The NM_000135.4(FANCA):c.2398G>T (p.Glu800*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant is predicted to lead to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). The gene FANCA is a tumor suppressor gene (CancerMine: 2 TSG, 4 oncogene citations). The gene FANCA is a known oncogene (CancerMine: 2 TSG, 4 oncogene citations). The variant is absent from the gnomAD population database at sites with sufficient sequencing coverage. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic (★★).

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]

Classification according to ACGS-UK Somatic Oncogenicity v2025

Classification was made for transcript:

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 12 points.

Apply	Criterion Code & Title / Strength	Strength	Rationale / Clinical Context
	O1Established oncogenic variant		TSG gene: ClinVar germline P/LP ★★+ — Moderate (O1); O1 contributing sources (2.0 pts): ClinVar germline P/LP in TSG (★★)
	O2Null variant in tumour suppressor gene		Frameshift/stop-gained, NMD predicted, LoF oncogenic mechanism — O2 very strong (+8); Use caution in the presence of multiple transcripts; Gene confirmed as TSG in CancerMine (TSG: 2 citations, oncogene: 4 citations, driver: 0 citations).; Frameshift/stop-gained. NMD predicted: true. LoF mechanism: true. Downstream pathogenic count: 0.
	O3Absent or very rare in population		Absent or extremely rare in gnomAD (AC ≤ 2) — O3 moderate; GnomAD: AF = absent, AC = 0 — absent/extremely rare (O3 moderate [+2])
