Fanconi anemia, complementation group eOMIM Phenotype
Preferred Label : Fanconi anemia, complementation group e;
Symbol : FANCE;
CISMeF acronym : FACE; FANCE;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : FACE;
Description : Fanconi anemia (FA) is characterized by bone marrow failure, developmental abnormalities,
cancer predisposition, and cellular hypersensitivity to DNA cross-linking agents such
as mitomycin C (summary by de Winter et al., 2000). For additional general information
and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of Fanconi anemia, see 227650.;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the FANCE gene (FANCE, 613976.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Multiple chromosomal breaks. Chromosomal breakage induced by diepoxybutane (DEB),
and mitomycin C; Deficient excision of UV-induced pyrimidine dimers in DNA; Prolonged G2 phase of cell cycle;
