FANCG

A gene on chromosome 9p13 that encodes a protein of the Fanconi anaemia complementation group (here, complementation group G), the members of which are related not by sequence similarity, but rather by their assembly into a common nuclear protein complex.

Although a second pathogenic mutation was not identified in the FANCG gene of the remaining three patients (FA189, FA312 and FA402), the presence of large deletions, insertions or rearrangements cannot be excluded as the causal mutations in these patients.
Sequencing of the parents' FANCG genes for non-founder mutations has not been performed.
A novel c.1636+1G>A mutation was discovered in intron 12 in the FANCG gene of patient FA465.
A second disease-causing mutation was identified in 4/7 FA patients, heterozygous for the common c.637-647delTACCGCC mutation in the FANCG gene.
In the three patients in whom the second pathogenic mutation was not identified, large deletions, insertions or rearrangements in the FANCG gene cannot be excluded as the cause of FA.
Considering that only private mutations were identified in this study, it is possible to conclude that a second common pathogenic mutation in this population is unlikely to be found in the FANCG gene.
