Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PVS1PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000135.4(FANCA):​c.2812_2830dupGAAATTCAACCTGAAGCTG​(p.Asp944GlyfsTer5) variant causes a frameshift, stop gained change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000682 in 1,613,950 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type INS_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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]

The FANCA c.2812_2830dup (p.Asp944GlyfsTer5) change duplicates 19 nucleotides to cause a frameshift and the creation of a premature stop codon. This change is predicted to cause protein truncation or absence of protein due to nonsense-mediated decay. This variant has been reported in individuals with Fanconi anemia (PMID: 26740942, 29098742). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Asp944Glyfs*5) 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 (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.002%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with Fanconi anemia (PMID: 24584348, 26740942, 29098742). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 552489). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Genetic Services Laboratory, University of Chicago
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change results in an amino acid frameshift and creates a premature stop codon 4 amino acids downstream of the mutation, p.Asp944Glyfs*5. This pathogenic 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. This pathogenic sequence change has previously been described in patients with Fanconi anemia (Morgan NV, et al., 1999; Savino M et al., 1997; De Rocco D et al., 2014; Nicchia E, et al., 2015). -
