Mutated 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...
متن کاملThe Fanconi Anemia Pathway of Genomic Maintenance
Fanconi anemia (FA), a recessive syndrome with both autosomal and X-linked inheritance, features diverse clinical symptoms, such as progressive bone marrow failure, hypersensitivity to DNA cross-linking agents, chromosomal instability and susceptibility to cancer. At least 12 genetic subtypes have been described (FA-A, B, C, D1, D2, E, F, G, I, J, L, M) and all except FA-I have been linked to a...
متن کاملBRCA1: a missing link in the Fanconi anemia/BRCA pathway.
Domchek and colleagues provide a case report of a 28-year-old woman with congenital abnormalities, inherited ovarian cancer, and carboplatin hypersensitivity. Interestingly, the woman had validated germline mutations in both BRCA1 alleles. These findings further implicate BRCA1 in the Fanconi anemia/BRCA pathway and have important implications for BRCA1 genetic testing.
متن کاملThe 13th Fanconi Anemia Gene Identified: FANCI – Importance of the ‘Fanconi Anemia Pathway’ for Cellular Oncology
After quite some scientific debate over the last decade, it has become evident that chromosomal instability is a major driving force in the pathogenesis of the vast majority of human cancers [1–3]. In addition, different patterns of chromosomal instability appear to have different clinical implications [4,5]. Yet, unlike for the less common form of genomic instability caused by failing DNA mism...
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 ...
