Abstract Text | Recently, RAD51C mutations were identified in families with breast and ovarian cancer. This observation prompted us to investigate the role of RAD51D in cancer susceptibility. We identified eight inactivating RAD51D mutations in unrelated individuals from 911 breast-ovarian cancer families compared with one inactivating mutation identified in 1,060 controls (P = 0.01). The association found here was principally with ovarian cancer, with three mutations identified in the 59 pedigrees with three or more individuals with ovarian cancer (P = 0.0005). The relative risk of ovarian cancer for RAD51D mutation carriers was estimated to be 6.30 (95% CI 2.86-13.85, P = 4.8 × 10(-6)). By contrast, we estimated the relative risk of breast cancer to be 1.32 (95% CI 0.59-2.96, P = 0.50). These data indicate that RAD51D mutation testing may have clinical utility in individuals with ovarian cancer and their families. Moreover, we show that cells deficient in RAD51D are sensitive to treatment with a PARP inhibitor, suggesting a possible therapeutic approach for cancers arising in RAD51D mutation carriers. |

RAD51D | NCBI | BROVCA4|R51H3|RAD51L3|TRAD | RAD51D, RAD51 paralog D, functions in homologous recombination in DNA repair and plays a role in telomere maintenance (PMID: 21821141, PMID: 23108668). Mutations in RAD51D are associated with increased susceptibility to ovarian cancer (PMID: 23372765, PMID: 21822267). | Unknown |

RAD51D | C9S | missense | unknown | RAD51D C9S lies within the region of the Rad51d protein that preferentially binds ssDNA (UniProt.org). C9S has been identified in the scientific literature (PMID: 22986143, PMID: 21822267, PMID: 25340522), but has not been biochemically characterized and therefore, its effect on Rad51d protein function is unknown (PubMed, Dec 2024). |
