Genes affected
FANCA (HGNC:3582): (FA complementation group A) 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 A. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. Mutations in this gene are the most common cause of Fanconi anemia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant is a single nucleotide substitution at position 2738 of the FANCA gene, resulting in the replacement of histidine with proline at position 913 of the FANCA protein (p.His913Pro). This specific variant has been reported in patients with Fanconi anemia (FA) (PMID:29098742, 29269525). It is listed in population databases (rs1302083447, gnomAD frequency:0.007%) and in the ClinVar database (VCV000555969.19).n silico prediction algorithms suggest that this missense change may affect the function or structure of the protein, and these predictions have been experimentally confirmed.Based on this evidence, the variant is classified as pathogenic.

This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 913 of the FANCA protein (p.His913Pro). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with Fanconi anemia (PMID: 29098742, 29269525). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 555969). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt FANCA protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects FANCA function (PMID: 29269525). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

DNA sequence analysis of the FANCA gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.2621G>C in exon 28, which results in an amino acid change, p.Arg874Thr. The p.Arg874Thr change affects a highly conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the FANCA protein that is not known to be functional. The p.Arg874Thr substitution appears to be deleterious using several in-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, CADD, REVEL, in silico splice prediction programs). This sequence change is absent from large population databases such as ExAC and gnomAD. The p.Arg874Thr amino acid change occurs in a region of the FANCA gene where other missense sequence changes have been described in patients with FANCA-related disorders (PMIDs: 15643609, 24116929). This sequence change was identified with another likely pathogenic FANCA variant in a patient.
