The Fanconi anemia pathway and DNA interstrand cross-link repair

Abstract: Fanconi anemia (FA) is an autosomal or X-linked recessive disorder characterized by chromosomal instability, bone marrow failure, cancer susceptibility, and a profound sensitivity to agents that produce DNA interstrand cross-link (ICL). To date, 15 genes have been identified that, when mutated, result in FA or an FA-like syndrome. It is believed that cellular resistance to DNA interstrand cross-linking agents requires all 15 FA or FAlike proteins. Here, we review our current understanding of how these FA prote… Show more

“…Both Fancd2 −/− and heterozygote Fancd2 +/− mice were radiosensitive to head and neck irradiation compared to control Fancd2 +/+ mice measured as oral cavity tissue ulceration at day 5 postirradiation. These results confirm and extend previous publications showing radiosensitivity of total-body-irradiated Fancd2 −/− mice and the critical role of the Fancd2 protein in the response to the radiation injury (913, 16, 2528). Intraoral JP4-039/F15 protected normal tissues in head and neck irradiated Fancd2 −/− mice as well as control Fancd2 +/+ mice.…”

“…Mutations in FA pathway lead to a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by defects in all stages of ICL repair. 29,30 These repair defects are associated with congenital malformations, progressive bone marrow failure, profound genomic instability and a highly elevated risk of hematological malignancies and solid tumors. 31 The disease is genetically heterogeneous, and patients with mutations in 15 genes have been reported to show traits associated with FA (FANCA, B, C, D1/BRCA2, D2, E, F, G, H, I, J/BACH1/ BRIP1, L, M, N/PALB2, P/SLX4/ BTBD12 and O/RAD51C).…”

“…There are still some FA patients reported with unassigned subtypes, and it is suggested that the identification of additional FA or FA associated genes will give further insights into the molecular functions and mechanism of the FA pathway. 28 In conclusion, this study revealed that microphthalmia, thumb anomalies and café au lait spots are significantly more frequent in DEB/ MMC(+) cases. Anemia alone is not a determinate of FA.…”
