Variant summary: FANCC c.1661T>C (p.Leu554Pro) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 251192 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1661T>C has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Fanconi Anemia (e.g. Strathdee_1992, Dokal_1996, Gillio_1997). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. The variant has also been detected in at least one individual with bilateral breast cancer and a family history of the diseae (Thompson_2012). Several publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, reporting significantly reduced capacity for DNA repair and disruption of the protein's ability to bind FAA ( (e.g. Gavish_1993, Kupfer_1997, Donahue_2004). Two other clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar (evaluation after 2014) and cited the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

not provided Pathogenic:2Other:1
The FANCC c.1661C>T (p.Leu554Pro) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with breast cancer (PMIDs: 23028338 (2012), 33471991 (2021) see also LOVD (https://databases.lovd.nl/shared/)), as well as head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (PMID: 28678401 (2017)). Additionally, this variant is associated with autosomal recessive Fanconi Anemia (FA) (PMIDs: 1574115 (1992)). In the published literature, this variant has been reported in multiple individuals with FA (PMIDs: 9207444 (1997), 8128956 (1994), 1574115 (1992)), most notably occurring in trans with an additional pathogenic FANCC variant (322delG) in two FA siblings (PMID: 8703809 (1996)). Experimental studies using FA patient derived cells suggest this variant is damaging to protein function, resulting in overexpression and increased MMC hypersensitivity (PMID: 8499901 (1993), 8613549 (1996)) failure to bind and/or interact with multiple proteins within the Fanconi Anemia complex (PMID: 9398857 (1997), 9242535 (1997), 10383195 (1999), 12093742 (2002), 12649160 (2003), 24469828 (2014), 26466335 (2015)), decreased double strand break repair and cell survival (PMID: 15364573 (2004)), and improper localization (PMID: 10383195 (1999)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000031 (4/128998 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is damaging. Please note that these prediction tools are not fully validated, and therefore, should be viewed with caution. Due to the limited utility of current functional studies for heterozygous FANCC variants as well as unsupported FANCC heterozygote risk association with cancer, the experimental evidence mentioned above is viewed with caution at this time. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance for cancer and likely pathogenic for Fanconi Anemia. -

Identified in individuals with breast and other cancers (Thompson et al., 2012; Chandrasekharappa et al., 2017); Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect: decreased capacity to tolerate mitomycin C and the inability to bind to FANCA, FANCE, and cdc2 (Gavish et al., 1993; Youssoufian et al., 1996; Kupfer et al., 1997a; Kupfer et al., 1997b; Gordon and Buchwald 2000); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Also known as p.L553P; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 24469828, 28678401, 8703809, 8613549, 1574115, 12397061, 8499901, 9242535, 20301575, 26466335, 23028338, 9398857, 8128956, Gordon2000[Book]) -
Fanconi anemia Pathogenic:2
This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 554 of the FANCC protein (p.Leu554Pro). This variant is present in population databases (rs104886458, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Fanconi anemia (PMID: 8703809, 11050007). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 12043). 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 FANCC function (PMID: 8613549, 9242535, 9398857). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

FANCC-related disorder Pathogenic:1
The FANCC c.1661T>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Leu554Pro. This variant (originally identified as p.Leu553Pro) has been documented as being causative for Fanconi anemia (Strathdee et al 1992. PubMed ID: 157411) and may function in part by altering proper FANCC protein localization (Savoia et al. 1999. PubMed ID: 10383195). This variant is reported in 0.0031% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/9-97864005-A-G) and is interpreted as Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/12043/). This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
The p.L554P pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1661T>C), located in coding exon 14 of the FANCC gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 1661. The leucine at codon 554 is replaced by proline, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been reported in trans with other loss-of-function FANCC alterations in patients with Fanconi Anemia (Strathdee CA et al. Nature 1992 Apr;356:763-7; Verlander PC et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 1994 Apr;54:595-601; Ambry internal data). Multiple defects in cells from one of these patients, who harbored FANCC c.322delG on the other chromosome, were rescued upon complementation with wild type constructs, however complementation with constructs harboring FANCC p.L554P were not able to rescue these defects. These defects include cell cycle regulation, sensitivity to chemical clastogens, subcellular localization, and binding to FANCA, FANCE and cdc2 (Gavish H et al. Hum. Mol. Genet. 1993 Feb;2:123-6; Dokal I et al. Br. J. Haematol. 1996 Jun;93:813-6; Youssoufian H et al. J. Clin. Invest. 1996 Feb;97:957-62; Kupfer GM et al. Blood 1997 Aug;90:1047-54; Kupfer GM et al. Nat. Genet. 1997 Dec;17:487-90; Savoia A et al. Blood 1999 Jun;93:4025-6; Pace P et al. EMBO J. 2002 Jul;21:3414-23; Gordon SM et al. Blood 2003 Jul;102:136-41). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
