Article Synopsis
- RAD51C plays a key role in repairing DNA double-strand breaks through homologous recombination, making it significant for cancer research.
- About 1.3% of families with breast cancer (BC) and/or ovarian cancer (OC) not linked to BRCA1/2 have been found to carry mutations in RAD51C.
- There's ongoing debate on whether these mutations also elevate the risk for breast cancer in addition to ovarian cancer, with some studies suggesting a high relative risk for ovarian cancer.
