We describe the quantum interference effects in the nanodevice consisting of the double quantum dot coupled to the metallic and superconducting electrodes. In such heterostructures the superconducting properties are spread to the quantum dot due to the proximity effect. We investigate the density of states and anomalous Andreev conductance of the interfacial quantum dot exploring the conditions necessary for appearance of the Fano-type lineshapes. We also consider the electron correlations and discuss an interplay between the Coulomb blockade and the Fano-type interference.
