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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 16-89748658-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-89748658-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 3075866.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

The c.3348+1G>T variant in FANCA has been reported in 3 Fanconi anemia patients in the compound het state with pathogenic FANCA variants (https://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/FANCA). The variant was absent from large population studies. This variant occurs within the canonical splice site (+/- 1,2) and is predicted to cause altered splicing leading to an abnormal or absent protein. Loss of function of the FANCA gene is an established disease mechanism in Fanconi anemia complementation group A. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive Fanconi anemia complementation group A. ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PVS1, PM3_S, PM2_P. -
