with a serious condition called Fanconi Anemia (FA). FA is a genetic disorder that can cause birth defects, bone marrow failure, and a risk of cancer.

The RAD51C gene is one of genes 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.

2024年9月22日 · Women with a RAD51C mutation have about a 10-15 percent lifetime risk for ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer (these three cancers and their risks are related and are often referred to together as ovarian cancer).

What is my cancer risk if I have a RAD51C mutation? A RAD51C mutation increases your risk for ovarian cancer. A RAD51C mutation may also increase your risk for breast cancer, but more research is needed for us to better understand this risk.

RAD51 is an ATPase that forms a nucleoprotein filament on single-stranded DNA. RAD51 has the function of finding and invading homologous DNA sequences to enable accurate and timely DNA repair. Its paralogs, which arose from ancient gene duplications of RAD51, have evolved to regulate and promote RAD51 function.

2024年9月1日 · Risk Management for People with Inherited RAD51C Mutations. People with RAD51C mutations have options for managing their increased cancer risk. Experts at the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) created guidelines for people with a RAD51C mutation to manage their cancer risk.

2024年12月25日 · RAD51C (RAD51 Paralog C) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with RAD51C include Breast-Ovarian Cancer, Familial 3 and Fanconi Anemia, Complementation Group O. Among its related pathways are Resolution of D-loop Structures through Synthesis-Dependent Strand Annealing (SDSA) and Homologous DNA Pairing and Strand Exchange.

2023年7月24日 · Here we report the RAD51C-XRCC3 (CX3) X-ray co-crystal structure with bound ATP analog and define separable RAD51C replication stability roles informed by its three-dimensional structure,...

RAD51C and RAD51D are moderate ovarian cancer susceptibility genes. RAD51C mutation is associated with breast and ovarian cancer. The effect of common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in non-coding regions of RAD51C in modulating the risk of breast cancer was investigated. Mutations in RAD51C are associated with drug resistance in breast ...

Here, we have reviewed the landscape of RAD51C and RAD51D germline variants in cancer reported in the literature during the last decade, integrating this list with variants identified by in-house patient screening.
