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:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This is a single nucleotide variant located two bases upstream of exon 13 of the FANCA gene. This alteration is predicted to cause aberrant mRNA splicing, resulting in a non-functional protein (PMID:16199547). Loss-of-function variants in the FANCA gene are classified as pathogenic (PMID:19367192). This specific variant is listed in population databases (rs773906241, gnomAD frequency:0.01%) and is also recorded in the ClinVar database (VCV000439688.30). In conclusion, based on the above evidence, this variant is classified as pathogenic.

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 13 of the FANCA 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 FANCA are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19367192). This variant is present in population databases (rs773906241, gnomAD 0.01%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with Fanconi anemia (PMID: 29098742; internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 439688). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
