Fanconi anemia gene mutations in young-onset pancreatic cancer.

Abstract excerpt

Genes of the Fanconi complementation groups [Fanconi anemia (FA) genes] are suggested to be involved in homologous DNA recombination and produce FA when two allelic mutations are inherited. BRCA2 is an FA gene and additionally conveys an inherited risk for breast, ovarian, and pancreatic cancer for individuals carrying a single mutated allele [N. G. Howlett et al., Science (Wash. DC), 297: 606-609, 2002]. Here we...
