| Invitae | RCV001053998 | SCV001218289 | uncertain significance | Fanconi anemia | 2019-12-16 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change replaces serine with cysteine at codon 884 of the FANCA protein (p.Ser884Cys). The serine residue is weakly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between serine and cysteine. This variant is present in population databases (rs776492214, ExAC 0.001%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with FANCA-related conditions. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0". The cysteine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, suggesting that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. These predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. |
