Title Germline mutations in RAD51D confer susceptibility to ovarian cancer.
URL
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.

Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Use simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
  • Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
  • Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.

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).
