Abstract excerpt
Fanconi anemia (FA) is a genetic syndrome predisposing to hematopoietic failure. Little is known about the pathophysiology of FA, except that tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is overexpressed in patients. FA group C (Fac) gene knockout mice have been developed in order to model the human disease, but the mice do not spontaneously exhibit aplasia. To investigate secondary influences on hematopoiesis in the...
