Genes affected

FANCC (HGNC:3584): (FA complementation group C) 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 C. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

FANCC links:

AOPEP (HGNC:1361): (aminopeptidase O (putative)) This gene encodes a member of the M1 zinc aminopeptidase family. The encoded protein is a zinc-dependent metallopeptidase that catalyzes the removal of an amino acid from the amino terminus of a protein or peptide. This protein may play a role in the generation of angiotensin IV. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]

Variant summary: FANCC c.843+1G>A is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Four predict the variant abolishes a 5' splicing donor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 251408 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The variant, c.843+1G>A, has been reported in heterozygous state in individuals affected with breast cancer (e.g. Yi_2019, Lerner-Ellis_2021), but it was also found in healthy controls (Dorling_2021). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Four other submitters have provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant in ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, and classified the variant as pathogenic (n=1) / likely pathogenic (n=3). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 8 of the FANCC gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in FANCC are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17924555). This variant is present in population databases (rs587779909, gnomAD 0.003%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 30630526, 32885271). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 127547). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The FANCC c.843+1G>A variant was not identified in the literature. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs587779909) as "With Likely pathogenic allele", in ClinVar (classified as likely pathogenic by Invitae and Counsyl), and in LOVD 3.0 (2x). The variant was identified in control databases in 3 of 277168 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00001 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: Latino in 1 of 34414 chromosomes (freq: 0.00003), European in 2 of 126684 chromosomes (freq: 0.00002), while the variant was not observed in the African, Other, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, Finnish or South Asian populations. The c.843+1G>A variant is predicted to cause abnormal splicing because the nucleotide substitution occurs in the invariant region of the splice consensus sequence. In addition, 4 of 4 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing relative to the normal allele. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more pathogenic role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.843+1G>A intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 7 of the FANCC gene. This alteration was identified as a germline finding in 1/66 Chinese triple negative breast cancer patients who underwent tumor and germline next generation sequencing using a 43-gene panel (Yi D et al. Hum. Genomics, 2019 01;13:4). Another study detected this alteration in 0/3030 pancreatic cancer cases and 2/123136 population controls (Hu C et al. JAMA, 2018 06;319:2401-2409). In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site. RNA studies have demonstrated that a different alteration impacting the same splice donor site, c.843+5G>A, results in abnormal splicing in the set of samples tested (Ambry internal data). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is classified as a disease-causing mutation. -
