Genomic signature of Fanconi anaemia DNA repair pathway deficiency in cancer
Fanconi anaemia (FA), a model syndrome of genome instability, is caused by a deficiency in DNA interstrand crosslink repair resulting in chromosome breakage1–3. The FA repair pathway protects against endogenous a...

Mutations of the SLX4 gene in Fanconi anemia
Agata Smogorzewska and colleagues report mutations in SLX4 in a new subtype of Fanconi anemia. SLX4 is an endonuclease involved in DNA maintenance and repair.

FANCJ/BRIP1 recruitment and regulation of FANCD2 in DNA damage responses
FANCJ/BRIP1 encodes a helicase that has been implicated in the maintenance of genomic stability. Here, to better understand FANCJ function in DNA damage responses, we have examined the regulation of its cellul...

FANCI is a second monoubiquitinated member of the Fanconi anemia pathway
Activation of the Fanconi anemia (FA) DNA damage–response pathway results in the monoubiquitination of FANCD2, which is regulated by the nuclear FA core ubiquitin ligase complex. A FANCD2 protein sequence–base...

Biallelic mutations in PALB2 cause Fanconi anemia subtype FA-N and predispose to childhood cancer
PALB2 was recently identified as a nuclear binding partner of BRCA2. Biallelic BRCA2 mutations cause Fanconi anemia subtype FA-D1 and predispose to childhood malignancies. We identified pathogenic mutations in PA...

Article
The BRCA1-interacting helicase BRIP1 is deficient in Fanconi anemia
Seven Fanconi anemia–associated proteins (FANCA, FANCB, FANCC, FANCE, FANCF, FANCG and FANCL) form a nuclear Fanconi anemia core complex that activates the monoubiquitination of FANCD2, targeting FANCD2 to BRC...

Fanconi anemia in Ashkenazi Jews
Fanconi anemia (FA) should be included among the genetic diseases that occur at high frequency in the Ashkenazi Jewish population. FA exhibits extensive genetic heterogeneity; there are currently 11 complement...

Positional cloning of the Fanconi anaemia group A gene
The Fanconi anaemia/Breast cancer consortium* Fanconi anaemia (FA) is an autosomal recessive disorder associated with progressive bone-marrow failure, a variety of congenital abnormalities, and predisposition ...

Cytogenetics in Constitutional Aplastic Anemia
The diagnosis of aplastic anemia is based on the presence of pancytopenia combined with bone marrow hypocellularity. Aplastic anemia may be acquired or constitutional; in either case its occurrence may be indi...

Clastogen-induced chromosomal breakage as a marker for first trimester prenatal diagnosis of Fanconi anemia
Using cultured trophoblast cells obtained by chorionic villus biopsy, we diagnosed Fanconi anemia (FA) in two pregnancies and excluded it in eight pregnancies at risk for the syndrome. Baseline chromosomal bre...

Carcinogen-induced chromosome breakage in Fanconi's anaemia heterozygous cells
FANCONI'S anaemia (FA) is one of the genetic syndromes in which chromosomal instability has been associated with an increased predisposition to cancer1. An increased risk of malignancy has also been reported for ...

Susceptibility of Fanconi's anaemia fibroblasts to chromosome damage by carcinogens
INDIVIDUALS with certain genetic syndromes associated with chromosome damage show markedly increased incidence of cancer1. In one such syndrome, Fanconi's anaemia (FA), chromosomal breakage and rearrangement has ...
