Accordingly, a homozygous inactivating FANCC nonsense mutation (c.553C > T, p.R185X) was identified in HuH-7, resulting in partial transcriptional skipping of exon 6 and leading to the classic cellular FA hypersensitivity phenotype; HuH-7 cells exhibited a strongly reduced proliferation rate and a pronounced G2 cell cycle arrest at distinctly lower concentrations of ICL-agents than a panel of non-isogenic, FA pathway-proficient HCC cell lines.
A known mutant allele of FAC resulting from the substitution of Pro for Leu at codon 554 fails to correct the sensitivity of FA group C cells to mitomycin C. We reasoned that overexpression of the mutant protein in a wild-type cellular background might induce the FA phenotype by competing with endogenous FAC for binding to the accessory proteins.

A T-to-C transition at base 1,661 in the open reading frame is the only change found to date in the FA(C) cell line, resulting in a codon substitution from leucine554 to proline.

The study aimed at evaluating the influence of MTHFR 677C>T and NQO1 609C>T polymorphisms in toxicity and response to chemotherapy in breast cancer patients.

Among six FANCC variants leading to amino-acid substitutions, one (S26F) was present at a fourfold greater frequency in children with AML than in the cord blood samples (odds ratio: 4.09, P = 0.047; 95% confidence interval 1.08-15.54).
Four common founder mutations were identified and included two FANCA mutations (c.2546delC and c.3720_3724delAAACA) and two FANCG mutations (c.307+1G>C and c.1066C>T), which had previously been commonly observed in a Japanese FA population.

In silico analysis showed that the "A" allele of rs4647376C > A, which was more prevalent in AERD than in ATA, could act as a potential branch point (BP) site for alternative splicing (BP score = 4.16).

The study provides useful information for prediction of clinical outcomes in breast cancer patients in terms of NQO1 609C>T by evaluating its association with chemotherapy-induced toxicity.

Additionally, two non-synonymous SNPs rs201407189 (c.973G>A, p.A325T) and rs1800367 (c.1345G>A, p.V449M), and two synonymous SNPs rs55719336 (c.816C>T, p.I272I) and rs79722116 (c.1407G>A, p.T469T) were identified in FBOC patients.
