Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points: 0P and 2B. BP4_Moderate
The NM_000135.4(FANCA):c.3551G>C(p.Arg1184Pro) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000306 in 1,609,978 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R1184W) has been classified as Likely benign.

Fanconi anemia complementation group A Uncertain:4
This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

The FANCA c.3551G>C (p.Arg1184Pro) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.033% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). The in silico tool REVEL predicts a deleterious effect on protein function, but to our knowledge this prediction has not been confirmed by functional studies. This variant has been reported in individuals with breast and ovarian cancer, but it has also been observed in healthy controls (PMID: 35884425, 37349538). A case-control study of 6,385 invasive epithelial ovarian cancer patients and 6,115 controls indicated that individuals with this variant had an increased risk of developing ovarian cancer with an odds ratio of 3.83 (PMID: 32546565). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals with Fanconi anemia. In summary, the evidence currently available is insufficient to determine the clinical significance of this variant. It has therefore been classified as of uncertain significance. -

The FANCA c.3551G>C (p.Arg1184Pro) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with breast cancer (PMID: 35884425 (2022)), ovarian cancer (PMID: 32546565 (2021)), head/neck squamous cell carcinoma (PMID: 28678401 (2017)), as well as in reportedly healthy individuals (PMIDs: 32546565 (2021), 29641532 (2018)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00033 (10/30462 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. 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. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -
In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge -

FANCA-related disorder Uncertain:1
The FANCA c.3551G>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg1184Pro. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with ovarian cancer; however, it was also been documented in controls (Table S6 - Song et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32546565). This variant is reported in 0.033% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent in gnomAD and has conflicting interpretations in ClinVar including likely benign and uncertain (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/321335/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
