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.4249C>G (p.His1417Asp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0035 in 282888 control chromosomes, including 5 homozygotes (gnomAD). The variant occurs predominantly at a frequency of 0.0043 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 3 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency within Non-Finnish European control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 2 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in FANCA causing Fanconi Anemia (0.0022), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of Non-Finnish European origin. c.4249C>G has been reported in the literature in at least one homozygous individual affected with Fanconi Anemia (Levran_1997). This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Fanconi Anemia. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating the variant's effects on FANCA phosphorylation, interaction with FANCC, FANCF and FANCG and nuclear localization and FANCD2 monoubiquitination. These experiments showed the variant behaved similarly to wild-type (Adachi_2002). Nine ClinVar submitters have assessed the variant since 2014: one classified the variant as pathogenic, two as uncertain significance, two as likely benign, and four as benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases did not allow this variant to be ruled in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -
