Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	RCV000115347	SCV000917336	likely benign	not specified	2020-11-19	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Variant summary: FANCC c.178G>A (p.Val60Ile) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00091 in 253266 control chromosomes. This frequency is lower than the estimated maximum frequency expected for a pathogenic variant in FANCC causing Fanconi Anemia Group C (0.00091 vs 0.0018), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.178G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with breast, prostate, pancreatic, and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, as well as in healthy controls (e.g. Seal_2003, Thompson_2012, Chandrasekharappa_2017, Couch_2005, Dudley_2018, Verhagen_2018, Hong_2018, Bonache_2018). These reports suggest that c.178G>A (legacy name 433G>A) is unlikely to be associated with these types of cancer, but do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Fanconi Anemia Group C. Co-occurrence with another pathogenic variant has been reported (BRCA2 c.5585_5588delTGAA, p.V1862fs*11; internal sample). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported, but multiple authors consider the variant as neutral polymorphism (Savoia_1996, Verhagen_2018). Nine other ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) have cited the variant as likely benign (n=5) and uncertain significance (n=4). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign.

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina	RCV000709095	SCV001329923	uncertain significance	Fanconi anemia complementation group C	2018-01-13	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease.

This variant is present in 0.2% (108/68,020) of European alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/9-95247504-C-T?dataset=gnomad_r3). This variant is present in ClinVar, with classifications ranging from likely benign to Uncertain significance (Variation ID:127537). This variant amino acid Isoleucine (Ile) is present in more than 30 species including many mammals and is not well conserved among evolutionarily distant species; this suggests that this variant may not impact the protein. Additional computational prediction tools do not suggest an impact. Splice prediction tools suggest that this variant may affect splicing. However, further studies are needed to understand its impact. In summary, data on this variant is insufficient for disease classification. Therefore, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain.

St. Jude Molecular Pathology, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital	RCV000709095	SCV003843136	likely benign	Fanconi anemia complementation group C	2024-09-26	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	The FANCC c.178G>A (p.Val60Ile) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.19% in gnomAD v4.1.0 with 2 homozygotes (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). The in silico tool REVEL predicts a benign effect on protein function, but to our knowledge this prediction has not been confirmed by functional studies. This variant has been reported as heterozygous in two individuals with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (PMID: 28678401). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with Fanconi anemia. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely benign.

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System	RCV001354572	SCV001549220	likely benign	Malignant tumor of breast		no assertion criteria provided	clinical testing	The FANCC p.Val60Ile variant was identified in 4 of 1924 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.002) from individuals or families with breast or pancreatic cancer and was present in 7 of 2384 control chromosomes (frequency: 0.003) from healthy individuals (Seal 2003, Couch 2005, Thompson 2012). The variant was identified in dbSNP (rs138629441) as “with other allele,” ClinVar (classified as likely benign by GeneDx, Ambry Genetics and 2 other submitters; and uncertain significance by Invitae and 2 other submitters) and LOVD 3.0 (observed 1x). The variant was identified in control databases in 237 of 276,496 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0009, increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: African in 6 of 23,998 chromosomes (freq: 0.0003), Other in 6 of 6456 chromosomes (freq: 0.001), Latino in 21 of 34,398 chromosomes (freq: 0.0006), European in 181 of 126208 chromosomes (freq: 0.001434), Ashkenazi Jewish in 3 of 10,132 chromosomes (freq: 0.0003), East Asian in 1 of 18,836 chromosomes (freq: 0.00005), Finnish in 4 of 25,692 chromosomes (freq: 0.0002), and South Asian in 15 of 30,776 chromosomes (freq: 0.0005). The p.Val60 residue is not conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign.
