Chromosomal instability in patients with Fanconi anemia from Serbia.
BACKGROUND/AIM Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare hereditary disease in a heterogeneous group of syndromes, so-called chromosome breakage disorders. Specific hypersensitivity of its cells to chemical agents, such as diepoxybutane (DEB), was used as a part of screening among patients with clinical suspicion of FA. The aim of this study was to determine chromosomal instability in patients with FA symp...
متن کاملDiagnosis of Fanconi Anemia: Chromosomal Breakage Analysis
Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare inherited syndrome with diverse clinical symptoms including developmental defects, short stature, bone marrow failure, and a high risk of malignancies. Fifteen genetic subtypes have been distinguished so far. The mode of inheritance for all subtypes is autosomal recessive, except for FA-B, which is X-linked. Cells derived from FA patients are-by definition-hypersen...
متن کاملEndocrine abnormalities in patients with Fanconi anemia.
BACKGROUND Fanconi anemia (FA) is an inherited disorder with chromosomal instability, bone marrow failure, developmental defects, and a predisposition to cancer. Systematic and comprehensive endocrine function data in FA are limited. OBJECTIVE We studied a cohort of FA patients enrolled in the National Cancer Institute's Inherited Bone Marrow Failure Syndrome study. STUDY DESIGN AND PATIENT...
متن کاملImmunological Evaluation of Patients with Fanconi Anemia
Fanconi anemia (FA) is a progressive bone marrow failure syndrome with multiple congenital anomalies and predisposition to various malignancies. Immune status of these patients has been investigated in a few studies. In our study we prospectively measured serum immunoglobulin (Ig) levels, and lymphocyte subgroup counts in 25 patients with FA. Median age of the patients was 12.5 years (1.5 – 27)...
متن کاملFrequency of Hypothyroidism in Fanconi Anemia
Background: Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare, autosomal recessive (AR) and multifactorial disorder. A high prevalence of FA observed in Iran is perhaps due to the high rate of consanguineous marriages. This study investigates the extent of short stature in patients with FA, the frequency of hypothyroidism in FA and the correlation between height and hypothyroidism. Methods: Eighteen patients with ...
