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]

In silico analysis indicates that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Observed in individuals with a personal or family history of breast, pancreatic, and/or other cancers, as well as unaffected controls (PMID: 14726700, 23028338, 30256826, 33471991, 29641532); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 23028338, 30256826, 14726700, Gordon2000[Book], 33471991, 29641532) -

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

The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000054 (7/128662 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is uninformative in assessment of its pathogenicity. In the published literature, the variant has been reported in individual with breast cancer (PMID: 23028338 (2012), 33471991 (2021)). The variant has also been reported in unaffected individuals (PMID: 33471991 (2021), 14726700 (2004)). Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Additional analysis using software algorithms for the prediction of the effect of nucleotide changes on FANCC mRNA splicing yielded predictions that this variant may result in the gain of a cryptic splice site without affecting the natural splice sites . Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

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

DNA sequence analysis of the FANCC gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.28T>G, in exon 2 that results in an amino acid change, p.Cys10Gly. This sequence change has been described in the gnomAD database with a low frequency of 0.005% in the European sub-population (dbSNP rs147479204). The p.Cys10Gly change has been described in an individual with breast cancer (PMID: 23028338), as well as an unaffected individual with a family history of breast and pancreatic cancer (PMID: 14726700). The p.Cys10Gly change affects a poorly conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the FANCC protein that is known to be functional. The p.Cys10Gly substitution appears to be benign using several in-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL). Due to these contrasting evidences and the lack of functional studies, the clinical significance of the p.Cys10Gly change remains unknown at this time. -

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

Variant summary: FANCC c.28T>G (p.Cys10Gly) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.8e-05 in 250836 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.28T>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with colorectal cancer, breast cancer and/or a family history of prostate cancer (e.g. Martin-Morales_2018, Rogers_2004, Thompson_2012). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 30256826, 14726700, 23028338). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 216287). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

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 glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 10 of the FANCC protein (p.Cys10Gly). This variant is present in population databases (rs147479204, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer and/or family history of breast and pancreatic cancer (PMID: 14726700, 23028338). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 216287). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt FANCC protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. 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. -

This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following: it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease, and/or has normal protein function, and/or has lack of segregation with disease, and/or has been detected in co-occurrence with known pathogenic variant, and/or has lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or is located in a region inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
