I worked on this amazing project during my Master’s, and reaching this point wouldn’t have been possible without @daniela_oaks. Thank you, Dani, for everything you’ve done and continue to do! Very honoured and proud to come from your lab and keep collaborating 💜 7/8.

This work will transform the diagnosis and clinical management of breast and ovarian cancer patients found to carry VUS in this gene. Many thanks to everyone involved! 💫 6/8.

We mapped our data onto protein structure of RAD51C in the context of paralogy complexes and we identified previously uncharacterised residues critical for function, which will lead to further molecular insights into RAD51C activity. 5/8.

We aimed to explore RAD51C’s biology using data from the UK Biobank % a large ovarian cancer group. We found that LoF variants in RAD51C are linked to hormone-driven cancers & we also identified specific missense variants associated with ovarian cancer risk. 4/8.

We not only discovered deleterious variants that show distinct and predictable biological patterns, but we also identified enriched variants with cellular behaviours that suggest positive selection and hyper-complementation. 3/8.

In this study, we functionally evaluated 9,188 RAD51C variants and classified over 3,000 of them as disruptive with accuracy of >99.9% based on truth sets. We observed specific missense variants exhibit distinct depletion kinetics, potentially representing hypomorphic alleles.2/8.
