... Abstract At the cellular level, defects in Fanconi anemia (FA) genes manifest themselves ashypersensitivity to DNA damaging agents which can be assessed by increased chromosomebreakage and cell cycle changes. As long-term manifestations of cellular genetic instability,FA patients are at high...

... Abstract Renal Fanconi syndrome (FS) is a generalized dysfunction of proximal tubular epithelial cells leading to the urinary leak of essential metabolites like phosphate, uric acid, glucose, amino acids and low molecular weight proteins. From inherited forms involving mutations on apparently...

... Abstract We present the clinical case histories of 7 patients with Fanconi Anemia (FA) in orderto illustrate the widely divergent phenotypes and clinical courses of the disease. Moreover,these case histories demonstrate that androgen therapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantationare...

... Abstract Fanconi anemia patients have a high risk for bone marrow failure, aplastic anemia,myelodysplastic syndrome, and acute myeloid leukemia. Many FA patients acquire chromosomalaberrations in their bone marrow (BM) cells. The significance and predictive value ofthese somatic aberrations...

... Abstract Chromosome breakage analysis following exposure of cultured cells to DNAcrosslinkingagents has long been considered the ‘gold standard’ for the confirmation orexclusion of Fanconi anemia (FA). Cells containing DNA damage are arrested and accumulate,with a 4c DNA content, near the S/G2...

... Abstract Bone marrow transplantation from an HLA-identical sibling donor is the treatment ofchoice for Fanconi anemia (FA) patients with bone marrow failure. However, with today’ssmall size families less than 25% of FA patients have a matching sibling donor. The remainingpatients can be treated...
