Congenital hypoplastic anemias are a rare and heterogeneous group of disorders. This paper reviews new molecular diagnostic tests in two distinct forms of congenital anemias, anemia due to transplacental infection with B19 parvovirus and Fanconi anemia. In both instances, molecular assays making use of amplification of DNA by the polymerase chain r...

Summary Fanconi anemia (FA) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by progressive pancytopenia, congenital malformations, and predisposition to acute myeloid leukemia. At least five complementation groups (FA-A–FA-E) have been identified. The relative prevalence of FA-A has been estimated at an average of ∼65% but may widely vary according...

Fanconi anemia (FA) is an autosomal recessive chromosomal breakage disorder characterized by developmental defects, hypersensitivity toward oxygen and DNA crosslinking agents, and susceptibility to cancer. An increased level of reactive oxygen intermediates and an increased level of 8-oxoguanine in FA cells point to a defective oxygen metabolism. R...

The function of the Fanconi anemia complementation group A (FANCA) protein remains unclear. To investigate possible protein-protein interactions, we performed yeast two-hybrid screening using a FANCA fragment as bait. Sorting nexin 5 (SNX5), a new member of the human SNX family, was identified as a putative FANCA-binding protein. The interaction be...

Summary Fanconi anemia (FA) is a genetically heterogeneous autosomal recessive disease with bone marrow failure and predisposition to cancer as major features, often accompanied by developmental anomalies. The cells of patients with FA are hypersensitive to DNA cross-linking agents in terms of cell survival and chromosomal breakage. Of the eight co...

Summary Fanconi anemia (FA) is an autosomal recessive disorder exhibiting chromosomal fragility, bone-marrow failure, congenital abnormalities, and cancer. At least eight complementation groups have been described, with group A accounting for 60%–65% of FA patients. Mutation screening of the group A gene ( FANCA) is complicated by its highly interr...

Fanconi anemia is a chromosomal breakage disorder with eight complementation groups (A–H), and three genes ( FANCA, FANCC, and FANCG) have been identified. Initial investigations of the interaction between FANCA and FANCC, principally by co-immunoprecipitation, have proved controversial. We used the yeast two-hybrid assay to test for interactions o...

Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare autosomal recessive disease manifested by bone-marrow failure and an elevated incidence of cancer. Cells taken from patients exhibit spontaneous chromosomal breaks and rearrangements. These breaks and rearrangements are greatly elevated by treatment of FA cells with the use of DNA cross-linking agents. The FA complemen...

The evidence associating Fanconi anemia (FA) phenotype to in-vitro and ex-vivo oxidative stress is reviewed. A cancer-prone genetic disease, FA is characterized by delayed bone marrow failure with a progression to aplastic anemia. It is diagnosed by excess chromosomal instability induced by two clastogens, either diepoxybutane (DEB) or mitomycin C ...
