The recorded framework is ClinGen RAD51C VCEP v1.0.0. The criteria and strengths shown below come from the saved assessment; this page does not recalculate the classification.
The applied criteria and their strengths are shown as assessed under the stated framework.
NM_058216.3:c.431T>C is at extremely low frequency in population databases. gnomAD v2.1: AF=0.00566% (16/282,878 alleles, 0 homozygotes). gnomAD v4.1: AF=0.01419% (229/1,614,096 alleles, 0 homozygotes). Both overall frequencies are well below the 0.1% threshold. No homozygotes observed. Note: gnomAD v4.1 grpmax FAF=0.178% and Middle Eastern subpopulation AF=0.279%, which slightly moderates the strength but remains below the BS1 threshold of 0.3%.
Myriad Genetics, Inc. (SCV004019909) classified this variant as Likely benign with criteria provided. This represents a reputable clinical laboratory asserting a benign interpretation. While only a single submitter, it meets BP6 at supporting level.
ClinGen Hereditary Breast, Ovarian and Pancreatic Cancer Expert Panel Specifications to the ACMG/AMP Variant Interpretation Guidelines for RAD51C Version 1.0.0 v1.0.0 lacked a usable explicit final combination framework, so generic ACMG/AMP 2015 final-combination rules were applied as fallback; applied criteria: PM2 supporting, BP6 supporting; combination = 1 supporting + 1 supporting benign, which maps to VUS.

NM_058216.3:c.431T>C (p.Ile144Thr) in RAD51C is a rare missense variant with extremely low population frequency (gnomAD v2.1 AF=0.0057%, v4.1 AF=0.014%). The ClinGen Hereditary Breast, Ovarian and Pancreatic Cancer Expert Panel has published RAD51C specifications (version 1.0.0) but no per-criterion rules were available for direct application; generic ACMG/AMP 2015 criteria were used as fallback.
The variant is absent or at extremely low frequency in population databases, meeting PM2 at supporting strength (gnomAD v4.1 overall AF=0.014%; 0 homozygotes). gnomAD v4.1 Middle Eastern subpopulation AF=0.279% is noted but remains below the BS1 threshold of 0.3%.
Myriad Genetics classified this variant as Likely benign (SCV004019909, criteria provided), meeting BP6 at supporting strength. However, the cited reference (PMID:25085752) is a BRCA1/BRCA2 reclassification algorithm and does not provide RAD51C-specific evidence.
In silico predictions are inconclusive: REVEL 0.314, BayesDel 0.041, SpliceAI delta 0.01, with Polyphen-2/SIFT suggesting possible damage but SNPs&GO predicting neutrality (PMID:23117857). Neither PP3 nor BP4 is met.
The variant has been observed in one Iraqi Jewish breast cancer proband (PMID:23117857) and one Danish HBOC family (PMID:26740214) but at insufficient frequency for PS4. No functional studies (PS3/BS3), segregation data (PP1/BS4), or de novo observations (PS2/PM6) are available.
The variant is not located in a statistically significant hotspot (PM1 not met), no alternative nucleotide changes at the same residue are established as pathogenic (PM5 not applicable), and RAD51C is not a gene with a low rate of benign missense variation (PP2 not met).
Overall classification: Uncertain significance. One supporting pathogenic criterion (PM2) is balanced by one supporting benign criterion (BP6), with all other criteria either not met or not applicable. This results in indeterminate classification under ACMG/AMP 2015 combination rules.
