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]

Lurie Children's Hospital of ChicagoMar 30, 2021FANCA NM_000135 exon 21 c.1827-1G>A: This variant has been reported in the literature in 5 individuals with Fanconi Anemia as homozygous or compound heterozygous (Moghrabi 2009 PMID:19367192). This variant is present in 7/124746 European alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/rs555449842). This variant is present in ClinVar (Variation ID:408199). Evolutionary conservation and computational predictive tools for this variant are limited or unavailable. Of note, this variant alters the consensus splice sequence (+/- 1,2) which is predicted to result in an absent or abnormal protein. Loss of function variants are a known mechanism of disease for this gene (Mathew 2006 PMID:16998502). In summary, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingMyriad Genetics, Inc.Nov 10, 2021NM_000135.2(FANCA):c.1827-1G>A is a canonical splice variant classified as pathogenic in the context of Fanconi anemia complementation group A. c.1827-1G>A has been observed in cases with relevant disease (PMID: 19367192). Functional assessments of this variant are not available in the literature. c.1827-1G>A has been observed in population frequency databases (gnomAD NFE 0.005%). In summary, NM_000135.2(FANCA):c.1827-1G>A is a canonical splice variant in a gene where loss of function is a known mechanism of disease, is predicted to disrupt protein function, and has been observed more frequently in cases with the relevant disease than in healthy populations. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. -
Fanconi anemia Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 30, 2024This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 20 of the FANCA gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in FANCA are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19367192). This variant is present in population databases (rs555449842, gnomAD 0.006%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with Fanconi anemia (PMID: 19367192, 29098742). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 408199). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpDec 07, 2022Variant summary: FANCA c.1827-1G>A is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: three predict the variant abolishes a 3' acceptor site, and two predict the variant strengthens a cryptic exonic 3' acceptor site, 5 nucleotides downstream from the original site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 246900 control chromosomes (gnomAD v2.1). c.1827-1G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple homozygous- and compound heterozygous individuals affected with Fanconi Anemia (e.g. Moghrabi_2009, Chandrasekharappa_2013, Kimble_2018, Adair_2018). 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. Six ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) have all classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
