La anemia de Fanconi es un síndrome de inestabilidad cromosómica que cursa con falla medular, alteraciones dismorfológicas y predisposición a cáncer. Las manifestaciones de esta enfermedad incluyen anomalías del desarrollo que son parte de los acrónimos VACTERL-H y PHENOS. Estas alteraciones pueden detectarse a edades tempranas, incluso antes del inicio de las manifestaciones hemato-oncológicas. Aquí describimos cómo la búsqueda y evaluación de estas manifestaciones puede conducir a un diagnóstico temprano de la anemia de Fanconi. Fanconi anemia is a chromosome instability syndrome associated with bone marrow failure, physical abnormalities, and cancer predisposition. The Fanconi anemia phenotype includes several morphological anomalies that are part of the VACTERL-H and PHENOS acronyms. These physical alterations can be detected at an early age, even before the onset of hemato-oncological manifestations. Here we describe how to look for and evaluate these manifestations, leading to an early diagnosis of Fanconi anemia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
