I don't know

Three unrelated patients have been identified to date (PMIDs: 26681308; 26253028; 30907510) with de novo heterozygous variants (c.877G>A; c.391A>C; c.725A>G) in the RAD51 gene with a dominant negative effect. The phenotype was consistent with Fanconi anemia involving chromosomal instability but was atypical in that no patients displayed any features of bone marrow failure or malignancies.

Therefore, maintaining Amber rating on this panel as it is unclear whether this atypical form of FA is associated with cancer.

Comment on list classification: Demoted to amber after discussion with Clare Turnbull - there does not seem to be enough evidence for this geen currently and the mode of inheritance is unclear.
