Variants pathogenicity by type
Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the FANCA gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_000000135.4. Only rare variants are included in the table.
In the table, we include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, Mane Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equals 1. Click the count to view the source variants.
Warning: slight differences between displayed counts and the number of variants in ClinVar may occur, primarily due to (1) the application of a different transcript and/or consequence by our variant effect predictor or (2) differences in clinical significance: we classify Benign/Likely benign variants as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic variants as Likely pathogenic.

- Function
- FUNCTION: DNA repair protein that may operate in a postreplication repair or a cell cycle checkpoint function. May be involved in interstrand DNA cross-link repair and in the maintenance of normal chromosome stability.;
- Disease
- DISEASE: Fanconi anemia, complementation group A (FANCA) [MIM:227650]: A disorder affecting all bone marrow elements and resulting in anemia, leukopenia and thrombopenia. It is associated with cardiac, renal and limb malformations, dermal pigmentary changes, and a predisposition to the development of malignancies. At the cellular level it is associated with hypersensitivity to DNA-damaging agents, chromosomal instability (increased chromosome breakage) and defective DNA repair. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10094191, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10210316, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10521298, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10807541, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11091222, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17924555, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9371798, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9399890, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9929978}.
