" /> Fanconi anemia, complementation group d1 - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Fanconi anemia, complementation group d1;

Symbol : FANCD1;

CISMeF acronym : FAD1; FANCD1;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Alternative titles and symbols : FAD1;

Description : Fanconi anemia (FA) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder that causes genomic instability. Characteristic clinical features include developmental abnormalities in major organ systems, early-onset bone marrow failure, and a high predisposition to cancer. The cellular hallmark of FA is hypersensitivity to DNA crosslinking agents and high frequency of chromosomal aberrations pointing to a defect in DNA repair (summary by Deakyne and Mazin, 2011). 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 BRCA2 gene (BRCA2, 600185.0009);

Neoplasia : Increased susceptibility to solid cancers; Increased susceptibility to leukemia;

Laboratory abnormalities : Chromosomal breakage induced by diepoxybutane (DEB), and mitomycin C; Multiple chromosomal breaks;
