Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Moderate
The NM_018062.4(FANCL):c.268delC(p.Leu90PhefsTer6) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.
FANCL (HGNC:20748): (FA complementation group L) This gene encodes a ubiquitin ligase that is a member of the Fanconi anemia complementation group (FANC). Members of this group are related by their assembly into a common nuclear protein complex rather than by sequence similarity. This gene encodes the protein for complementation group L that mediates monoubiquitination of FANCD2 as well as FANCI. Fanconi anemia is a genetically heterogeneous recessive disorder characterized by cytogenetic instability, hypersensitivity to DNA crosslinking agents, increased chromosomal breakage, and defective DNA repair. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2018]

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu90Phefs*6) in the FANCL gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in FANCL are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19405097, 23613520). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with Fanconi anemia (PMID: 25754594). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 209076). -
