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]
AOPEP (HGNC:1361): (aminopeptidase O (putative)) This gene encodes a member of the M1 zinc aminopeptidase family. The encoded protein is a zinc-dependent metallopeptidase that catalyzes the removal of an amino acid from the amino terminus of a protein or peptide. This protein may play a role in the generation of angiotensin IV. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]

Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant is denoted FANCC c.535C>T at the cDNA level and p.Arg179Ter (R179X) at the protein level. The substitution creates a nonsense variant, which changes an Arginine to a premature stop codon (CGA>TGA), and is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This variant was identified in a mother and daughter with ovarian and breast cancer respectively, but was absent in a second daughter who also had breast cancer (Thompson 2012). Based on currently available information, we consider this variant to be likely pathogenic. -

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

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg179*) 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 present in population databases (rs769039987, gnomAD 0.002%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with familial breast cancer and ovarian cancer (PMID: 23028338, 26990548). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 235535). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

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

The p.R179* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.535C>T), located in coding exon 6 of the FANCC gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 535. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 6. This mutation has been reported in a proband with breast cancer diagnosed at 37 years and her mother with ovarian cancer diagnosed at 66 years; the mutation was not identified in the proband's sister with breast cancer diagnosed at 46 years (Thompson ER et al. PLoS Genet. 2012 Sep;8(9):e1002894). This mutation was also identified in an individual undergoing reproductive carrier screening (Abuli A et al. Hum. Mutat. 2016 06;37(6):516-23). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition to the clinical data in the literature, 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. -
