Genes affected
FANCC (HGNC:3584): (FA complementation group C) 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 C. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpFeb 15, 2018Variant summary: FANCC c.37C>T (p.Gln13X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory (eg. c.65G>A, p.Trp22X; c.553C>T, p.Arg185X; c.1642C>T, p.Arg548X). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8.1e-06 in 245648 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in FANCC causing Fanconi Anemia Group C (8.1e-06 vs 1.80E-03), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.37C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Fanconi Anemia Group C (De Rocco_2014, Gillio_1997, Susswein_2015). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Fanconi anemia Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpAug 24, 2023For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 12046). This variant is also known as c.292C>T. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Fanconi anemia (PMID: 8103176, 8128956, 9207444, 26740942). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This variant is present in population databases (rs121917784, gnomAD 0.003%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln13*) in the FANCC gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in FANCC are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17924555). -

FANCC-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesAug 08, 2024The FANCC c.37C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Gln13*). This variant is alternatively referred to as 292C>T in literature. It has been reported in the compound heterozygous or homozygous state in several individuals with Fanconi anemia (Verlander et al. 1994. PubMed ID: 8128956; Gillio et al. 1997. PubMed ID: 9207444). It has also been reported in an individual with diffuse B-cell lymphoma (Table S2A, Huang et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29625052) and in one individual with breast cancer (Table S1, Susswein et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 26681312). This variant is reported in 0.0029% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD and is interpreted as pathogenic/likely pathogenic in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/12046/). Nonsense variants in FANCC are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsAug 12, 2021The p.Q13* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.37C>T), located in coding exon 1 of the FANCC gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 37. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 1. This alteration has been reported in the homozygous and compound heterozygous state in multiple individuals with a clinical diagnosis of Fanconi anemia (Verlander PC et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet., 1994 Apr;54:595-601; Murer-Orlando M et al. Lancet, 1993 Sep;342:686; Gillio AP et al. Blood, 1997 Jul;90:105-10; Nicchia E et al. Mol Genet Genomic Med, 2015 Nov;3:500-12). In addition to the information presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
