Frequency 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 ...
متن کاملFanconi anemia
What is it? Fanconi anemia (FA) is an autosomal recessive human disease characterized by congenital malformations, bone marrow failure and cancer. FA patients often develop leukemia and/or squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck or gynecologic system. FA cells are hypersensitive to DNA crosslinking agents, such as mitomycin C (MMC) or diepoxybutane (DEB), and the syndrome is believed to r...
متن کاملCancer Predisposition Evaluation of Fanconi Anemia Genes in Familial Breast
Fanconi Anemia (FA) is an autosomal recessive syndrome characterized by congenital abnormalities, progressive bone marrow failure, and susceptibility to cancer. FA has eight known complementation groups and is caused by mutations in at least seven genes. Biallelic BRCA2 mutations were shown recently to cause FA-D1. Monoallelic (heterozygous) BRCA2 mutations confer a high risk of breast cancer a...

متن کاملMutated Fanconi anemia pathway in non-Fanconi anemia cancers
An extremely high cancer incidence and the hypersensitivity to DNA crosslinking agents associated with Fanconi Anemia (FA) have marked it to be a unique genetic model system to study human cancer etiology and treatment, which has emerged an intense area of investigation in cancer research. However, there is limited information about the relationship between the mutated FA pathway and the cancer...
