missense

The RAD50 gene encodes a protein that works as part of the MRN complex, which detects and repairs double-strand breaks in DNA. This protein is essential for cell growth and viability and helps preserve genome stability through DNA repair, cell cycle checkpoint activation, telomere maintenance, and meiotic recombination. Inherited mutations in RAD50 cause Nijmegen breakage syndrome-like disorder, characterized by progressive microcephaly, short stature, and an increased risk of cancer. RAD50 functions as a tumor suppressor, and loss-of-function mutations in it are found in several human cancers.

This variant

RAD50 encodes an MRN-complex protein essential for DNA double-strand-break repair, and its loss of function causes Nijmegen breakage syndrome-like disorder and contributes to cancer as a tumor suppressor. For p.Leu370Phe, a missense change absent from ~2 million population alleles with benign-leaning in silico predictions but no clinical or functional data, the VUS classification means neither a damaging nor a benign role in RAD50-associated disease is established.

No RAD50 ClinGen CSPEC/VCEP exists, so generic ACMG/AMP 2015 rules apply: PM2 (moderate) and BP4 (supporting) conflict in direction and meet no combination threshold, yielding VUS.
Classification rationale
PM2 BP4 VUS
RAD50 c.1110A>C missense

PM2 (Moderate): absent from gnomAD v2.1, v4.1, and gnomAD-Canada — AF = 0 across ~2 million alleles, below the <0.1% cutoff. BP4 (Supporting): REVEL 0.131, BayesDel -0.441836, and SpliceAI max delta 0.01 are concordant for no impact. Final: Variant of Uncertain Significance — the conflicting 1 moderate (PM2) + 1 supporting (BP4) combination meets no Pathogenic, Likely Pathogenic, Benign, or Likely Benign threshold under generic ACMG/AMP 2015.

LYFE Sciences is an AI system, and it can make mistakes. Criteria may be applied incorrectly, sources may be misread, and a confident-looking classification can still be wrong. Double-check every criterion and its underlying evidence before relying on any call.

Pathogenic
PS1 Not assessed: no established pathogenic record of p.Leu370Phe exists in ClinVar or the literature, so PS1 cannot be confirmed or ruled out.
PS2 Not assessed: no maternity/paternity-confirmed de novo occurrence or family-history data exist for this variant.
PS3 Not assessed: no variant-specific functional study was available; in silico predictions cannot substitute for a functional assay.
PS4 Not assessed: no case-control or case-series data exist showing increased prevalence of this variant in affected individuals.
PM1 Not assessed: no cancer-hotspot hit for RAD50 L370, and no curated domain annotation covers residue 370.
PM3 Not assessed: no proband or phase data exist to establish the variant in trans with a pathogenic RAD50 allele.
PM5 Not assessed: no different missense change at residue 370 has an established pathogenic classification.
PM6 Not assessed: no assumed-de novo evidence exists; no proband or parental-testing data are available.
PP1 Not assessed: no co-segregation data in affected family members exist for this variant.
PP2 Not assessed: no missense constraint data and no evidence that missense variants are a common RAD50 disease mechanism.
PP3 Not met: all computational evidence is concordant for no effect — SpliceAI max delta 0.01, REVEL 0.131, BayesDel -0.441836.
PP4 Not assessed: no proband phenotype or family-history data exist to evaluate phenotype specificity.
Benign
BA1 Not met: allele frequency is 0% across gnomAD v2.1, v4.1, and gnomAD-Canada, far below the >1% BA1 cutoff.
BS1 Not met: allele frequency is 0%, far below the >0.3% BS1 cutoff for this rare recessive disorder.
BS2 Not met: no healthy adult homozygote or carrier is documented — 0 alleles in all population datasets.
BS3 Not assessed: no variant-specific functional study was available to show absence of a damaging effect.
BS4 Not assessed: no non-segregation observations exist for this variant.
BP1 Not assessed: no mutation-spectrum data demonstrate that RAD50 disease is caused primarily by truncating variants.
BP2 Not assessed: no phase or proband data exist to evaluate trans/cis configuration with a pathogenic allele.
BP5 Not assessed: no proband-level data exist to confirm or exclude an alternative molecular diagnosis.
