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]

Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.2941T>C (p.C981R) alteration is located in exon 30 (coding exon 30) of the FANCA gene. This alteration results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 2941, causing the cysteine (C) at amino acid position 981 to be replaced by an arginine (R). Based on data from the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP), the c.2941T>C alteration was not observed among 6,498 individuals tested (0.0%). This variant was previously reported in the Database of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (dbSNP) as rs191943709. Based on data from the 1000 Genomes Project, the C allele has an overall frequency of approximately 0.05% (1/2098) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.54% (1/184) Southern Han Chinese alleles. The C981 amino acid position is completely conserved in available vertebrate species. This alteration is predicted to be probably damaging and deleterious by PolyPhen and SIFT in silico analyses, respectively. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as likely pathogenic. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 981 of the FANCA protein (p.Cys981Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs191943709, gnomAD 0.04%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FANCA-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 224986). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt FANCA protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. 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. -
