Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_018062.4(FANCL):c.430delT(p.Ser144LeufsTer6) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000103 in 1,461,120 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely 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]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser144Leufs*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 present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.003%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with bladder cancer and/or clinical features of Fanconi anemia (PMID: 25754594, 29625052). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 209077). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: FANCL c.430delT (p.Ser144LeufsX6) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic within ClinVar (e.g. c.739_740dup [p.Met247fs]). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 251276 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.430delT has been reported in the literature in at least one homozygous individual affected with Fanconi Anemia (Vetro_2015). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Three ClinVar submitters have assessed the variant since 2014: all three classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
