Genes affected
FANCM (HGNC:23168): (FA complementation group M) The Fanconi anemia complementation group (FANC) currently includes FANCA, FANCB, FANCC, FANCD1 (also called BRCA2), FANCD2, FANCE, FANCF, FANCG, FANCI, FANCJ (also called BRIP1), FANCL, FANCM and FANCN (also called PALB2). The previously defined group FANCH is the same as FANCA. Fanconi anemia is a genetically heterogeneous recessive disorder characterized by cytogenetic instability, hypersensitivity to DNA crosslinking agents, increased chromosomal breakage, and defective DNA repair. The members of the Fanconi anemia complementation group do not share sequence similarity; they are related by their assembly into a common nuclear protein complex. This gene encodes the protein for complementation group M. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015]

BS2, BP4_Moderate c.171G>C, located in exon 1 of the FANCM gene, is predicted to result in the substitution of leucine by phenylalanine at codon 57, p.(Leu57Phe). This variant is found in 452/268342 alleles at a frequency of 0.1% in the gnomAD v2.1.1 database, non-cancer dataset. This variant has been observed in homozygous state in multiple healthy individuals in the gnomAD v4 database (BS2). The SpliceAI algorithm predicts no significant impact on splicing. The REVEL meta-predictor score for this variant (0.064) suggests that it does not affect the protein function according to Pejaver 2022 thresholds (PMID: 36413997) (BP4_Moderate). To our knowledge, neither relevant clinical data nor well-established functional studies have been reported for this variant. It has been reported in oncologic and hemato-oncologic patients (PMID:38927643, 29217778,28717660, 26740942). This variant has been reported in the ClinVar database (2x benign, 6x likely benign, 1x uncertain significance) and in LOVD (1x likely benign, 2x uncertain significance). Based on currently available information, the variant c.171G>C should be considered a likely benign variant, according to ACMG/AMP classification guidelines.

FANCM NM_020937 exon 1 p.Leu57Phe (c.171G>C): This variant has not been reported in the literature but is present in 0.3% (354/126714) of European alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/rs142007602). Evolutionary conservation and computational predictive tools for this variant are unclear. In summary, data on this variant is insufficient for disease classification. Therefore, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain.
