TypeGene ModificationChromosome rearrangementProtein expressionProtein Function
tumoral     --over gain of function
in breast cancer (in progression)
constitutional     --low  
results in a dramatic decrease in mtDNA copy number as well as the complete suppression of a characteristic oxidative stress-induced copy number increase
tumoral germinal mutation     loss of function
in patients with primary ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancers
tumoral germinal mutation      
in breast and/or ovarian cancer families
tumoral germinal mutation      
germinal deleterious variants in the RAD51 paralogs to breast and ovarian cancers
Susceptibility
  • to breast and ovarian cancer
  • Variant & Polymorphism other
  • six monoallelic pathogenic mutations in RAD51C confer an increased risk for breast and ovarian cancer
  • relative risk of ovarian cancer for RAD51C mutation carriers was augmented
  • Candidate gene
