Broad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard RCV003327649 SCV004034184 pathogenic Fanconi anemia complementation group A 2023-08-24 criteria provided, single submitter research A homozygous deletion of exons 18-28 in FANCA (NM_000135.4) was identified by exome sequencing and confirmed by genome sequencing in one individual with Fanconi anemia ([GRCh 38] chr16:89764114-89781847x0)(PMID: 30637794). Each copy of the variant was inherited from an unaffected heterozygous parent. The individual homozygous for this variant had an abnormal chromosomal breakage study, a highly specific cytogenetic test that confirms a diagnosis of Fanconi anemia. This exon deletion has also been reported in the literature in at least 3 individuals with Fanconi anemia (PMID: 28717661, 6809308). Of the affected individuals, at least one was a homozygote, which increases the likelihood that the exon 18-28 deletion variant is pathogenic (PMID: 6809308, 10936108). This intragenic variant is a deletion of 10 exons and is not predicted to alter the protein reading-frame, but this deletion will likely impact the protein. Loss of function of FANCA is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive Fanconi anemia (https://search.clinicalgenome.org/kb/gene-dosage). In vitro functional studies provide some evidence that this deletion may impact protein function (western blot showed modified protein expression in HSC72 cells with a homozygous exon 18-28 deletion (PMID: 11063725)). However, these types of assays may not accurately represent biological function. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive Fanconi anemia. The ACMG/ClinGen evidence codes and points used in this curation are as follows: 1: 0 points, 2: 0.45 points, 3: 0 points, 4-5: 0.45 points; Functional data: 0.15 points; Total: 1.05 points; Riggs 2020 (PMID: 31690835).
