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]

Fanconi anemia Pathogenic:3
Pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedresearchDepartment of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Fujian Provincial Hospital-FANCA (P.R52*) is a nonsense mutation that is predicted to produce truncated expressed proteins with loss of their normal function; it has been reported in the literature [PMID:28973083,10094191] that this variant has been detected in patients with Fanconi anaemia; it is not included in the ESP6500, 1000genomics databases, and is available in the dbSNP and Goldfields reference population databases (rs773159223, 000002), and ClinVar database as Pathogenic. in summary, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the ACMG guidelines. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 09, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg52*) 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 (rs773159223, gnomAD 0.007%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Fanconi anemia (PMID: 10094191, 28973083). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 371668). 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. -
