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]

Fanconi anemia complementation group A Pathogenic:7
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaApr 28, 2017The FANCA c.65G>A (p.Trp22Ter) variant is a stop-gained variant that is predicted to result in premature termination of the protein. The p.Trp22Ter variant has been reported in at least three studies in which it is found in a total of five individuals with Fanconi anemia, including in two in a compound heterozygous state with a frameshift variant and in three in a heterozygous state without a second identified variant (Levran et al. 1997; Castella et al. 2011; De Rocco et al. 2014). The p.Trp22Ter variant was absent from four controls and is reported at a frequency of 0.00071 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Exome Aggregation Consortium but this is based on two alleles only in a region of poor sequence coverage. Based on the evidence and the potential impact of stop-gained variants, the p.Trp22Ter variant is classified as likely pathogenic for Fanconi anemia. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -

Sources cited for classification include the following: PMID 15643609, 19367192 and 29098742. Classification of NM_000135.2(FANCA):c.65G>A(W22*) is based on the following criteria: The variant causes a premature termination codon that is expected to be targeted by nonsense-mediated mRNA decay and is reported in individuals with the relevant phenotype. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingQuest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan CapistranoJan 25, 2022This nonsense variant causes the premature termination of FANCA protein synthesis. The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0017 (6/3470 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is uninformative in assessment of its pathogenicity. In the published literature, the variant has been reported in individuals with Fanconi anemia, complementation group A, and is considered an Ashkenazi Jewish founder mutation (PMIDs: 29098742 (2018), 24584348 (2014), 21273304 (2011), 19367192 (2009), 15643609 (2005), 9371798 (1997)). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGenetic Services Laboratory, University of ChicagoJul 14, 2020DNA sequence analysis of the FANCA gene demonstrated a base pair change, c.65G>A, which results in the creation of a premature stop codon at amino acid residue 22, p.Trp22*. This sequence change is predicted to result in an abnormal transcript, which may be degraded, or may lead to the production of a truncated FANCA protein with potentially abnormal function. The p.Trp22* change has been described in several individuals with a clinical diagnosis of Fanconi anemia (PMIDs: 9371798, 29098742); both in the homozygous (PMID: 31558676) and compound heterozgyous state (PMIDs: 31558676, 9711872, 19367192). This sequence change is present in the gnomAD database with a frequency of 0.17% in the Ashkenzi Jewish sub-population (dbSNP rs761341952). These collective evidences indicate that this sequence change is pathogenic, however functional studies have not been performed to prove this conclusively. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxMar 15, 2024Identified with a second variant, phase unknown, in multiple individuals with Fanconia anemia in published literature (PMID: 19367192, 29098742); Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 15643609, 19367192, 21273304, 28717661, 29098742, 31558676) -
Fanconi anemia Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 24, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp22*) in the FANCA gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in FANCA are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19367192). This variant is present in population databases (rs761341952, gnomAD 0.2%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Fanconi anemia (PMID: 9711872, 15643609, 19367192, 28717661, 29098742). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 550541). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

FANCA-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesApr 17, 2024The FANCA c.65G>A variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Trp22*). This variant has been reported to be causative for Fanconi anemia (Levran et al. 1997. PubMed ID: 9371798; Castella et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21273304; Steinberg-Shemer et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31558676). This variant is reported in 0.17% of alleles in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent in gnomAD and is interpreted as likely pathogenic/pathogenic in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/550541/). Nonsense variants in FANCA are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
