Engraftment of Hematopoietic Progenitor Cells Transduced with the Fanconi Anemia Group C Gene (FANCC)

Abstract excerpt

Fanconi anemia (FA) is an autosomal recessive disorder that leads to aplastic anemia. Mutations in the FANCC gene account for 10-15% of cases. FA cells are abnormally sensitive to DNA-damaging agents such as mitomycin C (MMC). Transfection of normal FANCC into mutant cells corrects this hypersensitivity and improves their viability in vitro. Four FA patients, representing the three major FANCC mutation subgroups,...
