FANCA Gene Mutations with 8 Novel Molecular Changes in Indian Fanconi Anemia Patients
Fanconi anemia (FA), a rare heterogeneous genetic disorder, is known to be associated with 19 genes and a spectrum of clinical features. We studied FANCA molecular changes in 34 unrelated and 2 siblings of Indian patients with FA and have identified 26 different molecular changes of FANCA gene, of which 8 were novel mutations (a small deletion c.2500delC, 4 non-sense mutations c.2182C>T, c.2630...
متن کاملInvestigation of FANCA gene in Fanconi anaemia patients in Iran
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Fanconi anaemia (FA) is a syndrome with a predisposition to bone marrow failure, congenital anomalies and malignancies. It is characterized by cellular hypersensitivity to cross-linking agents such as mitomycin C (MMC). In the present study, a new approach was selected to investigate FANCA (Fanconi anaemia complementation group A) gene in patients clinically diagnosed wi...
متن کاملHypomorphic FANCA mutations correlate with mild mitochondrial and clinical phenotype in Fanconi anemia
Fanconi anemia is a rare disease characterized by congenital malformations, aplastic anemia, and predisposition to cancer. Despite the consolidated role of the Fanconi anemia proteins in DNA repair, their involvement in mitochondrial function is emerging. The purpose of this work was to assess whether the mitochondrial phenotype, independent of genomic integrity, could correlate with patient ph...
متن کاملOrigin, functional role, and clinical impact of Fanconi anemia FANCA mutations.
Fanconi anemia is characterized by congenital abnormalities, bone marrow failure, and cancer predisposition. To investigate the origin, functional role, and clinical impact of FANCA mutations, we determined a FANCA mutational spectrum with 130 pathogenic alleles. Some of these mutations were further characterized for their distribution in populations, mode of emergence, or functional consequenc...
متن کاملPhenotypic consequences of mutations in the Fanconi anemia FAC gene: an International Fanconi Anemia Registry study.
Fanconi anemia (FA) is a genetically and phenotypically heterogeneous disorder defined by cellular hypersensitivity to DNA cross-linking agents; mutations in the gene defective in FA complementation group C, FAC, are responsible for the syndrome in a subset of patients. We have performed an analysis of the clinical effects of specific mutations in the FAC gene. Using the amplification refractor...
