RAD51 recombinase (RAD51) is a gene that encodes a protein that functions in homologous recombination and DNA repair. Missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, and frameshift insertions are observed in cancers such as endometrial cancer, intestinal cancer, and cancers of the urinary tract.

RAD51 is altered in 0.65% of all cancers with lung adenocarcinoma, glioblastoma, conventional glioblastoma multiforme, colon adenocarcinoma, and breast invasive ductal carcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

RAD51 GENIE Cases - Top Diseases

The most common alterations in RAD51 are RAD51 Mutation (0.29%), RAD51 Loss (0.16%), RAD51 Amplification (0.03%), RAD51 Nonsense (0.03%), and RAD51 A224G (0.09%) [3].
