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]

Variant summary: FANCA c.2T>A (p.Met1Lys) alters the initiation codon and is predicted to result either in absence of the protein or truncation of the encoded protein due to translation initiation at a downstream codon. The next downstream Met is p.Met116. A different start-lost variant has been classified as Pathogenic by Labcorp (p.Met1Thr (c.2T>C)). Two of two in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8.3e-06 in 120628 control chromosomes. c.2T>A has been reported in the homozygous and compound heterozygous state in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Fanconi Anemia (example, DeRocco_2014, Joshi_2023, Monies_2019). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 24584348, 36894310, 31130284). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 556239). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
