Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000135.4(FANCA):c.1034_1035del(p.Glu345ValfsTer63) variant causes a frameshift change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000496 in 1,613,238 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. E345E) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 16-89792518-ACT-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-89792518-ACT-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 558653.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr16-89792518-ACT-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu345Valfs*63) in the FANCA gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in FANCA are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19367192). This variant is present in population databases (rs769580546, gnomAD 0.002%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Fanconi anemia (PMID: 15643609, 17924555). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 558653). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
