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]

This pathogenic variant is denoted FANCC c.319C>T at the cDNA level and p.Gln107Ter (Q107X) at the protein level. The substitution creates a nonsense variant, which changes a Glutamine to a premature stop codon (CAA>TAA), and is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Although this variant has not, to our knowledge, been reported in the literature, it is considered pathogenic.FANCC has been only recently described in association with cancer predisposition and the risks are not well understood. Based on available data, the presence of a FANCC mutation may confer an increased risk for female breast cancer (Thompson 2012, Berwick 2007). Berwick et al. (2007) identified 33 female FANCC mutation carriers; all grandmothers of known Fanconi Anemia patients. In this group of women the observed cases of breast cancer (n=6) was significantly higher than the expected cases of breast cancer (SIR = 2.4). Thompson et al. (2012) studied 438 BRCA-negative breast cancer families and identified 3 families with deleterious FANCC mutations. In two of these families, the identified truncating FANCC mutations were found in multiple affected family members. The authors conclude that the co-segregation of FANCC mutations in these families appears to be consistent with moderately penetrant breast cancer alleles. Fanconi Anemia (FA) is a rare autosomal recessive condition that can be caused by two mutations (one affecting each allele) in the FANCC gene. This condition is characterized by an increased risk for childhood malignancy including leukemia and solid tumors, as well as distinctive physical abnormalities and bone marrow failure. If a FANCC mutation carrier'spartner is also a carrier for a FANCC mutation, the risk to have a child with FA is 25% with each pregnancy. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: FANCC c.319C>T (p.Gln107X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory (eg. c.553C>T (p.Arg185X) and c.1642C>T (p.Arg548X)). The variant was absent in 245972 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The variant, c.319C>T, has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with Breast Cancer (Susswein_2016). This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Fanconi Anemia Group C. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. A ClinVar submission from a clinical diagnostic laboratory (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant as "pathogenic." Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln107*) in the FANCC gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in FANCC are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17924555). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 26681312). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 182497). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Q107* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.319C>T), located in coding exon 3 of the FANCC gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 319. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 3. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
