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]

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

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. -

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

The FANCA c.1340C>T (p.Ser447Leu) variant has been reported in individuals with epithelial ovarian cancer (PMID: 32546565 (2021)), Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)/acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (PMID: 26492932 (2015)), and reportedly healthy individuals (PMID: 32546565 (2021)). Functional studies assessing the variant's role within the Fanconi Anemia pathway report no impact to protein binding (PMID: 28215707 (2017)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00088 (22/25022 chromosomes in European (Finnish) subpopulation (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is higher than would generally be expected for pathogenic variants in this gene. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is deleterious or benign. 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

The FANCA c.1340C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ser447Leu. This variant was reported in the compound heterozygous state with a second FANCA variant (c.3349-3C>T) in an individual with myelodysplastic syndrome / acute myeloid leukemia; however, this individual also had two compound heterozygous variants in the SBDS gene (Churpek et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 26492932). This variant is reported in 0.088% of alleles in individuals of European (Finnish) descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/16-89857830-G-A) and is interpreted as uncertain in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/237034/). Although we suspect that this variant may be benign, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
