Genes affected

FANCM (HGNC:23168): (FA complementation group M) 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 M. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015]

Collection Method:clinical testing

The FANCM c.5569G>A (p.Val1857Met) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with a personal and/or family history of breast cancer (PMID: 19737859 (2009), 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (https://databases.lovd.nl/shared/variants/FANCM), 35802266 (2023), 37656691 (2023)). It has also been reported in an individual suspected with hereditary cancer syndrome (PMID: 34326862 (2021)), and in an individual with cervical cancer and papillary urothelial carcinoma (PMID: 34628056 (2021)). Additionally, this variant has been reported in unaffected individuals (PMID: 19737859 (2009), 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (https://databases.lovd.nl/shared/variants/FANCM)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00068 (88/129164 chromosomes in European (Non-Finnish) subpopulation (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is higher than would generally be expected for pathogenic variants in this gene. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is benign or damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1857 of the FANCM protein (p.Val1857Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs144008013, gnomAD 0.07%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 19737859). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 408221). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Review Status:no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method:clinical testing

The FANCM c.5569G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Val1857Met. This variant was reported in the heterozygous state in one individual with breast cancer, however it was not classified as a high-risk breast cancer risk allele (García et al. 2009. PubMed ID: 19737859). It is unclear whether this variant may be a primary cause of Fanconi anemia, however it is reported in 0.068% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent, including one homozygous individual, in gnomAD which may be too high to be causative. This variant is interpreted as variant of uncertain significance in the ClinVar database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/408221/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
