Description
This variant disrupts the p.Arg1400 amino acid residue in FANCA. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with FANCA-related conditions (PMID: 17924555, 29098742, 30792206), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt FANCA protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 554887). This missense change has been observed in individuals with Fanconi anemia (PMID: 15643609, 21273304, 24584348, 28102861, 28717661, 29098742). This variant is present in population databases (rs745882980, gnomAD 0.01%). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 1400 of the FANCA protein (p.Arg1400Cys). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
