NCIt definition : Human FANCM wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 14q21.3 and is approximately
65 kb in length. This allele, which encodes Fanconi anemia group M protein, is involved
in a specific protein ubiquination that is necessary for DNA repair. Cytogenetic aberrations
in the FANCM gene are both a cause of Fanconi anemia and a predisposing factor in
the development of malignancies.;
