Genes affected
FANCE (HGNC:3586): (FA complementation group E) 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 E. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Fanconi anemia complementation group E Pathogenic:4
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 11, 2024This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 371 of the FANCE protein (p.Arg371Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs775076977, gnomAD 0.08%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with Fanconi anemia (PMID: 17924555, 22778927; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 566449). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects FANCE function (PMID: 17308347). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaMay 26, 2023The FANCE c.1111C>T (p.Arg371Trp) missense variant has been reported in a homozygous state in at least four individuals with Fanconi anemia (PMIDs: 17924555; 36463940; 22778927). This variant is reported in the Genome Aggregation Database in nine alleles at a frequency of 0.000868 in the Ashkenazi Jewish population (version 2.1.1). Data from the FANCE crystal structure suggest p.Arg371Trp may destabilize ternary protein conformation and experiments using a yeast two hybrid system indicate the variant disrupts the interaction between FANCE and FANC2 within the FA complex (PMID: 17308347). Based on the available evidence, the c.1111C>T (p.Arg371Trp) variant is classified as likely pathogenic for Fanconi anemia. -

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxOct 05, 2023Reported in individuals with breast and/or ovarian cancer and an individual with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (Maxwell et al., 2016; Chandrasekharappa et al., 2017; Jin et al., 2023); Published functional studies demonstrate a loss of interaction with FANCD2 in yeast (Nookala et al., 2007); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 28678401, 33942288, 22778927, 19464302, 17924555, 17308347, 27153395, 36655350, 36845387, 32487094) -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGenetic Services Laboratory, University of ChicagoMay 26, 2021DNA sequence analysis of the FANCE gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.1111C>T, in exon 5 that results in an amino acid change, p.Arg371Trp. This sequence change has been described in gnomAD with a frequency of 0.087% in the Ashkenazi Jewish sub-population (dbSNP rs775076977). The p.Arg371Trp change affects a moderately conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the FANCE protein that is known to be functional. In-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL) provide contradictory results for the p.Arg371Trp substitution. This sequence change has been reported in the homozygous state in several individuals with Fanconi anemia (PMID: 17924555, 22778927), as well as an individual affected with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (PMID: 28678401). Functional studies have demonstrated that this missense change in disrupts FANCE–FANCD2 interaction in yeast (PMID: 17308347). -
FANCE-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesAug 05, 2024The FANCE c.1111C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg371Trp. This variant, in the homozygous state or along with a second variant in FANCE, has been reported in several patients with Fanconi anemia (Ameziane et al. 2008. PubMed ID: 17924555; Gille et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22778927, Nie et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32487094; https://www2.rockefeller.edu/fanconi/genes/jumpe). This variant was also reported as likely pathogenic in a fetus with absence of radius or tibiofibular (Supplementary info 2 and Table S2, Zhang et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 33942288). Functional studies suggest that this variant is expected to alter protein structure and function (Nookala et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17308347). This variant was also reported as a germline variant in one patient with head and neck carcinoma before age 50 (Table S3, Chandrasekharappa et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28678401). This variant is reported in 0.087% of alleles in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
Fanconi anemia Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpAug 09, 2024Variant summary: FANCE c.1111C>T (p.Arg371Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Fanconi Anaemia group E protein, C-terminal (IPR021025) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of four in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Three predict the variant weakens a 5' donor site. One predict the variant no significant impact on splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00012 in 251428 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in FANCE causing Fanconi Anemia (0.00012 vs 0.00048), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1111C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Fanconi Anemia (Ameziane_2008, Gille_2012). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results loss of interaction with FANCD2 in yeast (Nookala_2007). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 17924555, 17308347, 22778927). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 566449). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
